Roof system.
The fully automatic roof system of the
n e w 911
Targa 4 models is innovative –
and extremely robust. With the vehicle
stationary, the roof opens and closes
fully automatically in around 20 seconds.
And it folds away behind the rear seats
elegantly and with visual perfection. The roof materials are as pioneering as
the overall concept. Two magnesium
elements provide optimum tensioning of
the fabric hood, while the heatable rear
screen is made from laminated safet y
glass. Together with the soundproofed
interior lining of the hood itself, this
selection of materials ensures an
incredibly low level of driving noise with the roof closed. An extendable wind
deflector is integrated into the
windscreen cowl surround.
The roll-over protection of the Targa roll
bar fulfils the most stringent requirements
for safet y. And all the more so in terms
of design. It takes cues from the classic
form of the original Targa: with gills on either side, a surface finish in aluminium
and the ‘targa’ logo left and right.
In short, the roof system offers the driving
feel of a 911
Coupé and the driving
experience of an open-top sports car.
Principle 29
Engineered design.
Engine, chassis, body. In every component
of the 911, we have invested years of
experience, thousands of ideas and
countless hours of development. Even the
smallest innovation would fill a book. Yet,
it is only when all individual parts work as
one that we see a particular principle
emerge: a harmonious overall concept or
– as our engineers sometimes call it – the
unique technical layout of the 911.
This principle has made the 911 fit for the
future since 1963. 2+2 seats are the
ideal concept for a compact and pure-
bred sports car that nevertheless offers
an astonishing amount of space and an
airy feel. Then there is the compact engine in the
rear end: the optimum drive concept for
the 911. It is this position that helps to
ensure excellent traction and lends the
911
its unique driving feel.
The logical place for belongings in a
rear- engined sports car is the luggage
compartment at the front. This is key
to good travel comfort, remarkable
everyday practicality – and the strong
individualit y of an unadulterated sports
c a r.
The perfect basis for superlative sport y
performance, which you can bring to the
road day in, day out.
How do we defend our position?
By always being one idea ahead.
Tradition and future of the 911
principle.

Airbags and Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP).
The new 911 models offer advanced
airbag technology in the form of full-size
driver and front passenger airbags, which
are inflated in t wo stages depending on
the severit y and t ype of accident.
All new 911
models are also equipped as
standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). It comprises
side impact protection elements in the
doors and t wo airbags on each side. An
integral thorax airbag is located in each
seat side bolster, while the door panels
each contain an upwards-inflating head
airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume
of 10 litres and each head airbag
15 litres, ensuring excellent protection
in the event of a side impact.
Roll-over protection.
In the 911 Carrera Cabriolet models,
an automatically deploying roll-over
protection system offers added
protection if the car were to overturn.
Two spring-loaded roll-over bars are
neatly incorporated behind the rear
seats. The roll-over sensor continuously
monitors the car’s pitch and roll, contact
with the road, as well as lateral and
longitudinal forces. The instant a potential
roll- over is detected, it initiates deployment
of the roll-over bars within fractions of a
second. For the 911 Targa 4 and
911 Targa 4S, added roll- over safet y is
provided by a steel protection system
concealed behind the aluminium trim of
the Targa roll bar.
Comfort 81
Sports steering wheel.
Fit ted as standard, the sports steering
wheel with spoked design is light weight
and functional. The small centre pad and
the chrome ring encircling the Porsche
Crest – both derived from the steering
wheel of the 918 Spyder – reinforce its
sporty character.
In conjunction with PDK, the sports
steering wheel features two alloyed
gearshift paddles. The shift throw of the
paddles has been reduced, gearshifts
are even crisper. Available as an option
is the new GT sports steering wheel. This
has a smaller diameter. The decorative
ring and the paddles are finished in
Galvano Silver, while the spoke trims are
screw-fastened. For a motorsport-derived
design? Definitely. Above all, though, to
emulate a motorsport driving feel.
