f Belts should not be worn twisted.
f Do not wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as eye glasses, pens, keys, etc. as these may cause injury. f Several layers of heavy clothing may interfere with proper positioning of belts. f Belts must not rub against sharp objects or damage may occur to the belt. f Two occupants should never share the same belt at the same time. Care and maintenance f Keep belt buckles free of any obstruction that may prevent a secure locking. f Belts that have been subjected to excessive stretch forces in an accident must be inspected or replaced to ensure their continued effectiveness in restraining you. The same applies to belt tensioner systems which have been triggered. In addition, the anchor points of the belts should be checked. f If safety belts do not work properly, see your authorized Porsche dealer immediately. f If the belts show damage to webbing, bindings, buckles or retractors, they should be replaced to ensure safe operation. f Do not modify or disassemble the safety belts in your vehicle.
f The belts must be kept clean or the retractors may not work properly. Please see the chapter CAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS on Page 222. f Never bleach or dye safety belts. f Do not allow safety belts to retract until they are completely dry after cleaning or this may cause damage to the belt.

Belt tensioner

Depending on the force of an impact, fastened front seat safety belts are tightened in an accident. The belt tensioners are triggered in: Front, side and rear impacts of sufficient severity. For the Cabriolet, in cases of vehicle rollover. Note The belt-tensioner system can be triggered only once; the system must be replaced afterward. If there is a fault in the belt-tensioner system, the airbag warning light lights up. Work may be performed on the belt-tensioner system only by an authorized Porsche dealer. Smoke is released when the belt tensioners are triggered. This does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
Safety Belt Warning System
An audio-visual warning system is interconnected with the drivers safety belt. Every time the ignition is turned on, the gong will sound for about 6 seconds to remind driver and passenger to buckle up. In addition, the gong will sound for approx. 90 seconds if vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph/24 km/h. The safety belt warning lights in the instrument panel and on-board computer will go off as soon as the driver has buckled up.

f Downward press button (arrow) and move belt deflector.

Airbag Systems

The airbags in combination with the safety belts make up a safety system which offers the driver and the passenger the greatest known protection from injuries in case of accident. Your vehicle is equipped with a weight sensing system for the front passenger's seat in accordance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. Even if your vehicle is equipped with airbags, the safety belts must be worn at all times, because the front airbag system is only deployed by frontal collisions with an impact of sufficient severity. Below the deployment threshold of the airbag system, and during types of collisions which do not cause the actuation of the system, the safety belts provide the primary protection to the occupants when correctly worn. Therefore, all persons within the vehicle must wear safety belts at all times (in many states, state law requires the use of safety belts). f Please see the chapter SAFETY BELTS on Page 41. The front airbags are located under the padded steering wheel panel on the drivers side and, on the passenger's side, in the dashboard. The side airbags for the front seats are installed on the side in the seat backrests. The head airbags are installed in the door linings.
Danger! To provide optimal occupant protection, airbags must inflate at very high speed. If you are not wearing your safety belt or are too close to the airbag when it is deployed, inflating airbags can result in serious personal injury or death. f Make sure there are no people, animals or objects between the driver or passenger and the area into which the airbag inflates. f No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate. f Sit back as far from the dashboard or steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control. f Always hold the steering wheel by the outer rim. Never rest your hands on the airbag panel. f Always fasten seat belts because triggering of the airbag system depends on the force and angle of impact. f Do not transport heavy objects on or in front of the passengers seat. These could impair the function of the airbag, the seat belts, and weight sensing. f Do not hang objects (e.g. jackets, coats, coat hangers) over the backrest.

