This means that there is only one join on each side, making the upper part of the rear end appear smoother. At the same time, the rear spoiler has been newly designed with 25 % greater air flow area, so offering much-improved aerodynamic properties. Regulates driving speed based on high-definition navigation data, radar, and video sensor technology in order to deliver typical Porsche driving feel, increased efficiency, and improved comfort. Driving speed is predictively adapted to speed restrictions and road topography (elevation changes, corners). At the same time, Porsche InnoDrive controls acceleration, deceleration, and gear selection (including coasting).

The system adapts the speed of your 911 depending on the distance to vehicle in front of you. If you approach another vehicle that is travelling slower than your selected cruising speed, the system slows the engine or gently applies the brakes. As soon as the road ahead clears, your 911 will accelerate back up to the cruising speed originally set. Thanks to high-precision navigation data, Porsche InnoDrive identifies speed limits and road gradients such as slopes or curve radii on your route, before you reach them. For intelligent driving and a clear efficiency advantage.

The shift throws on the gearshift paddles are crisp and short. Alternatively, you can also change gears directly with the PDK gear selector – in the new 911 GT3 it is based on a manual lever. No matter how you shift, with seven performance-oriented gears there's plenty of racing feel. The Multifunction Sport Steering Wheel allows for the direct, comfortable use of audio, telephone and navigation functions. Gearshift paddles ensure short shift throws and fast, precise gear changes. On the GT Sport Steering Wheel, additional thumb rests and a top center marking show its 911 motorsport genes.

The technology: based on the sporty 911 Targa 4 GTS
The 911 underwent its first major change in 1993, with the interplay of convex and concave lines in the 993. The 996, the first Porsche to switch from air to water-cooling for the engine, featured new, impactful headlights and different dimensions. The very soft look of the 996 was then tightened a little in 2004 with the arrival of the 997. In the 991, this analysis of its predecessors resulted in an extended wheelbase, a wider track and a lower roof line. The design of the headlights, rear lights, front mask and rear window was then based on these altered proportions. The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), with brake discs that are around 50% lighter than cast-iron discs of a similar design and size, is committed to lightweight construction and motorsport.

The centrally located third brake light has also been integrated in the intake louvres. Since this is hidden when the rear spoiler is extended, there is a second brake light in the spoiler itself. With the exception of the front and rear sections, the entire outer skin is now made from aluminium. Porsche Design has remained true to the overall appearance of the Chronograph I – from the bilingual date display to the original red second hand. It is another reminder of the cockpit of the 911 from that time.
The changes to the original design all serve to bring it visually up-to-date and to emphasise the connection to the limited-edition Porsche. The current Porsche Design logo makes a modern statement. The rehaut features a tachymeter scale, which is a reference to measuring speed in races. The pointed shape of the minute hand makes it easier to read, while the case and strap with folding clasp and integrated fine adjustment are made of high-performance titanium. The multifunction Sports steering wheel allows for the direct, comfortable use of audio, telephone and navigation functions.
The front hood is made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), previously a privilege of the 911 RS models. The rear wing is also made of Carbon Fiber, as is the roof on request. The 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 with Touring Package use six individual valves instead of a central throttle valve.
A new feature is the selectable track screen which displays the relevant driving data for the racetrack upon request, e.g. tire pressure, g-force, stopwatch, water temperature as well as oil temperature and oil pressure. So you have all information directly in front of you and can fully concentrate on the racetrack. In conjunction with the 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission (also with the PDK gear selector with the manual gate), the track screen also displays a shift assistant. Ride height, camber and the stiffness of the anti-roll bars can be individually adjusted on both axles. Stiffer springs, together with the helper springs typical of motorsport, are used both front and rear.

For example, the lateral lines, the design of the fastback, the shape of the side windows, the free-standing front wings with the flat front bonnet in between – these are some core features of its design. The continuity of the 911 design is unique in automotive history. No other vehicle has maintained its uniqueness for anywhere near as long. In essence, 911 Design isn’t just a repair shop—it’s a high-end Porsche Auto Repair shop that provides both quality Porsche repair services and customer service. Our goal is to provide you, our client, with a unique auto repair experience that encompasses clarity and convenience.

Numerous details such as the seat belts, accent stripes on the seat centers, deviated stitching and embroidered "911" logo on the headrests are available with a choice between Slate Gray or Lizard Green as accent colors. In the area of digitisation, the 911 takes the next step into the future with permanent connectivity, as well as new functions and services. The standard PCM features include online navigation based on swarm data as well as Porsche Connect Plus. The watch is powered by the COSC-certified Porsche Design movement 01.240, which has a flyback mechanism that allows stopping, zeroing and starting of successive time intervals in a single action.
