Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
The electronic adjustment of the
shock absorber systems actively
and continuously controls the
damping force – depending on
the driving style and situation –
for each individual wheel.
By pressing a button, the driver
can choose between two setup
modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport ’.
Normal mode is designed for

general road driving and on the
racetrack in the wet. Sport mode
is specially designed for maximum
lateral acceleration and the best
possible traction on the racetrack.
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
The limits of driving dynamics.
Those who venture here should
have the necessary equipment –
in addition to driving ability. So,
PSM has been adapted to the
power of the new 911 GT2 RS.
The principle is that in addition
to the ABS there are
two auto-
matic control systems: stability
control (SC) and traction control
(TC). Stability control (SC) controls
lateral dynamics using a range
of sensors to constantly monitor
the direction, speed, yaw velocity
and lateral acceleration of the
car. This information is used to
calculate the actual direction
of travel. If the car starts to go
off course, stability control (SC)
initiates selective braking on
individual wheels to stabilise the
vehicle in critical driving scenarios.
Traction control (TC) with its
integrated ABD (automatic brake
differential), ASR (ant-slip regula-
tion) and EDC (engine drag-torque
control) functions controls the
l ongitudinal dynamics of the car.
This highly sports-oriented traction
control improves traction on vary-
ing road surfaces. Traction control
(TC) also limits excessive force
that can cause the rear to slide out
uncontrollably under full power.
The special feature of PSM in
the 911 GT2 RS is that these
two systems can be switched
of f completely, in t wo stages –
for deliberate sports handling.
In the first stage, the ‘SC OFF’
button in the centre console disa-
bles the stability control (SC). In
‘SC OFF’ mode, the system does
not intervene if the car goes off
course in the lateral direction.
In addition to deliberate steering actions, the car can now also be
driven very dynamically into bends
by acting on the throttle. Traction
control (TC) is still active in this
mode.
In the second stage, the separate
‘SC + TC OFF’ button also disables
the traction control (TC). In this
mode, both the lateral dynamics
control and traction control are
deactivated. Driving is now influ-
enced only by the driver. Another
special feature is that in both the
first stage (SC OFF) and second
stage (SC + TC OFF), the cross-
dynamic control will not reactivate
itself even when the brakes are
applied strongly, including in the
ABS control range. This function
and switching strategy enables
race-oriented driving dynamics –
to meet individual demands for
extraordinary performance on the
racetrack.

The anti-lock braking system
(ABS 8.0) integrated in PSM

remains active in all of these set-
tings. ABS ensures that braking
distances are as short as possible
– thus providing greater safety.
Being in awe doesn’t mean coming
to a halt. It means reacting
correctly – whenever it matters.

Bodyshell structure.
The reinforced bodyshell of the
new 911 GT2 RS contains a highly
resilient passenger cell which
offers exceptional crash protection,
whilst still ensuring the vehicle
remains lightweight. A system of
longitudinal and transverse mem-
bers, patented by Porsche, is
used at the front. In the event of a
collision, this distributes the forces
and minimises deformation of the
passenger cell. An extremely rigid
bulkhead cross-member made from
super high-strength steel absorbs
impact forces from the front
longitudinal members to protect both front footwells. Reinforced
doors contribute to the overall
rigidity of the car. In the event
of a front impact, an additional
load path is used to channel ener-
gy through the upper part of the
bodyshell and thus further protect
the passenger cell. Easily replace-
able collision elements protect
the bodyshell in minor accidents.
The high proportion of aluminium
alloys and high-strength steel
used contributes towards the
good power-to-weight ratio of
the 911 GT2 RS.
Driver and passenger airbags.
In the 911 GT2 RS, the airbag
technology has been adapted for
the car. The full-size front airbags
are activated in t wo stages
depending on the seriousness and
type of accident (e.g. frontal or
diagonal from the front). In low-
speed collisions, the airbag is
only partially inflated, thereby mini-
mising discomfort to occupants.
Porsche Side Impact Protection
System (POSIP).
The standard POSIP system con-
sists of side impact protection
in the doors and side airbags for
the head. The large volume of the
airbags provides protection over
the whole seat-adjustment range.
Padded elements on the door
panels also protect the occupants.
The optional sports bucket seats
and adaptive sports seats have
a thorax airbag instead of the pad-
ded elements.
Other safet y features in the new
911 GT2 RS are the headrests
integrated in the seat backs, a
safety steering column, three-point
seat belts in red with belt height
adjustment, belt tensioner and belt
force limiter, energy absorbing
structures in the dashboard and
fire resistant materials throughout
the interior.

The objective was to go to the
extreme. The end result is awe

inspiring: a car that provides
maximum power, maximum

efficiency and maximum Porsche
Intelligent Per formance.
A car that demands every thing
from its driver: Stamina. Courage.
Ability. At all times.
A car that is always absolutely
ready. Everything you need you
will find in the following checklist.
As well as those things you can
choose to remove.
Only one thing is absolutely
necessary: Awe.
