sport mode PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 2014 6.G Information Manual

It doesn’t just attract glances.
It turns them into gazes.
Exterior design.
At Porsche, design has always been about
much more than good looks. Design has
always had a function, too. Only then does
it possess genuinely captivating power,
and hold the admirer under its spell.

We’ve given the new 911 Targa 4 GTS
every thing that a sports car needs for
captivating appeal: a powerful front, a
broad rear, a sharpened design. And
Carmine Red paint work, which – with the
GTS – is available as an option for the
911 models for the very first time. And
brings into prominence those elements
of the exterior finished in black. The sport y design of the front apron is
clear to see – yet pared down to the
essentials. Aerodynamics are excellent
thanks to the optimised front spoiler,
while large air intakes ensure the supply
of fresh air is maximised.
Typical of a GTS are the Bi-Xenon main
headlights including the Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS) in black as well as
SportDesign exterior mirrors, all of which
are fit ted as standard.

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.

Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package is fit ted as
standard and provides even sportier tuning
for the chassis, engine and transmission.
The package includes a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stopwatch
and the SPORT PLUS but ton.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) switch to a sportier
suspension set ting and offer more direct
steering and, therefore, better roadholding.
The intervention threshold of Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) is raised.
Braking in corners is noticeably more
agile and PSM now allows sportier braking
and exit acceleration.
In conjunction with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has two additional functions:
‘Launch Control’ to achieve the best
possible standing start, on the racetrack for example, and the ‘motorsport-derived
gearshift strategy’ for extremely short
shift times and optimum shift points for
the maximum acceleration available, and
a driving experience straight from
motorsport.
Dynamic engine mounts.
Dynamic engine mounts form part of the
Sport Chrono Package. The electronically
controlled system minimises the
oscillations and vibrations of the entire
drivetrain, particularly the engine, and
combines the benefits of a hard or soft
engine mounting arrangement.
The stiffness and damping properties of
the engine mounts adapt to changes in
driving style and road conditions. Handling
is perceptibly more stable under load
change conditions and in fast corners.
Whenever a less assertive driving st yle is
adopted, the dynamic engine mounts
provide a higher degree of comfort.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
PT V is fit ted as standard in conjunction
with the manual transmission,
or PT V Plus in conjunction with PDK.
Both systems actively enhance vehicle
dynamics and stability. Operating in
conjunction with a mechanical (PT V) or
electronic (PT V Plus) rear differential
lock, they work by intelligently braking
the rear wheels as the situation
demands.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and under acceleration out of corners,
the rear differential lock acts to provide
greater driving stability.
