Drive 51
The essential feature of all 911 all-wheel
drive models: enhanced Porsche Traction
Management (PTM).
Derived from the 911
 Turbo, the
electronically controlled and fully variable
multi-plate clutch distributes drive force
between the permanently driven rear
axle and the front axle even faster and
more precisely than ever before.
The driving state of the vehicle is
continuously monitored so that it is
possible to respond to different driving
situations. Sensors are used to collect a
range of data, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and
longitudinal acceleration of the car and
the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten
to spin under acceleration, a greater
proportion of drive force is transmit ted
to the front by a more powerful
engagement of the multi-plate clutch.
In this way, PTM, working in conjunction
with Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), always ensures the appropriate
distribution of force necessary for
excellent driving performance and
particularly well-balanced handling at

the limit.

Electromechanical power steering.
Statistically, a car drives in a straight line
90 % of the time. In light of this, our
engineers identified potential for energy
savings. Unlike the hydraulic pumps of
conventional power steering systems, the
electric motor of the electromechanical
arrangement uses energy only when the
steering wheel is actually turned.
That isn’t to say that you aren’t ideally
prepared for the other 10 %. After all,
this steering system is t ypically Porsche.
It features a variable steering ratio and responds sensitively and directly while
providing customary agilit y, a high level
of comfort and precisely selected
feedback from the road. Our definition

of efficient.

Chassis 61
Power steering Plus.
The comfort- oriented Power steering Plus
is available as an option. At low speeds,
it adjusts for much easier manoeuvring
and parking.
Rear-axle steering.
Rear-axle steering is available on request
for all S models. Until now reserved
exclusively for the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3
models, it enhances performance and
everyday practicalit y in equal measure.
For particularly nimble handling combined
with a significant increase in driving
stability.
The advantage for day-to - day driving:
during low-speed manoeuvres, the
system steers the rear wheels in the
opposite direction to that of the front
wheels. This has the virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase. The turning
circle is reduced, cornering turn-in
becomes considerably more dynamic,
and parking is noticeably easier to
manage.
The advantage for sport y driving: during
high-speed manoeuvres, the system
steers the rear wheels in the same
direction as that of the front wheels.
Driving stability is increased by the
virtual extension of the wheelbase and
agility is enhanced by the simultaneous
steering of the front and rear axles. All
this has an impact on maximum driving
performance: an extremely positive one.
Front-axle lift system.
Particularly practical: the lift system,
available as an option for all 911
models,
raises the front end by approximately 40 mm – and keeps it there up to a
speed of roughly 21 mph. With this new
system, kerbs, ramps and car park
entrances are a sporting challenge of the
past.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
PDCC – optional for all S models in
conjunction with rear-axle steering –
is an active anti-roll system that
suppresses lateral body movement
during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral
instability of the vehicle on uneven
ground.
The results are improved dynamic
performance, even more neutral handling
and increased ride comfort – whatever
the speed. In simple terms, the t yres and vehicle
hold the road bet ter and you can steer
through corners faster and in a more
relaxed manner. Which is why PDCC sets
standards for driving performance, ride
comfort – and driving pleasure.

SPORT button.
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 automatically
deactivated. If fitted, the optional sports
exhaust system is also activated
automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
Adrenaline at the push of a but ton, goose
bumps included: the functions of the
optional Sport Chrono Package enable
an even sportier tuning of the chassis,
engine and transmission – and launch
you to unprecedented sporty heights.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder to make you feel closer to
the racetrack. Without your hand leaving
the steering wheel, you can choose any
of four set tings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT
PLUS and Individual. Now you can adapt
the vehicle even more to the way you
want to drive. On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and, in the S models, optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
and optional rear-axle steering adapt for
enhanced roadholding performance by
switching to a sportier damper set ting
and offering more direct turn-in on
entering the corner.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has three additional
functions. The first is ‘Launch Control’,
which can be used to achieve the best
possible standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the motorsport-
derived gearshift strategy. In this mode,
Another few seconds faster.

High-performance systems.
PDK is geared up for extremely short
shift times and optimum shift points for
the maximum acceleration available.
This combination of uncompromising and
involving performance is ideal for the
racetrack.
The third function – SPORT Response –
is brand new to the 911. Pressing the
but ton in the centre of the mode switch
primes the engine and transmission for the
fastest possible unleashing of power. In
other words, maximum responsiveness –
for a period of approximately 20 seconds.

A rest yling of the Bi-Xenon main
headlights – fit ted as standard – sees
the four-spot LED day time running lights
now incorporated into each headlight
unit. These are an innovative technical
feature of the new 911
models – and
a facet of their personality. After all,
it is the characteristic lighting design
that makes the face of the 911
so
unmistakable.
Cut ting edge LED technology is also
used for all functions of the redesigned
taillights. As well as being a powerful
lighting source, LEDs offer a fast response
to driver input. The LED brake lights
emulate the four-spot appearance of the
daytime running lights.
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
is available as an option. Its dynamic
cornering light function swivels the main
headlights towards the inside of a bend,
based on steering angle and road speed,
so as to light up more of the road at
bends and turns. Put simply, the road
ahead is illuminated the moment you
start to corner. PDLS also features
speed-sensitive headlight range control
and the adverse weather function.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
Superior safety meets sporty design in
the form of optional LED main headlights
including PDLS Plus. In addition to being
efficient and long-lasting, LED technology
also creates a light very similar to daylight
and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.
One special feature of PDLS Plus is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the dynamic
main beam function then adapts the
