The new 911 offers a combination of assistance systems as standard. These make driving in everyday traffic safer and more comfortable. The standard ParkAssist, which features distance sensors front and rear as well as a reversing camera, supports the driver with visual and acoustic warnings. The camera-assisted warning and brake assist system considerably reduce the risk of collision with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Braking performed by the driver is reinforced up to full braking if necessary. There is then a braking jolt in the second phase if there is a higher level of danger. A braking operation initiated by the driver is reinforced up to full braking if necessary. If the driver does not react, automatic emergency braking activates to mitigate the consequences of a collision.
In the 911 for the first time: Porsche InnoDrive and Smartlift
The new 911 Targa 4 models see the inclusion of Porsche InnoDrive in the list of 911 options. Porsche InnoDrive extends the functions of the adaptive cruise control system by predictively optimising the driving speed for up to three kilometres in advance. Using the navigation data, it calculates the optimum acceleration and deceleration values for the next three kilometres, and activates them via the engine, eight-speed PDK and braking system. The electronic co-pilot automatically takes into account corners and gradients, as well as speed limits if wished. The driver has the possibility of setting the maximum speed at any time. The system detects the current traffic situation using radar and video sensors and adapts control accordingly. The system even recognises roundabouts. Like with the conventional adaptive cruise control system, the radar and video sensors also monitor the distance to the traffic ahead and continuously adjust this distance accordingly. Another feature of Porsche InnoDrive is Traffic Jam Assist. At speeds up to around 60 km/h, the system uses gentle steering inputs to keep the vehicle in the middle of its lane, controls the distance to the vehicles in front and also follows the vehicles in the queue ahead within the system limitations. For this, Traffic Jam Assist bases its control function on lane markings and other vehicles on the road.
The new optional Smartlift function allows the front end to be lifted automatically at corresponding locations where the vehicle is driven regularly. With the electrohydraulic system on the front axle, the ground clearance at the front apron can be increased by around 40 mm. The system saves the GPS coordinates of the car's current position at the push of a button. If the driver approaches this position from the same direction again, the front of the car will lift up automatically.
Leather package 930 in the style of the first 911 Turbo
The 930 leather package evokes the first Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 930) and is now available as an option on the new 911 Targa model. Designed by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur together with the design experts from the Development Centre in Weissach, the two-tone interior embodies the stylish confidence of the 911 Targa. The leather package is characterised by the perfectly matched interplay of colours, materials and individual enhancements and includes quilted seat centre panels at the front and rear, quilted door panels, as well as other extensive leather trims from the portfolio of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
The two-tone interior is available in Bordeaux Red/Crayon, Black/Slate Grey, Slate Grey/Iceland Green as well as Graphite Blue/Mojave Beige. The new colour distribution emphasises the 2+2 single seats with the numerous decorative seams, not to mention the steering wheel's cross stitching, coming in the respective contrasting colour, ensuring an innovative and coordinated overall concept. Other carefully designed details include the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur embossing on the cover of the stowage compartment in the centre console, the embossed Porsche Crest on the head restraints, as well as the Race-Tex seat belt outlet trims in the Coupé models.
Sound systems that satisfy every wish
In addition to the standard Sound Package Plus, sound systems from BOSE® and Burmester® are also offered on the 911 Targa models. With 12 speakers and a total output of 570 watts, the optional BOSE® Surround Sound System offers an extremely balanced and true sound experience. The top system remains the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System, which also features 12 speakers but which boasts a total output of 855 watts.
Apps and services from Connect Plus
The new 911 features 100 per cent connectivity. The wide range of connectivity options are part of the Porsche Connect Plus infotainment package, which is included as part of both Targa models' standard equipment. Using the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system, this allows the driver to access Amazon Music, Smart Home functions from the service provider Nest, and Radio Plus, an intelligent combination of conventional reception and web radio. Thanks to the integrated LTE-capable SIM card, the new 911 is permanently online. This function is also included as standard equipment. Also standard is the Porsche Connect app with simplified navigation for the central Connect functions.
