Inner strength works

below the surface.

In the 911, in the

form of efficient

engines and Porsche

Doppelkupplung (PDK).

And, of course, in the form

of Porsche Communication

Management (PCM).

To find out exactly what else

inner strength means, you’d

be better off discovering it

for yourself.

By getting in.

The 911 | Comfort

The 911 is powerful, fast and efficient.

These aren’t the only reasons why you can sit back and relax.

Comfort is something that can’t be

measured. Rather, it’s a subj ective

matter. Nevertheless, it pays to

develop a univ ersal benchmark

in terms of material s ele ction,

ope rating logic and ergonomics.

This is no simple task when

faced with an uncompromising

sports car—but it i s possible.

And this is whe re ergonomics

are a fundamental prerequisite.

The result is an inge nious interior

that pu ts the driver first, with

the perfect blend of day-to-day

pra cticality and a high degree

of comfort.

The front center console is

finished predominantly in

traditiona l bla ck. It contains

Porsche Communication

Management (PCM) fitted as

standard, the climate control

panel, the switch panel and

a storage compartment.

For clarity, the number of buttons

has been deliberately kept to

a minimum, and the one-t ouch

switches wit h clearly defined

pressure points are particularly

easy and convenient to use. An

ev en more convenient feature,

made possible by the optional

voice-control system, is the ability

to control PCM without having to

t ake your hands off the wheel.

If you opt for Porsche

Doppel kupplung ( PDK), the

ergo nomically desi gned three-

spoke sport steering wheel is

equipped with additional switches.

A gear selector specifically

for PDK is also included.

For maximum driving comfort,

ev en when the weather is

very hot, you can select the

optional se at ventilation.

Porsche Communication Management (PCM)

PCM, like the 911, offers more power and control.

Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

The 911 model comes equipped

with PCM as st andard. As a

central information and

communicat ion system, it is

versatil e and yet surpris ingly

easy to operate.

The main fe ature is the 6.5-inch

tou chscreen for intuitive control.

Natu rally, you can also choose

to operate PCM using t he button

cont rols. With a maximum of five

list items per page, the screen

display is very clearly presented.

A useful he lp functio n is disp layed

at t he foot of the screen.

Navigation module.

The option al GPS navi gation

system has a hard d rive con-

tainin g map data f or most

areas, allowin g for fast rou te

calculations wi th a choice

of three alternate routes.

A touchscreen enables rapi d

desti natio n input and instant

viewing of traffic information

and points of interest (POIs) by

simply allowing yo u to touch

the symbols on the map. Route

diversions can therefore be

incorporated quickly and easily

into the current route guidance.

When viewing a map, it is

possible to select between a

3-D perspective and a 2-D display.

At highway exits, graphical turn

indications are displayed for

better orientation. In split- screen

mode, you can choose to displ ay

not only the current map overview,

but also a list of icons th at

represent dynamic route guidan ce.

Electronic logbook.

The optional electronic logbook

enables automatic recording

of mileage, route dist ance,

time an d date, starting point

and destinat ion as part of

ev ery journey. O nce you have

downloaded the logbooks from

PCM via Bluetooth

Almost all of the functions of

a nd the voice-control system

recognizes commands or

sequences o f numb ers, whoever

Surround Sound system.

The optional Bose

Surro und

Sound system was specially

developed for the 911 and is,

therefore, perfectly tuned to the

car’s specific interior acoustics.

A total of 13 loudspeak ers

(12 in the Cabriolet and

911 Targa 4 models), in cluding

an active subwoofer and

central speaker, and a seve n-

channel digital amplifier with

a rated output of 385 watts,

com bin e to produce a trul y

memorable sound experience.

During audio playback from au dio

or vide o DVDs, the system is able

to make full use of the impressive

sound spectrum of 5.1 digital

recordings. With music in the 5.1

format, the so und has already

been recorded in a multichannel

format and is faithfully re produced

ex actly as the origi nal.

Five dedicated audio ch annels

(front left, front right, center,

surround left, surround right)

deliver a sound that is as authentic

as it is natural. The dig ital

5.1 surround s ound is balanced,

lifelike a nd crystal clear. A 360-

degree sound experience tha t

is as close to a live performance

as you could imagine.

Of course, yo u can still play

traditional music sources such

as CDs, either in stereo or in

one of the surround modes

The algorithm of

The Surr oundStage

signa l

processing circuitry developed

by Bose

assigns each individual

audio channel, whether sourced

from a DVD or generated by

Centerpoint

®

, to a selected

com binati on of loudspeake rs

and is, therefore, able to

deliver an o ptimally balan ced

surround-sound experience

to all seat positions.

To complement th ese features,

the Bose

®

Surro und Sound

system offers a comprehensive

selection of equalizer presets for

cu stomized sound. The dynamic

loudness function increases

bass

leve ls as you decrease the

volume, thereby compensating

for the decreasing sensitivity

of the human ear at these

frequencies. Moreover, the

AudioPilot

Technology uses a microphone

to continuously meas ure

the ambient noise inside the

vehicle a nd adapts music

playback automatically so that a
