Chassis

The chassis of the 911 Turbo models enables smooth high-speed maneuvers. The car offers exceptionally high levels of stability. And cornering agility. Large 20-inch wheels play their part. The rear axle cross member made of aluminium is new – for an additional reduction in weight.

Rear axle steering

Thanks to the rear axle steering, everyday usability and performance have both been equally increased.

At speeds up to 30 mph, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This has the virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced, steering into corners becomes much more dynamic and parking is noticeably easier.

At speeds above 50 mph, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. The result is a virtual extension of the wheelbase and increased stability, for example when performing high-speed maneuvers on the motorway.

Between 30 and 50 mph, the steering direction is constantly changing depending on the driving conditions. Thanks to the excellent stabilising properties of the rear axle steering, it has also been possible to make the steering ratio on the front axle more direct around the central position. The advantage here is greater agility at higher speeds.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM is an electronic active damping system. It responds to changing road conditions and/or driving style by continuously varying the individual damping forces within the parameters defined for the chosen mode. Pitch and roll are reduced, whilst contact of each wheel with the road is optimized.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

PDCC is fitted as standard in the 911 Turbo S models. It is an active antiroll system that suppresses lateral body movement during cornering maneuver. It also minimizes the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

But what does that mean? Improved dynamic performance and increased ride comfort – at all speeds – as well as optimized turn-in and stable load transfer characteristics.

Wheels

The 20-inch 911 Turbo wheel

Forged, of course, to reduce weight and unsprung masses. With highly polished wheel center.

The 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheel with central locking device

This partially black painted and highly polished aluminium wheel has been forged. It is especially light and sets standards in driving comfort and performance as well as in design. With central locking device including chrome-plated wheel center with full colour Porsche Crest – and anti-theft protection.

The 20-inch Sport Classic wheel

As an option, you can select alloy wheels forged in a single piece with the fivespoke Sport Classic design. The spokes and center have a GT Silver Metallic paint finish and the rim has been high-gloss polished. The wheel center bears the Porsche Crest in full colour.

Tire Pressure System (TPS)

Tire Pressure System (TPS) is included as standard equipment on all models. It warns against low tire pressure and slow or even sudden pressure loss. The driver is informed via the on-board computer display.

Front axle lift system

Available as an option, the lift system raises the vehicle by around 40 mm at the front – while driving at a speed of up to approximately 37 mph. This new system ensures that curbs, ramps and garage entrances no longer present a sporting challenge.

Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA)

All 911 Turbo models feature active aerodynamics – as a combination of a multi-stage adjustable front spoiler and a rear spoiler. The front spoiler, which is made from a flexible, pneumatic elastomer, and the rear spoiler will extend and retract synchronously in three positions.

In stage one (Start), front spoiler and rear spoiler are completely retracted. This increases suitability for everyday use because there is less risk of getting caught on ramps, thresholds or kerb edges. The spoiler lip is well protected.

In stage two (Speed), after 120 km/h, the front spoiler and rear spoiler are partially extended. This helps to ensure a considerable level of stability, a low drag coefficient and enables a high top speed.

Stage three (Performance) is activated by the spoiler button or in SPORT PLUS mode.

The front and rear spoilers are now fully extended. The ‘turbo’ or ‘turbo S’ logo can be seen on the front spoiler lip. Also, in this position, the rear spoiler is tilted by up to 15 degrees. Thanks to the high level of downforce on the front and rear axles, in this setting the car can release its full performance potential, for example on the racetrack. The downforce also provides advantages when braking at high speeds.

Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA). A system that combines everyday usability, efficiency and driving performance.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM is an automatic control system for stabilization when driving at the limits of performance. Under acceleration on wet or low-grip road surfaces, PSM improves traction using the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). For a high level of stability combined with exceptional agility.

In SPORT mode, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised. Agility is perceptibly enhanced when braking for corners with PSM, allowing very sporty braking and exit acceleration. For maximum dexterity, PSM can be set to standby. Although, if desired, it’s still there in the background.

Brakes

We place just as much importance on braking performance as performance generally. On the 911 Turbo models, the brakes feature red six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers at the front and four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers at the rear. The brake disc diameter is 380 mm front and rear.

The brake calipers have an enclosed monobloc construction. This makes them tougher but lighter, enabling a more rapid response and release of the brake, even under extreme loads. The pedal travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are cross-drilled for better performance in the wet.

Standard equipment in the 911 Turbo S models: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The cross-drilled ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance.

The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston aluminium monobloc units at the rear – all finished in yellow – ensures extremely high brake forces which, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.

The key advantage of the ceramic braking system is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. This reduces the unsprung and rotating masses, resulting in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling.

