911 Body 5 Bodyshell Extensive reinforcement measures in sill, roof frame and seat pan area increase the flectional and torsional strength by a further 25% on coupes and by 10% on convertibles. Apart from the wings, which have been adopted from the 911 Turbo, the bodyshell has been modified in various areas for model update purposes. The B-post has been modified to take the new belt tensioner and belt-force limiter. In the tunnel and seat pan area, an additional tube with side support has been fitted for lateral reinforcement. The tunnel area has been modified to take the new (Tiptronic S) transmission. The position of the transmission mounting on the body now corresponds to the 911 Turbo. A reinforcement tube has also been fitted in the side of the roof frame. 5_06_02 1 - Very-high-strength steel 2 - Boron steel 3 - High-strength steel 4 - Sheet steel 5 - Tailored blanks 2002 Service Information 5 - 3
