 Style Overview
The 2009 Porsche 911 comes in both coupe and convertible ("Cabriolet") body styles. Each comes in four basic trim levels: the rear-wheel-drive Carrera, the more powerful Carrera S, the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and the Carrera 4S. All 911 Carrera trims come standard with 18-inch wheels, bi-xenon headlights, full power accessories, cruise control, leather seating, power reclining front seats (with manual fore-aft and height adjustment), split-folding rear seats, automatic climate control, the touchscreen display and a nine-speaker audio system with a CD/DVD/MP3 player.The S trims add a more powerful engine, 19-inch wheels, a sport suspension with active damping on coupes (optional on convertibles), bigger brakes, a sport steering wheel and unique exterior and interior trim. Many of the standard features on the S models are optional on the base Carreras. In addition, all cabriolets feature a fully automated soft top with a heated glass rear window and wind deflector. Porsche offers a dizzying array of expensive options including different wheel designs, custom interior color schemes, different seats, different types of leather and a choice of several wood, aluminum and carbon-fiber accents. Notable options include race-bred ceramic disc brake rotors, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, a hard-drive-based navigation system, voice activation control for the navigation and PCM, parking sensors, satellite radio, a universal audio interface that provides iPod, USB and auxiliary jacks, and an upgraded Bose audio system with subwoofer. A Sport Chrono package allows the driver to record lap times and other car data, and, when combined with PDK, provides a button for activating launch control.
