Using an improved injection process, as well as a new layout for the turbo-chargers and intercoolers, the efficiency of the engine has been further optimized. There are new driver-assistance systems, such as the optional Night Vision Assist with a thermal-imaging camera and Porsche Wet Mode. Porsche Wet Mode is designed to detect water on the road, then preconditions the stability control and anti-lock brake systems accordingly, and warns the driver. Wet Mode is included as standard equipment on the Porsche 911.
