A rest yling of the Bi-Xenon main
headlights – fit ted as standard – sees
the four-spot LED day time running lights
now incorporated into each headlight
unit. These are an innovative technical
feature of the new 911
models – and
a facet of their personality. After all,
it is the characteristic lighting design
that makes the face of the 911
so
unmistakable.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for all functions of the redesigned
taillights. As well as being a powerful
lighting source, LEDs offer a fast response
to driver input. The LED brake lights
emulate the four-spot appearance of the
daytime running lights.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
is available as an option. Its dynamic
cornering light function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
so as to light up more of the road at
bends and turns. Put simply, the road
ahead is illuminated the moment you
start to corner. PDLS also features
speed-sensitive headlight range control
and the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
Superior safety meets sporty design in
the form of optional LED main headlights
including PDLS Plus. In addition to being
efficient and long-lasting, LED technology
also creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.
One special feature of PDLS Plus is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dynamic
main beam function then adapts the

headlight range accordingly. This
continuous, seamless control means
that you are able to see the course of
the road, pedestrians and potential
hazards earlier without hindering other
road users.

Technical data.
1) Weight is calculated in accordance with the relevant EC Directives and is valid for vehicles with standard specification only. Optional equipment increases this figure. The figure given includes 68 kg for the driver and 7 kg for luggage. 2) Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law (Regulation [EC] 715/2007 as amended). The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute par t of the of fer. They are intended solely as
a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Fuel consumption calculated for vehicles with standard specification only. Actual consumption and performance may vary with items of optional equipment. A vehicle's fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions depend not only on its ef ficient use of fuel but also on driving st yle and other non -technical factors. The latest Porsche models with petrol engine are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10 %.
