The 911 | Chassis
This lightweight construction
keeps the vehicle gross weight
and the weigh t of the unsprung
mas ses low. The chassis allows
for safe maneuvering, even at high
speeds. The pitching of the body
when pull ing away and braking is
minimal, as is body roll in corners.
Rolling noises and vibrations
are also kept to a minimum.
Steering.
The power steering is sensitive
and precise, providing excellent
contact with the road and
minimal
steering effort by
sports-car standards. It offers
steering precision comparable
with a
race car’s—even on
those relaxing drives.
A special feature is the variable-
steering ratio. Around the straight-
ahead position, such as during
highway drivi ng, the ratio is less
direct. The risk of losing control
of the wheel at high speed is
reduced, with no loss of agility
or feedback .
When the steering wheel is
turn ed harde r, the ratio becomes
more direct, allowing for
easier corner
ing and parking.
The car has a turning circle
of just 35.8 feet (11 m).
