Porsche

Lightweight construction

One of the most striking characteristics of any Porsche is its intelligent, lightweight construction that benefits both performance and the environment. Measures to achieve this include using a high proportion of aluminium alloys, plastics and high-strength sheet steel, which is more stable and lighter than conventional steel.

The 911 consists of almost 20 per cent alloys.

The practical implications of this are evident in the 911 Turbo. With a total weight of just 1,585 kilograms (manual transmission), it is one of the lightest vehicles in its class. As standard, the car comes with all-wheel drive and numerous features that offer customers exceptional levels of safety and comfort. These aspects transcend previous models by far and also translate into lower vehicle weight.
