Vehicle stability system

Weight is calculated in accordance with the relevant EC Directives and is valid for vehicles with standard specification only. Optional equipment increases this figure. The figure given includes 68 kg for the driver and 7 kg for luggage. With SPORT PLUS button activated. Data determined in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in accordance with the Euro 6 (715/2007/EC, 195/2013/EC and ECE-R 101.01) measurement method. The figures do not refer to an individual vehicle nor do they constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Fuel consumption calculated for vehicles with standard specification only. Actual consumption and performance may vary with items of optional equipment. A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions depend not only on its efficient use of fuel, but also on driving style and other non-technical factors. Current Porsche models with petrol engines are designed for fuel containing up to 10 % ethanol. You can obtain further information about individual vehicles from your Porsche Centre. 4) Valid in the countries listed only. 1)
