Chassis systems.
Steel-spring suspension.1)
The steel-spring suspension meets
high-level requirements in terms of
performance, driving pleasure and

off-road capability. Consistent lightweight
construction ensures improved driving
dynamics, greater fuel economy
and enhanced comfort. In addition, the
suspension setup has been further
optimised to deliver a clear result: greater
comfort and sports performance.
Typically Porsche.
Air suspension with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM).
2)
A constant vehicle position thanks to air
suspension including self-levelling and ride-height
control with PASM. The ground
clearance can be adjusted using the
rocker switch on the centre console. And
to make it easier to load the car, you can
also select Loading Level using a button
in the luggage compartment.

PASM is an electronic damping control
system that actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each wheel,
based on road conditions and driving
style. By means of a button on the centre
console, you can select one of three
modes: Comfort, SPORT or SPORT PLUS.
Sensors record the body movements that
accompany powerful acceleration, braking
and rapid cornering on uneven road surfaces.
The control unit evaluates the
driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each wheel in accord -
ance with the selected mode. The result
is threefold: increased driving stability,
more comfort and improved performance.


Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC).
PDCC is an active anti-roll system that
anticipates and reduces lateral body
movement when cornering. In addition, it
minimises lateral sway of the vehicle on
rippled road surfaces.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus
(PTV Plus).
PT V Plus is a system for enhancing
driving dynamics and stability. Operating
in conjunction with an electronically
controlled rear differential lock, it works
by varying the torque distribution to the
rear wheels. Depending on the steering
angle and steering speed, accelerator
pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle
speed, PT V Plus optimises steering
response and precision by selectively
applying brake pressure to the left or
right rear wheel.