f Always keep the lid of the door storage compartment closed. Objects must not protrude out of the door storage compartment. f No changes may be made to the wiring or components of the airbag system. f Do not add any additional coverings or stickers to the steering wheel or in the area of the passengers airbag, side airbags and head airbags. Doing so may adversely affect the functioning of the airbag system or cause harm to the occupants if the airbag system should deploy. Do not use protective seat covers. f Do not modify the seat coverings. Do not attach additional cushions, protective coverings, or pillows to the passenger's seat. Do not affix things to the passenger's seat or cover it with other materials. Do not cover the back of the backrest. Do not make changes to the passenger's seat and to the seat base frame. f Do not undertake any wiring for electrical accessory equipment in the vicinity of the airbag wiring harnesses. Doing so may disable the airbag system or cause inadvertent inflation. f If the warning light comes on, the airbag system should be repaired immediately by your authorized Porsche dealer. f Always keep feet in the footwell while driving. Do not put feet on the dashboard or the seat area. Do not lean against the inside of the door or outside the window while the vehicle is moving.
f Using accessories not approved by Porsche can cause the weight sensing system to be impaired. f Do not squeeze objects, such as the fire extinguisher, or first aid kit under the seat. f Only have seats removed and installed by an authorized Porsche dealer so that weight sensing components will not be damaged. f Give your passenger all of the information in this chapter. Note Airbag components (e.g. steering wheel, door lining, seats) may be disassembled only by an authorized Porsche dealer. When disposing of a used airbag unit, our safety instructions must be followed. These instructions can be obtained at any authorized Porsche dealer.
Airbags help to protect the head and upper body, while simultaneously damping the motion of the driver and passenger in the impact direction in the event of a frontal impact or side impact. In order to help provide protection in severe collisions which can cause death and serious injury, airbags must inflate extremely rapidly. Such high speed inflation has a negative but unavoidable side effect, which is that it can and does cause injuries, including facial and arm abrasions, bruising and broken bones. You can help minimize such injuries by always wearing your safety belts. There are many types of accidents in which airbags are not expected to deploy. These include accidents where the airbags whould provide no benefit, such as a rear impact against your vehicle. Other accidents where the airbags are designed not to deploy are those where the risk of injury from the airbag deployment could exeed any protective benefits, such as in low speed accidents or higher speed accidents where the vehicle decelerates over a longer time. Since airbag deployment does not occur in all accidents, this further emphasizes the need for you and your passengers to always wear safety belts. Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module. This module will record the use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver and front passenger when the airbags and/or belt tensioner work.

4) For the temperature range over --13 F (--25
If your vehicle is used frequently in stop-and-go traffic in cold weather, the engine will not always be properly warmed up. Condensation from products of combustion may accumulate in the oil. In this case, it is advisable to change the oil more frequently so that your engine once again has 100% efficient engine oil.

Viscosity

Like all liquids, engine oil is viscous when cold, and thin-bodied when warm. The viscosity of an oil is expressed by its SAE class. For cold viscosity (measured at temperatures below 32 F/0 C) the SAE class is given as a number and the letter W (as in winter), for hot viscosity (measured at 212 F/100 C) the SAE class is given only as a number. The viscosity of an oil is, therefore, always the same if it has the same number of an SAE class. Oils with two viscosities are called multigrade oils; oils with only one viscosity are termed singlegrade oils. Single-grade oils can not be used in your engine. The viscosity of the engine oil for your Porsche has to be chosen according to the ambient temperature given in the engine oil recommendation table.
Engine oil performance class
Engine oil is not only a lubricant, but also serves to keep the engine clean, to neutralize the dirt which penetrates into the engine through combustion and to protect the engine against corrosion. To perform these functions, the oil is provided with additives which have been specially developed for these functions. The efficiency of an oil is expressed, for example, by the API, ILSAC or ACEA classifications.

Brake Fluid Level

f Please see the chapter EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON YOUR VEHICLE on Page 204. f Use only new (unused) Original Porsche brake fluid. Warning! Brake fluid is hazardous to your health, and may be fatal if swallowed. Brake fluid also attacks paintwork. f Keep brake fluid out of childrens reach. f Take care while topping off brake fluid not to soil the luggage compartment or items of luggage.
Checking the brake fluid level
The reservoir for the hydraulic braking system is located in the luggage compartment. 1. Open and remove cover flap A. 2. Regularly check the brake-fluid level on the transparent expansion tank through the window B. The fluid level should always lie between the minimum and maximum marks.

Refueling

Fuel tank capacity is listed under Capacities. Porsche does not recommend the use of fuel additives. Fuel is highly flammable and harmful to health. f Please see the chapter CAPACITIES on Page 292.
leaded fuel into cars with catalytic converters. Unleaded fuels may not be available outside the continental U.S. and Canada. Therefore, we recommend you do not take your car to areas or countries where unleaded fuel may not be available.

Fuels containing ethanol

Do not use any fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol by volume. We recommend, however, to change to a different fuel or station if any of the following problems occur with your vehicle: Deterioration of driveability and performance. Substantially reduced fuel economy. Vapor lock and non-start problems, especially at high altitude or at high temperature. Engine malfunction or stalling.

Fuel Evaporation Control

Fuel tank venting
The evaporation chamber and the carbon canister prevent fuel from escaping to the atmosphere at extreme high outside temperatures, when driving abruptly around curves and when the car is parked at an incline or in any other nonlevel position.

