Electromechanical 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   electromechanical power steering. Statis
tics 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   
bene   ficial 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 comfort enhancing 
power steering system, is available as an 
option for the 911 Carrera models. At high 
speeds, the steering is as firm as possible, 
ensuring maximum precision whilst steer 
ing 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 SPORT button 
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.
Included in the package are a performance 
display, a digital and an analogue stop 
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An 
additional display in the steering wheel 
and instrument cluster indicates whether 
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control 
have been activated.
Every day can be sports day.
