Intelligent lightweight construction is a fundamental aspect of design at Porsche. For both economic and ecological reasons. This forms the basis for achieving low fuel consumption values combined with outstanding performance.

It is economical thanks to the high proportion of cast aluminium alloys, magnesium, plastics and high-strength sheet steel, the latter being much stronger and lighter than conventional steel. The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models consist of almost 20% lightweight alloys.

It is also ecological because all materials used are carefully selected. Only the latest, environmentally sound components are used. All lightweight materials are easily recyclable, while the variety of synthetic components has been reduced. Recycled plastics are used in all areas of the car where they meet our exacting technical requirements. To simplify processing, all materials are labelled for separate recycling.

In short, approximately 95% of today’s 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models can be recycled.

Porsche primarily uses environmentally friendly water-based paints. All areas of the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models are free from asbestos, CFCs and components manufactured using CFCs. Because at Porsche, helping the environment doesn’t start at the end of a vehicle’s life. It starts right at the beginning at the planning and development stages.
