7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. The 7-speed manual
transmission combines a high level of
sporty performance with fast gear changes.
In conjunction with the optional Sport
Chrono Package, selecting SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode activates the dynamic
throttle-blip function, which ensures the
optimum engine speed for every downshift,
a more emotional driving experience and
an impressive sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter reminds
you which gear has been selected. The
upshift indicator in the instrument cluster
helps you to conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optimised 7-speed PDK, featuring both
a manual and an automatic mode, offers
extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power – together
with even faster acceleration performance
and lower fuel consumption.
A first for the 911 Carrera models: with PDK
in manual mode, the shift direction simulates
that of racing cars and the 911 GT3 models –
towards the rear to shift up, forwards to shift
down. For a racetrack driving experience
wherever you are.
Gears one to six have a sports ratio and
top speed is reached in sixth gear. Seventh
gear is ratioed primarily for fuel economy.
Always a few milliseconds ahead of time.

SPORT button.
The SPORT button enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is on
either comfort or sporty 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 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 button: the
optional Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts. For an even
sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and
transmission.
What ’s new is the mode switch on the
steering wheel, derived from the
918 Spyder. Four settings are available to
choose from: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS
and Custom, which enable you to adapt the
vehicle to the way you want to drive.
Another few seconds faster.