Heating and multifunction controls are optionally available for all steering wheels.
These give you fingertip access to the
colour display, the on-board computer
and many audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
Light design package.
The optional light design package is both
practical and aesthetically appealing. It
comprises dimmable LEDs in the overhead
console and in the areas of the door
handles, door storage compartments,
front foot wells and rear seats.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
With the optional Porsche Entry & Drive,
you can leave your car key in your
pocket. As soon as you grab the door
handle, or your hand nears the Porsche
Crest on the luggage compartment lid, the system automatically checks the
encrypted access code on the key. Once
the key is validated, the door or the
luggage compartment lid unlocks. The
engine can then be started and switched
off using the electronic ignition switch.
Comfort 83
Sports seats.
The Sports seats are comfortable and
provide support even during performance
driving. They are equipped as standard
with electric seat height and backrest
adjustment and mechanical fore/aft
adjustment.
Optional fully electric Sports seats offer
a wider range of powered adjustments,
such as lumbar support and seat squab
angle and depth. A comprehensive
memory function and electric steering
column adjustment are also included.
Sports seats Plus.
Available as an option are Sports seats
Plus in leather with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment. The side bolsters on the squab and backrest have
a firmer, sportier padding and offer even
better lateral support.
Adaptive Sports seats Plus in leather are
available on request. Featuring 18-way
electric adjustment of seat positions,
including side bolsters, they also come
with a comprehensive memory function
and electric steering column adjustment.
Sports bucket seats.*
Sports bucket seats featuring a folding
backrest, integral thorax airbag and
manual fore/aft adjustment are available
as optional equipment. The seat shells
are made from glass- and carbon-fibre
reinforced plastic with a carbon surface
finish.
Seat heating and ventilation.
Seat heating is available as an option for
all seats. Seats are heated in the squab,
the backrest and, for the front seats, the
side bolsters. Seat ventilation is also
available on request (excluding Sports
bucket seats) – for a pleasant and dry
seating environment, even in hot weather.
Rear seats.
The rear seats are remarkably
comfortable for a sports car and the
shelf behind offers additional storage
space. With the backrests folded down,
the luggage compartment volume in the
rear of the 911
Carrera models increases
to 260 litres and, with a capacity of
160 litres, the 911
Carrera Cabriolet and
911
Targa models offer plent y of space
for luggage, too.
We’ve been on a journey to new destinations for over 60 years.
So we’ve learnt the value of sitting comfortably.
Comfort.
Child seat preparation.*
ISOFIX child seat preparation including
top tether (Coupé models only) is
available on the rear seats as standard.
On request, we can equip the front
passenger seat with ISOFIX child seat
preparation and integrate an airbag
deactivation feature.
* Child seats are not compatible with the Spor ts bucket seats.
Luggage compartment.
The luggage compartment volume in the
911
models is 145 litres – 125 litres in
t h e 911
all-wheel drive models. The
luggage compartment is fully trimmed in
scratch-resistant materials.

Carrera S Cabriolet in Jet Black Metallic.
T h i s 911 substantiates style: yours. Its
outward appearance is dominated by
the classy Jet Black Metallic – tastefully
combining with the brown of the hood.
This exclusive look is refined by LED
main headlights in black and by headlight
cleaning system covers in Jet Black
Metallic. In keeping: elegant 20 -inch
Carrera S wheels painted in satin
platinum. Sports tailpipes and the model
designation on the doors in silver colour
round off the overall impression of this
style icon. The interior continues the theme in true
st yle: the interior package, the sports
steering wheel including multifunction
controls and steering wheel heating, and
the PDK gear selector are all in mahogany.
These are complemented by the use of
hard-wearing yet elegant leather in
Espresso, e.g. for the backrests, Sports
seats Plus, air vents, seat belt buckles
and storage compartment lid embossed
with the Porsche Crest.
Hard to demonstrate a greater assurance
