Power steering.
Another possible definition of efficiency   
is a system that works only when it is 
needed, and then does so in a particularly 
effective way.
This was the guiding principle for our 
engineers in the development of the   new electromechanical power steering. 
Statistics show that a car drives in a 
straight line 90 
% of the time. Unlike   
conventional hydraulic pumps, the electric 
motor uses energy only when the steering 
wheel is actually turned. The absence  
of hydraulic fluid also makes the system 
more beneficial to the environment.
As far as the other 10  % is concerned, we’re 
optimally prepared as the steering system 
is t ypically Porsche. It features a variable 
steering ratio and responds sensitively 
and directly at the same time as providing 
customary agility, a high level of comfort 
and precisely selected feedback from the 
road. Our definition of efficient.Power steering Plus.
Power steering Plus, the speed -sensitive 
power-steering system, is available   
as an option for the 911 Carrera models. 
At high speeds, the steering is as firm 
as you would expect and responds with 
extreme precision while steering comfort 
remains as high. At low speeds, the 
steering ratio of Power steering Plus 
adjusts for much easier manoeuvring 
and parking.
SPORT button.
Fit ted as standard, the new SPORT  
but ton enables you to select a suspension 
setup where the emphasis is on either 
comfort or sport y performance. At the 
push of a button, the electronic engine 
management system switches the engine 
mapping to offer an even sharper 
response and engine dynamics that are 
more direct. 
In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung 
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher 
engine speeds and downshifts happen  sooner. In addition, coasting mode and 
the auto start/stop function are automati
-
cally deactivated. If fitted, the optional 
sports exhaust system is also activated 
automatically.
Sport Chrono Package. 
The Sport Chrono Package including 
dynamic engine mounts is available   
as an option. This integrated system   
provides simultaneous enhancement for 
the chassis, engine and transmission.
Every day can be sports day.