Octane ratings

Octane rating indicates a fuels ability to resist detonation. Therefore, buying the correct octane gas is important to prevent engine damage. The RON octane rating is based on the research method. The CLC (U.S. Cost of Living Council octane rating) or AKI (antiknock index) octane rating usually displayed on U.S. fuel pumps is calculated as research octane number plus motor octane number, divided by 2, that is written as: RON+MON 2 or R+M 2
Vapor control system and storage
When the fuel tank is filled, vapors are collected in the evaporation chamber by a vent line leading the vapors to the carbon canister where they are stored as long as the engine does not run.
Danger! Portable fuel containers, full or partially empty, may leak causing an explosion, or result in fire in case of an accident. f Never carry additional fuel in portable containers in your vehicle.

Purge system

When the engine is running, the fuel vapors from the canister will be mixed with fresh air from the ambient air of the canister. This mixture will be directed to the intake air housing by the tank vent line, mixed with the intake air and burned during normal combustion.

Tires/Wheels

The original equipment tires and wheel rims on your Porsche comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. For your safety remember the following: Wheel rims and wheel bolts are matched to fit your Porsche. If you intend to use other than original equipment wheels, be sure that they conform to Porsche specifications for your model. Only tires with the same make and with the same specification code (e.g. N0, N1.) can be mounted. The use of wheel rims and wheel bolts that do not meet specifications of the original factory installed equipment will affect the safe operation of your vehicle. Before you plan on exchanging wheels, or snow tires already mounted on the wheel rims, consult your authorized Porsche dealer. Your dealer has the technical information necessary to advise you which wheel rims and wheel bolts are compatible with the original factory installations.
Danger! Risk of loss of control and serious personal injury or death. f If while driving, your vehicle experiences a sudden vibration or ride disturbance, and/or you suspect that possible damage to your tires or vehicle has occurred, you should immediately reduce your speed without excessive use of the brakes. f Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and inspect the tires. If you cannot determine the cause for the disturbance, have your vehicle towed to the nearest Porsche or tire dealer to have your vehicle or tire(s) inspected. f Continuing to operate the vehicle without correction could result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.

Example

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specific government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one Practical Tips, Emergency Service
and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction AA, A, B, C The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C and they represent the tires ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning! The traction grade assigned to this is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turned) traction, acceleration, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics. Temperature A, B, C The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tires resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperatures can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden

4. Start the engine. An attempted start using jumper cables should not last more than 15 seconds. Then allow a waiting period of at least one minute. f Note Before disconnecting the jumper cables, electrical loads such as the heated rear window and the heating fan blower should be switched on (the vehicles lights must not be switched on). This reduces voltage peaks which may occur when disconnecting the jumper cables. With the engine running, remove both jumper cables in reverse order.

