At the push of a button, it increases ground clearance at the front spoiler lip by 40 millimetres within five seconds. If the driver does not manually deactivate the lift function, the system automatically lowers the front body to the normal position when the vehicle reaches a speed of 30 km/h.

Whenever the performance of a Porsche car is enhanced, Porsche also boosts its braking ability to guarantee best-in-class deceleration. The front brakes of the 911 Carrera have new, larger four-piston brake callipers, which grip brake discs (330 mm x 34 mm) that are six millimetres thicker. At the same time, the brake pad surface was enlarged by 17 per cent. In the S model, 16 per cent larger pads from the 911 Turbo are used in combination with 20 mm larger diameter brake discs whose dimensions are 350 mm x 34 mm. They are joined by pins to a new aluminium brake bell, which reduces unsprung masses and thereby contributes toward better driving dynamics. The optional ceramic brake system (PCCB) now comes entirely from the 911 Turbo, so it includes larger brake discs (front: 410 mm x 36 mm, rear: 390 mm x 32 mm) and larger brake callipers to match.
