Development Porsche 911 - Virtual Driver’s Seat

In no other type of vehicle is the connection between the driver and vehicle so intense as in a sports car. With the second-generation virtual driver’s seat, Porsche has a highly modern development tool to enhance this connection even further. The simulator enables highly precise tests of the interaction between the driver and the technology in practically every stage of the creation of new vehicles, systems and functions. The application spectrum ranges from the display of virtual reality within and outside of the vehicle to tests with complete vehicles.

Driving simulations in the vehicle development process are the early interface between the human and the machine. They enable “test drives” with virtual vehicles in any digitized environment. Critical situations can be simulated in a risk-free and reproducible manner. And they significantly shorten development times: real components can be swapped in a flash, and virtual elements can be changed at the push of a button.