The 911 Turbo concept | Efficiency
Were those moments when you exercised moderation always the crucial ones? The efficiency of the 911 Turbo model concept.
According to the definition, efficiency is the ratio of work input to work output. If something is highly efficient, it keeps work input low, whilst maximising work output. A principle that unreservedly applies to any 911 Turbo. But not necessarily to the work that went into developing it.
To understand the evolution of the 911 Turbo, you have to go back to 1974. To France, and the Paris Motor Show. To the first turbocharged 911. The wrong car at the wrong time. At least thats what some journalists, doubters and waverers thought. Their reservations were entirely understandable. After all, times were hard and oil was in short supply. Then Porsche launched a car that anticipated the concept of the super sportscar, with its power output of 260 hp, maximum torque of 343 Nm and 5.5-second sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph).
What on earth was going on at Zuffenhausen? Was it a lack of understanding of the needs of the market? A blinkered desire for power? Perhaps even over-confidence and a lack of awareness? Certainly the desire for power could not be denied. But it had a goal. And the way to that goal followed a unique path. A glance at the data sheet was enough. Alongside the fabled engine output, torque, acceleration and top
speed figures were other, no less impressive figures. A 3-litre displacement and six cylinders in a boxer configuration were all that the first 911 Turbo needed to turn the sportscar world (where the motto was size equals power) upside down. In other words, the car on show on the stand in Paris wasnt just a car bursting with power. Here was an idea, an opportunity.
To get more from less. To optimise the ratio of work input to work output. In short, efficiency demands performance. That was the principle. And it still stands to this day.
harmonious build-up of power and making the 911 Turbo a much more composed and thereby more fuel-efficient vehicle. All-wheel drive was introduced for the first time, increasing both traction and safety. A major step towards greater efficiency was achieved in 2000 with the launch of the 911 Turbo based on the Type 996. This saw the use of technologies that are also to be found on the latest 911 Turbo generation. VarioCam Plus reduced fuel consumption drastically, whilst the extending rear wing, through its ability to change position, complemented the already exemplary aero The car was made technically possible by an invention from 1905. The Swiss engineer, Dr. Bchi, utilised the energy of the flow of exhaust gases to increase the efficiency of combustion engines. You dont need to be an engineer to understand the practical benefits of this. Turbocharging means a tremendous gain in power for comparatively small engine displacements. The advantage of small-displacement engines is particularly felt in the lower and middle load ranges in other words, during everyday driving on the road. In these conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures are significantly lower than those for larger engines. Another advantage is the compact engine size which reduces weight. The engine takes up less space and keeps the overall vehicle weight down. In short, agility and dynamic performance are increased and fuel consumption is decreased. Over the years, alongside con inual t increases in power output, the 911 Turbo has seen the introduction of a wide variety of technologies to improve handling and dynamic performance as well as fuel consumption and efficiency. The twin-turbo engine introduced in 1995 performed excellently, delivering a significantly more Of course, in 1974, the technology was still in its infancy. The idea needed to mature, but the fact remained that it worked. What started out as a scheduled produc tion run of 400 vehicles has be come a lifetimes work. Examples from 1977 include above all the intercooler, which improved turbocharger efficiency, and the cross-drilled brake discs, which increased braking perormance and reduced f unsprung masses. In 1990, the 911 Turbo based on the Type 964 was the first to be equipped with a regulated catalytic converter as standard. In 2006, the launch of the 911 Turbo based on the Type 997 revealed a revolution in turbocharging, with the advent of Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). More power. More torque. Less fuel. Less CO2. Porsche was the first car manufacturer that was able to use this technology in standard-production petrol engines. And so far is the only one to do so. dynamic performance.

The styling is dynamic without being fussy. Sporty without being ostentatious. In short, no gimmicks, no showiness, no doubts. The side air-intake grilles in the front apron have titaniumcoloured painted slats. To the right or left respectively of the grilles are the daytime running lights, positioned low down. Like the indicators, they utilise Glancing over the sides of the 911 Turbo models, you will notice the linear, no-frills twin-spoke design of the 911 Turbo II wheels. LED technology to provide increased illumination and give a characteristic look. Optional dynamic cornering lights are an additional safety feature (standard on 911 Turbo S models).
Elements of the spokes and wheel rim have a high-sheen finish. The wheels are forged and the sophisticated technology facilitates a lightweight, yet highly rigid design. On the 911 Turbo S models, the forged aluminium wheels in the RS Spyder design with a central locking device provide a good glimpse of the yellow brake calipers of the standard Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB, page 68). The rear features LED taillights that extend right round to the wings where they taper to a point. The LED brake lights respond extremely quickly, thereby increasing active safety. In other words, the traffic behind is warned sooner. (37 mph). The drag coefficient The two tailpipes are positioned neatly in the recesses of the

homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture and consequently efficient combustion. In the direct injection system, the EMS SDI 3.1 engine management system adjusts the injection timing individually for each
cylinder and the injection quantity for each cylinder bank. This optimises both the combustion curve and fuel consumption. Dual injection is implemented at engine speeds of up to 3,200 rpm and triple injection

Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG).
The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models are straightforward, almost matter-of-fact, when it comes to handling power. VTG has contributed enormously to this. The variable turbine geometry of the twin water-cooled exhaust gas turbochargers goes a long way to resolving the conflict of aims of normal turbochargers. With this technology, the gas flow from the engine is channelled onto the turbines via electronically adjustable guide vanes. By changing the vane angle, the system can

Instead of hot compressed air entering the combustion chambers, we now have cooler air generating more power and torque. As a consequence, there is a major improvement in engine efficiency and therefore lower fuel consumption even under heavy loads and at high revs. As we said, sometimes you just have to question established ideas.

Servicing.