Vehicle body

The innovative bodyshell of the 911 Turbo models fulfils two structural design requirements: first, excellent driving dynamics due to the body’s extremely high rigidity. Second, a saving in vehicle weight primarily because of the intelligent lightweight construction.

State-of-the-art techniques are used to combine various materials in order to utilise specific material properties exactly where they are needed. For the bodyshell, therefore, we used very thin, but nevertheless extremely rigid, sheets of steel. Aluminium was utilized extensively in areas such as the roof, underbody, doors, engine compartment and luggage compartment lids.

Magnesium, which is a particularly lightweight material, was also selected for the cockpit and center console support beam. Such material efficiency is key to reducing the overall weight and, as a result, the fuel consumption of the vehicle.

Airbags and Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP)

The full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger inflate in two stages depending on the severity and type of accident. In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inflated.

The Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP) comprises side impact protection elements in the doors and two airbags on each side: an integral thorax airbag is located in the seat side bolsters, while the door panels each contain a head airbag – ensuring excellent protection in the event of a side impact.

Interior

Complementing the unadorned presence of the exterior: the interior character. Never frivolous, always direct, focused on the driver. Featuring clever technology and clear operating logic. Such as that of the two-zone air conditioning system or the suspension settings button. Rather than browsing one submenu after another, you can concentrate on what’s important: the road.

The interior materials are of high quality – with a sporty character. 911 Turbo models have the interior leather package as standard, including leather seats, dashboard and door and side panel trim. Alcantara® has proven its credentials in motorsport and is used as standard for the roof lining of the Coupé models. On the 911 Turbo S models, the decorative trims for the dashboard, center console and door trims are finished in carbon.

With two-tone color combinations or special colours and with materials such as carbon, aluminium and mahogany, there is plenty of scope for personalisation.

Seats

Fully electric Sport seats

They offer electric adjustment of seat height, backrest angle, squab angle and squab depth, along with fore/aft position and four-way lumbar support.

The integrated memory package supports the exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side as well as settings for the steering wheel, lights, wipers, air conditioning, door locks, PCM and instrument cluster.

Adaptive Sport seats Plus

Adaptive Sport seats Plus are fitted as standard in the 911 Turbo S and the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. The firm sporty padding of the side bolsters and additional shoulder supports provide the best possible hold.

In addition, the side bolsters on the seat squab and backrest can be adjusted independently for added comfort on long journeys and precision lateral support on winding roads. Also included is the memory function for all seat positions (apart from the side bolsters) on the driver’s side.

Sport seat Plus*

Available as an option, at no extra cost, are Sport seats Plus 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 excellent lateral support. As for adaptive Sport seats Plus, the backrest shell is finished in Silver Grey (911 Turbo models) or leather (911 Turbo S models).

Sport bucket seats**

Featuring a folding backrest, integral thorax airbag and manual fore/aft adjustment, Sport bucket seats are available as optional equipment. The seat shells are made from glass- and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a stylish carbon-weave finish.

The pivot points of the seat backrest are positioned high in the side bolsters, guaranteeing lateral support – characteristic of racing bucket seats – in the pelvis area too.

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 911 Turbo Coupé models increases to 260 liters, providing plenty of space for luggage. You have 160 liters in the 911 Turbo Cabriolet models.

Child seats**

ISOFIX child seat preparation including top tether is available for the rear seats as standard. On request, you can have the front passenger seat equipped with ISOFIX child seat preparation and we can integrate an airbag deactivation feature.

Seat heating and seat ventilation

Three-way adjustable seat heating is available for all seats as an option at no extra charge. Seats are heated in the squab, the backrest and, for the front seats, the side bolsters. In conjunction with seat heating, we can equip the seats (except for Sport bucket seats) with seat ventilation on request. A slipstream effect is produced by active ventilation of the perforated seat center and backrest and by passive aeration at the side bolsters. This makes for a dry and pleasant seating environment, even in hot weather.

GT sport steering wheel

The new GT sports steering wheel features electric height and reach adjustment, a MODE switch with SPORT Response button and two gearshift paddles made from an alloy. They are ergonomically located behind the left- and right-hand steering wheel spokes. As an option, the steering wheel is available with multifunction controls for operating audio and communications functions, as well as the on-board computer. The steering wheel rim can then also be heated by pressing a button on the steering wheel.

Assistance systems

Adaptive cruise control including Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

Cruise control, the automatic speed control function, is integrated as standard in all 911 Turbo models. Adaptive cruise control is available as an option. This function regulates your speed according to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front. A radar sensor monitors the road ahead up to a distance of 200 meters. If your vehicle approaches the vehicle in front too quickly, Porsche Active Safe (PAS) will issue audible and visual warnings. In addition, the system briefly jerks the brakes and, if necessary, initiates target braking, with any braking pressure applied by the driver being increased within certain system limits.

Lane Change Assist

The optional Lane Change Assist system uses radar sensors to monitor the area to the rear of the vehicle and the blind spots on either side. Above a speed of TBD mph, the system issues a visual signal in the mirror to inform you that vehicles are approaching from behind or entering one of the blind spots. Lane Change Assist improves comfort and safety, particularly on motorways. However, the system does not actively intervene to control the vehicle and can be deactivated at any time.

ParkAssist and the reversing camera

ParkAssist at the front and rear and the reversing camera are fitted as standard to all 911 Turbo models. An intermittent warning tone increases in rapidity as an obstacle is approached. The audible alert is supplemented by a visual warning on the central display screen. A reversing camera facilitates precise reverse parking and manoeuvring as the image is shown within PCM.

Light system

LED headlights

The inner workings of the LED headlights fitted as standard consist of two housings arranged at different levels. Daytime running lights are integrated into each headlight in the form of four LED spots encircled by a light ring.

The effect? Resembling daylight, the LED light is very bright, thus ensuring excellent illumination of the road ahead. Thanks to optimized close-range, side and distance lighting and the daylight-like coloring, your eyes become tired less quickly than with other systems.

Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+)

PDLS, the dynamic cornering light, swivels the main headlights towards the inside of a bend according to the steering angle and driving speed.

On the 911 Turbo S models, the LED headlights are combined with PDLS+. In addition to all of the functions provided by PDLS, PDLS+ has dynamic main beam control. It is activated at speeds in excess of 37 mph and identifies the lights of the car in front as well as oncoming vehicles. The range of the light cone can then be individually adapted to the current situation.

Porsche Entry & Drive

You can leave your car key in your pocket: as soon as you grab the door handle or approach the luggage compartment, optional Porsche Entry & Drive automatically checks the encrypted access code on the key. Once the key is validated, the door or the luggage compartment lid is unlocked. The engine can then be started and switched off using the electronic ignition starter switch.

BOSE® Surround Sound System

The surround sound system from BOSE® that is fitted as standard is perfectly tuned to the specific interior acoustics of the 911 Turbo models.

12 loudspeakers. A total output of 555 watts. For impressive sound quality. In the 911 Turbo models, the subwoofer amplifier is integrated into the main amplifier, thus saving six kilograms in weight. The fully active system design makes it possible to adjust each individual loudspeaker optimally to the vehicle interior – and transforms your 911 Turbo into a concert hall. An exceptionally fast one.

Audio is reproduced in stereo – or in a surround mode if desired, generated by the BOSE® Centerpoint® 2 technology.

The BOSE®-patented AudioPilot® noise compensation technology uses a microphone to continuously measure the ambient noise inside the vehicle, and adapts music playback instantly and automatically so that a consistent sound is maintained. Whatever the driving conditions. In real time.

All in all, a powerful sound and a captivating 360-degree acoustic experience.

Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System

When two iconic German manufacturers join forces, the result is special. We’re referring to Porsche and Berlin-based Burmester®, one of the most respected manufacturers of high-end audio equipment worldwide. The Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System owes its eminence to countless details, and one goal: sound perfection.

This system boasts 12 amplifier channels with a total output of 821 watts, 12 loudspeakers including an active subwoofer with 300-watt class D amplifier, a total diaphragm surface area of more than 1,340 cm² and a frequency response of 35 Hz to 20 kHz.

The Burmester® system uses the patented integral subwoofer, which is perfectly integrated into the vehicle body. Crossover technology has been carried over more or less unmodified from the home audio sector. Analogue and digital filters have been optimally defined for their new installation location and finely tuned after extensive in-car audio testing.

The tweeters are ribbon-based air motion transformers (AMT) for an unmistakably fine, clear and undistorted high-frequency sound reproduction with excellent level stability. All speaker housings are perfectly matched and deliver superior bass sound, definition and precision. The result is a natural and richly textured spatial sound even at top volume.

The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM)

The enhanced Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is your central control unit for all infotainment applications and is standard equipment in all models. The PCM features a high-resolution touch display with integrated proximity sensor which allows simple and convenient operation.

Infotainment already starts when you charge and connect your iPhone® or any other audio source. You can connect your device easily using either the USB port or AUX input. An internal hard drive ("Jukebox") and two SD card readers are provided in addition to the CD/DVD drive for playback of your personal music. After inserting the SD cards, you can simply play your music with the music player in the PCM.

The mobile phone preparation makes it easy for you to establish a Bluetooth® connection to a mobile phone that supports the hands-free profile (HFP). The cell phone can remain in your pocket or bag.
