PASM Sport suspension.
The body sits a further 10 mm lower than that of the standard 911 Carrera. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) – the electronic damping control system – continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel based on current road conditions and driving inputs.
The springs are firmer and shorter, and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip has an even sportier contour and the rear spoiler extends further. The result is reduced lift at the front axle and increased downforce at the rear axle for improved aerodynamics and another boost in performance.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
Fitted as standard, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) enhances vehicle dynamics and stability. Operating in conjunction with a limited slip rear differential, the system works 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 moment) around the vehicle’s vertical axis. The result is experienced through direct and sporty steering action from the turn-in point.
The mechanically regulated rear differential lock included with PTV has an asymmetrical lock factor. This helps to provide greater traction when braking into and accelerating out of corners, and when driving on road surfaces with varying grip.
The results are strong resistance to destabilizing side forces, outstanding traction and great agility – with precise turn-in and well-balanced load transfer characteristics. And, of course, tremendous fun in the corners.
Rear axle steering.
Rear axle steering is available as an option. It enhances performance and everyday practicality in equal measure, for particularly agile handling combined with a significant increase in driving stability.
During low-speed maneuvers, the system steers counter to the front axle to provide a virtual shortening of the wheelbase. Thus, cornering turnin becomes considerably more dynamic. At higher speeds, the system steers in the same direction as the front axle, causing a virtual extension of the wheelbase to increase driving stability. All of this has positive impact on maximum driving performance.