The 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models are designed for a long life. A self-adjusting belt drives the generator, power-steering pump and air-conditioning compressor. Valve clearances are adjusted hydraulically, thus avoiding the need for any adjustment work. The camshafts are driven by timing chains that require no maintenance and the ignition system, with the exception of the spark plugs, is also mainte-
nance-free. The cars come with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty. The long service intervals (see separate price list) keep costs and labour times down and save resources, since fewer service products and consumable parts are used.
Of course, the amount of air that enters the engine under expansion is less than it would be under compression. To compensate for this, weve simply increased the boost pressure. The resulting increase in temperature again through compression is immediately offset by the uprated intercoolers.
from stainless steel. Its catalytic converters are extremely heatresistant, yet quick to reach temperature and thus optimum performance when the engine is started from cold. Advanced exhaust gas technology ensures compliance with stringent emissions standards, e.g. Euro 5 in EU markets, LEV II/LEV in the USA.
Performance | Transmission
Calm. Storm. Which way round is up to you. Transmission.
The principle is simple: the transmission ensures that the extraordinary engine power isnt manifested as a blaze of noise and smoke. Unless thats what you really want. Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Derived from motorsport, PDK, which is standard for 911 Turbo S models and optional for 911 Turbo models, achieves one thing above all else: it provides the perfect balance between uncompromisingly dynamic performance PDK, with both a manual and an automatic mode, enables extremely fast gear changes with no interruption in the power flow. For improved acceleration and and exceptional levels of comfort. Its purely about point of view. The drivers especially.

As a function of steering angle and steering speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, PTV is able to improve steering response and
steering precision significantly by specific braking of the right or left rear wheel.
In simple terms, this means that when the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, excess drive force, which varies depending on the braking force applied to the inside rear wheel, can be distributed to the outside rear wheel, and a rotational pulse (yaw movement) is generated around the vehicles vertical axis. This assists the steering input and results in a more assured steering manoeuvre. At low and medium vehicle speeds, the system significantly increases agility and steering precision, whilst at high speeds, and in combination with the mechanical limited-slip differential, it additionally ensures greater driving stability.
The system, combined with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM), also puts its stabilising effect to good use on road surfaces with varying levels of grip and on snow and ice. As PTV increases the cars dynamic performance, the system remains active when driving on the racetrack, even if PSM has been deactivated. Where efficien y is concerned, c this enhanced performance and stability are achieved without the need for any additional components, apart from the mechanical limited-slip rear differential. In other words, a more enjoyable drive with no additional weight.

Performance | Chassis

Whats the advantage of being well-balanced? Not letting the smallest thing bother you. Chassis.
Perhaps the most efficient way of overcoming everyday obstacles is to rely on ones own experience. No one knows that better than our own chassis engineers.
The independent front suspension combines McPherson-type struts with longitudinal and transverse links. Each front wheel is precisely located, ensuring excellent handling and directional stability. Proven in motorsport, the rear axle assembly features multi-link LSA (Lightweight, Stable, Agile) subframe-based suspension. Its lightweight construction offers excellent dynamic properties. The axle kinematics improves stability under acceleration by reducing

Quickening pulses whilst simultaneously creating calm. Yet another apparent contradiction typical of the performance of the 911 Turbo concept. Headlights.
The Bi-Xenon headlight system is fitted as standard. The brightness of the lights is approximately twice as great as that of conventional halogen lights. Light output is improved and the road illu minated more uniformly on both dipped and main beam, helping to minimise driver fatigue. Also included is dynamic range control to prevent hazardous dazzling of oncoming vehicles due to undulations in the road or the loading of the car. A headlight cleaning function is also incorporated.
Dynamic cornering lights (standard on 911 Turbo S models, optional for 911 Turbo models) offer particularly effective illumination of the road ahead, especially through bends. Sensors continuously monitor the speed, lateral acceleration and steering lock and, from these variables, calculate the course of the bend. This determines the angle of illumination for the dipped beam lights, up to a maximum of 15 degrees. On twisting roads, this means the course of the road and obstacles can be seen earlier by the driver.

Lighting concept.

The lighting concept also benefits from the latest technology, in the form of high-performance LEDs for the horizontal front indicators and also for the separate daytime running lights, the taillights and the third brake light in the rear wing.
In addition to the distinctive look that makes the car very recog nisable, the lighting also provides high illuminating power. The brake lights also respond very quickly, meaning that following traffic is alerted sooner. Plus the lighting saves energy, is environmentally sound and has a longer service life in comparison to conventional bulbs.
When the vehicle is opened or closed using the key remote, the Welcome Home lighting function automatically switches on the LED daytime running lights. Two additional lights inside each door ensure you see and are seen better when getting into and out of the car.

