Materials used in making the Porsche 911:

Body:

- Aluminum (mainly used in the chassis, doors, and bonnet for weight reduction)

- Steel (used in some structural parts for strength)

Engine:

- Aluminum (used for the cylinder heads, engine block, and crankcase for lightweight and better heat dissipation)

- Steel (used in some engine components for durability)

Transmission:

- Aluminum (used for the transmission casing for lightweight and better heat dissipation)

- Steel (used in gears and some transmission components for strength and durability)

Suspension:

Brakes:

- Cast iron (used in brake rotors for heat dissipation and durability)

- Aluminum (used in brake calipers for lightweight and better heat dissipation)

- Ceramic (used in some high-performance models for even better heat dissipation and reduced weight)

Interior:

- Leather (used for seats, steering wheel, and other upholstery for a luxurious feel)

- Alcantara (a synthetic suede-like material used for seats, steering wheel, and other interior surfaces for a sporty and grippy feel)

- Carbon fiber (used in some trim pieces and optional interior elements for weight reduction and sporty aesthetics)

Other materials:
