Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) 911 Targa 4 Models

Porsche 911 Targa 4 Models - Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

PTV (with manual transmission) or PTV Plus (with PDK) is available as standard in the S models and as an option for the 911 Carrera 4 models and the 911 Targa 4. Both systems actively enhance vehicle dynamics and stability. Operating in conjunction with a rear differential lock, they work by intelligently braking the rear wheels as the situation demands.

When the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in a direct and sporty steering action from the turn-in point.

With PTV, the rear differential lock is regulated mechanically, while PTV Plus is equipped with electronic control offering fully variable torque distribution. In interaction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), the system improves driving stability not least on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.

For the driver, this means strong resistance to destabilising side forces, outstanding traction and great agility at every speed – with precise turn-in and well-balanced load transfer characteristics. What else? Tremendous fun in the corners.