Dynamic cornering lights

Brakes.
On a 911 Turbo, there is one thing above all else that both the accelerator and brake pedals deliver when you press them and thats excitement. The standard braking system of the 911 Turbo models features six-piston fixed calipers at the front and four-piston fixed calipers at the rear.
The red-painted calipers have a monobloc (one-piece) aluminium construction offering greater stability, better bite characteristics under heavy braking and a further reduction in unsprung weight. The brakes are quick to apply and release, whilst the pedal travel is short and the bite point precise and consistent. The front and rear discs have a generous diameter of 350 mm. All four discs are cross-drilled for better performance in the wet. The distinctive drill-hole pattern enables a faster response by allowing rapid dispersal of the water vapour generated under braking. The discs are also internally vented for better heat dispersal. The result: excellent stability in all conditions. Cooling air is directed onto the brakes to further improve performance. A powerful 9-inch tandem brake booster unit enables easier pedal inputs. Braking distances are further reduced with the aid of two f unctions in the standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM):
Standard front brake (911 Turbo)
The new 911 Turbo S models come equipped with the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB, see following pages) as standard.
electronic brake prefill and brake assist (page 57).
The ceramic discs have a dia meter of 380 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear. The discs are made from a specially treated carbon-fibre compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at 1,700 C. The resulting material is not only much harder than metal, it is also more resistant to heat. Even at high temperatures, the thermal resistance of the PCCB disc ensures excellent dimensional stability. The ceramic

The new 911 Turbo S models are equipped as standard with a braking system that has already proved it can withstand even the toughest racing conditions, such as those encountered in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. That system is the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). PCCB is available as an option for 911 Turbo models.
piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers at the front, with fourpiston units at the rear. The resulting brake forces are both extremely high and remarkably consistent. The pedal response is fast and precise with only moderate input required. PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Excellent fade resistance ensures greater balance when slowing from racetrack speeds. The key advantage of PCCB is the total weight saving of approximately 50% over metal discs with similar construction and dimensions. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in both the unsprung and rotating masses. This, of course, produces additional benefits in terms of comfort Please note that circuit racing, trackday use and other forms of performance driving can signi ficantly reduce the service life of even the most durable pads and and road-holding on uneven road surfaces as well as general handling and agility. discs. As with conventional highperformance braking systems, we recommend that all brake components be professionally inspected and replaced where necessary after every track event.

is minimal even on the most poorly surfaced roads, ensuring better handling and greater active safety. Occupants are protected by an automatically deploying roll-over system if the vehicle were to
overturn. Two spring-loaded rollover bars are neatly incorporated behind each of the rear seats. The roll-over sensor part of the airbag control unit continuously monitors the cars pitch and roll, contact with the road, as well as lateral and longitudinal forces.
If the car were to overturn, the top-padded bars would be deployed instantly. Of course, the 911 Turbo Cabriolets also come as standard with the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).
Responsibility | Environment
Whats urgently expected of todays management teams? Responsibility. Environment.
Think twice about every additional ounce. Get more power out of every drop of fuel. Examine every path to a solution. Why? Well, because its our duty. And because our efforts to achieve greater efficiency will also give us the engineering lead.
In an era of intensifying debate about CO2 emissions, every automotive manufacturer is being asked the question, What is your answer to the issue of fuel consumption? Our answer has long been the same: maximum efficiency. Porsche has been reducing the CO2 emissions of its vehicles by an average of around 1.7%* every year for the past 15 years. In relation to engine power, Porsche is already among those manufacturers achieving the lowest CO2 emissions. This has been achieved
through efficient drive concepts (e.g. DFI), lightweight construction, optimised aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.

Exhaust emission control.
The 911 Turbo and the 911 Turbo S models comply with stringent emissions standards, including Euro 5 in Europe and LEV II/LEV in the USA. Porsche vehicles demonstrate that even highperformance sportscars can achieve moderate emission values in their respective category. This makes them not just extremely exciting sportscars, but very clean ones too.
This high level of environmental responsibility is demonstrated by our approach to environmental management at the Porsche development centre in Weissach. Here, all technological developments are carried out with environmental protection in mind. The objective

Personality | Personalisation
Why its worth letting your imagination run free. Personalisation.
The success story of the 911 Turbo is always a very personal one. Because power also means providing plenty of scope for individual interpretation. Colours.
Choice of colour is always an expression of personal character. So its good that our wide variety of colour options does this prin iple justice. c
In total, you can choose from four solid and eight metallic colours, four special paint finishes and four hood colours. Plus for the interior, theres a choice of nine colours, three two-tone combi nations and, exclusively for 911 Turbo S models, two additional
