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. The 911 range. Other manufacturers can are born out of progressive engineering above all else. [. . . ] The closed-type design of these brake calipers makes them particularly stiff. All models have cross-drilled brake discs ensuring optimum braking in the wet. The discs ance with braking force support, a 9-inch tandem brake force amplifier is used on the all-wheel drive models. · 86 · · 87 · The 911 | Safety Please note that circuit racing, trackday use and other forms of performance driving can significantly reduce the service life of even the most durable brake pads and discs. As with conventional high-performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake components be professionally inspected and replaced where necessary after every track event. 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet The use of six-piston aluminium The key advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the brake disc, which is approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The consequence of this is better road holding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling. Day-to-day practicality. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). monobloc brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear ensures extremely high brake forces which, crucially, are exceptionally consistent. The pedal response is fast and precise On request, we can provide you with a brake system that has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motor racing ­ a brake system fitted in the cars competing in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The PCCB ceramic brake discs for the 911 have a diameter of 350 mm front and rear ­ for formidable braking performance. The brake discs are formed from a specially treated carbon-fibre compound that is silicated in a high-vacuum process at approximately 1, 700 °C. Not only are the resulting braking discs much · 88 · harder than standard discs, they are more resistant to heat. with only moderate input required. All the necessary ingredients are PCCB is characterised by its low thermal expansion, which prevents deformation under heavy braking. Furthermore, the ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to corrosion and offer more favourable noise-damping properties. there for a short braking distance, even in the toughest conditions. Moreover, safety under braking at high speeds is increased thanks to the excellent fade resistance of PCCB. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) · 89 · The 911 | Safety Passive safety: engineered design. A crucial quality of any boxer: the ability to take a punch. The 911 complies with all statutory requirements worldwide in respect of occupant safety, well in excess of the legal limits in terms of front, offset, side and rear impact protection. The reinforced bodyshell structure contains a highly resilient passenger cell which offers high levels of protection in the event of an impact. A patented system of longitudinal and transverse members (1) is used at the front. In the event of an accident, three separate load paths absorb energy, disperse the force of impact and minimise deformation of the passenger cell. In addition, the front benefits from an extremely rigid bulkhead cross member (2) made of ultra highstrength steel. This is designed to absorb impact forces from the longitudinal members to reduce deformation of the footwell and provide improved protection for the feet and legs. In a minor collision, a system of easily replaceable impact absorbers (3) prevents costly damage to the underlying bodyshell. Also contributing to the overall rigidity of the car are the reinforced doors (4). The forces exerted in a frontal collision are additionally transmitted along a higher load path (5). For the protection of its occupants, it has therefore been possible to improve the deformation characteristics of the passenger cell even further.
