Dynamic cornering lights
All new 911 models come
equipped as standard with bi-
xenon headlights with dynamic
range control. The resulting
brightness is around twice that of
conventional halogen lamps. With
dipped or main beam, the
lights are stronger and more
uniform, helping to minimise
driver fatigue. A headlight
cleaning system (SRA) is built-in.
Also available as an option are
the new dynamic cornering lights,
offering particularly effective
illumination of the road.
Active safety: headlights.
Lots of light. No shade.

The new 911 | Safety
Sensors continuously monitor the
speed, lateral acceleration and
steering lock and, from these
variables, calculate the course
of the bend. This determines the
angle of the dynamic cornering
lights, with dipped beams able to
swivel outwards up to a limit of
15 degrees. The road ahead is
therefore illuminated much more
effectively.
Lighting concept.
The front light units incorporate
the direction indicators, the
LED daytime running lights and
position lights, which provide
outstanding visibility and create
an imposing look.
LEDs are also used for the
direction indicators, the taillights
and brake lights, the additional
brake light in the rear spoiler,
and the rear fog light. These
provide better illumination and
respond more quickly to driver
input, so that following traffic is
alerted earlier. They are energy
efficient, eco-friendly and have
a longer service life than
conventional bulbs – as well
as an unmistakable design,
day or night.
To guide you in and out of the car,
reflector lamps and entry lamps
are located on the inside of the
doors.
