Porshe 911 (997). Manual - part 1202

50 Body parts of various sheet-steel strengths - as of
MY 2005

High-strength steel plates

Note

Only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work!

• 

Body parts of high-strength steel contribute to better protection of the passenger compartment and thus
increase protection of the passengers. In addition to improved crash safety, these parts also have a positive
influence on fatigue strength. In terms of crash behaviour, body parts made from high-strength sheet steel are
characterised by their higher energy absorption. But this also means that higher reshaping force must be
applied in reshaping work.

WARNING

This affects torsion resistance, resistance to bending and crash safety

Danger of injury and material damage

• 

→ Body parts made of highest-strength steel plate cannot be reshaped. Highest-strength body parts

cannot be straightened or reshaped!

Tailored blanks

The indicated body parts are made by welding together plates of different thicknesses and characteristics and
then deep-drawing these parts. In their crash behaviour, these body parts are characterised by their high
energy absorption.

Danger of injury and material damage

• 

→ The spare parts are heat-treated. "Original Porsche parts" attain their final strength only after the

production stage of cathodic immersion painting and drying.

→ Only "Original Porsche parts" or sections of "Original Porsche parts" may be used for repair work!

The indicated body parts attain their final strength only through the temperature effects of the production stage
of cathodic immersion painting and drying.
