ECO mode PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 2014 6.G Information Manual

12The silver-coloured Targa roll bar is a
characteristic feature. The ‘targa’ logo
underneath the side gills is in black.
Black creates further contrasts, too,
such as on the engine’s air intake grille
and on the t win tailpipes of the sports
exhaust system fit ted as standard.

A fusion of form and function. With a

rear that is 44 mm wider than that of
the 911 Carrera S and which makes
the 911 Targa 4 GTS appear even more
muscular. With the elegantly rounded
rear window. With the innovative Targa
roof, which opens or closes fully
automatically in just 20 seconds. With
the seamless taillight strip built on
modern LED technology – and the
superlative sport y traction of the
all-wheel drive. Aesthetics from the racetrack:
20
-inch Turbo S wheels, fit ted as
standard and featuring a central locking
device and paint finish in satin black.
Five-spoke, 20-inch Carrera S alloy
wheels – also painted in satin black –
are available as an option. Both of
these large wheels are characterised
by their excellent roadholding and
racetrack performance.
We can analyse the captivating power of
the new 911 Targa 4 GTS. We can explain
it. And we can describe it in the language
of design. There’s only one thing we
cannot do: resist.

Handling yourself is what really matters.
Chassis.
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
Fit ted as standard, PASM actively and
continuously regulates damping forces
according to the driving st yle and road
conditions. In addition, the body is
lowered by 10 mm.
PASM has t wo modes, which can be
selected using a but ton on the centre
console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend of
performance and comfort, and ‘Sport’
where the setup is much firmer.
Sensors record the body movements
that accompany powerful acceleration,
braking or uneven road surfaces, for example. The control unit evaluates the
driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
Optional PDCC is an active roll
stabilisation system that suppresses
lateral body movement when cornering.
In addition, it minimises the lateral
instability of the vehicle on uneven
ground.
The results are improved dynamic
per
form
ance and increased ride
comfort at all speeds, as well as
optimised turn-in and even better
load transfer characteristics.
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
is set ting standards for handling
perfor mance, ride comfort – and
driving pleasure.
