The 911 Coupé models, the 911 Cabriolet models and the 911 Targa 4 models ­ the result of our engineers' confidence that they can excel themselves. Over forty-five years in the making. The 911. We don't believe in fairy tales like the perfect sportscar. Otherwise, we would have given up work over 45 years ago. [. . . ] We were also the first manufacturer to equip our sportscars with full-size airbags for the driver and passenger as standard. No wonder, then, that the 911 is among the safest sportscars in the world. permits easier overtaking and evasive manoeuvres. The braking power of the Its effective aerodynamics increase downward force to provide excellent traction and ensure that the car remains stable on the road. 911 model range is simply outstanding. The high-performance Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB, p. 88) is offered as an option for the entire model range. · 82 · · 83 · The 911 | Safety Sensors continuously monitor the speed, lateral acceleration and steering lock and, from these variables, calculate the course Dynamic cornering lights Lighting concept. The front light units incorporate the direction indicators, the LED daytime running lights and position lights, which provide outstanding visibility and create an imposing look. more quickly to driver input, so that following traffic is alerted earlier. They are energy efficient, eco-friendly and have a longer service life than conventional bulbs ­ as well as an unmistakable design, day or night. To guide you in and out of the car, of the bend. This determines the angle of the dynamic cornering lights, with dipped beams able to swivel towards the inside of the bend up to a limit of 15 degrees. The road ahead is therefore illuminated much more effectively. Active safety: headlights. No shade. LEDs are also used for the direction indicators, the taillights and brake lights, the additional brake light in the rear spoiler, and reflector lamps and entry lamps are located on the inside of the doors. All 911 models come equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic range control. The resulting brightness is around twice that of conventional halogen lamps. With dipped or main beam, the lights are stronger and more uniform, helping to minimise driver fatigue. A headlight cleaning system (SRA) is built-in. Also available as an option are the dynamic cornering lights, offering particularly effective illumination of the road. the rear fog light. These provide better illumination and respond · 84 · · 85 · The 911 | Safety 911 Carrera 4 Standard brake system 911 Carrera/911 Targa 4 Standard brake system 911 Carrera S/911 Targa 4S rear brake discs have a diameter are internally vented for rapid heat dispersal. Other features include a powerful Active safety: standard braking system. Positive feature: negative acceleration. of 330 mm for outstanding braking performance. The S models have four-piston aluminium monobloc calipers that are larger, reinforced and have a 10-inch brake booster for reducing pedal effort in the rear-drive models and integral air spoilers for enhanced air flow in the brake cooling ducts. For even better braking perform- Porsche brakes are renowned for their stopping power, setting the standards for deceleration and stability. They are designed to cope with extreme forces such as those experienced during hard braking. Perfect for the 911. The brake calipers have a monobloc aluminium construction. This makes them tough but light and enables a rapid response and release of the brake. The pedal travel is short and easy to modulate. In models with the 3. 6-litre engine, black anodised four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers are used on the front and rear axles. The closed-type design of these brake calipers makes them particularly stiff. [. . . ] The figure given includes 68 kg for the driver and 7 kg for luggage. ** Data determined for standard specification and in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in accordance with the Euro 5 (715/2007/EG and 692/2008/EG) measurement method. The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. [. . . ]
