The roll-over sensor continuously
monitors changes in body tilt,
longitudinal and lateral accelera-
tion and contact with the road
surface. In an emergency, it
deploys the roll-over bars within a
fraction of a second. Of course,
all of the 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models are also equipped with the
Porsche Side Impact Protection
(POSIP) as standard.
The 911Targa 4 models offer
excellent body rigidity - despite
the large glass area.The roof
bars, with optimised structure and
strength, limit torsion to a
minimum on uneven road sur-
faces. Additional stability is
provided by a cross-member inte-
grated between the glass roof
and the rear screen. The glass
roof is made of laminated safety
glass, the opening rear window of
single pane safety glass.
Naturally, all 911 Carrera Cabriolet
models and 911Targa 4 models
are fitted with the Porsche Side
Impact Protection System (POSIP)
as standard.
For open-top sports driving, even
in changeable weather conditions,
nothing stands in the way of
relaxed driving pleasure. Another
distinct advantage of passive
safety.
