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).

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.

There’s no need to rein in your enthusiasm.
Even when you go off road.
Off-road capability and sports performance.
Off-road capability.
Using the main off-road control on the
centre console, you can select one of up
to three modes (depending on the model)
for improving the off-road capability or
revert the setting to normal road driving.
In Off-road Mode 1, the maps for all
relevant systems, e.g. ABS, are adapted
to provide optimum traction. In addition,
High Level 1 is selected on vehicles
featuring air suspension with PASM. The
air suspension can also be raised further
to High Level II to increase the approach/
departure angle and wading depth. Off-road
Mode 2 ensures even greater
traction on difficult terrain1) by fully
locking the multi-plate clutch. The
electronically controlled variable rear
differential on the optional Porsche
Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)
1) is
integrated within the all-wheel drive
system and can be fully locked in
Off-road Mode 3.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM helps to stabilise the vehicle in
hazardous road scenarios. The electronic
control system uses sensors to continu -
ously monitor the direction, speed, yaw
velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. It
also enhances traction when accelerating
on inconsistent road surfaces. In SPORT
PLUS mode, as featured in the Sport
Chrono Package, PSM is initiated later –
affording a greater sense of freedom to
the more dynamic driver.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package includes an
analogue and digital timer, the SPORT
PLUS button, the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration display in the instrument
cluster and a performance display in
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM). For an even sportier setup.
The SPORT PLUS button on the centre
console is used to activate SPORT PLUS
mode. The engine becomes even more
responsive. The damping is harder and the
steering more direct. The Performance
Start function ensures optimum acceler -
ation when pulling away. The timer
mounted on the dashboard displays the
recorded driving time or can be used as a
conventional clock. PSM also features a
special performance display to view, store
and evaluate lap times or other driving
times.

What makes a good co-pilot?
You know they are there when you need them.
Driver assistance systems.
Adaptive cruise control with
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
The system uses a radar sensor in the
central air intake to monitor the road up
to 200 m ahead. If you approach another
vehicle that is travelling slower than your
selected cruising speed, the system
slows the engine or gently applies the
brakes. This continues until the distance
that you have preset is maintained. If

heavier braking is required, the driver has
to actively intervene. When the vehicle in
front decelerates further, adaptive cruise
control will continue to reduce your

speed – even down to a halt. When the road
ahead is free once more, the car
automatically returns to your chosen

cruising speed bet ween 18 and 130 mph.
If selected by the driver, the integrated
Stop & Go function automatically applies
the brakes and then drives off again in
congested traffic. For added safet y, the
integrated Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

visually and audibly warns the driver that
intervention is necessary in the event of a
sudden decrease in distance and briefly
tugs on the brakes. It can also intervene
in the braking process and apply increased
braking pressure according to the situation

through to all-out emergency braking, if
required.
Cruise control.
Cruise control automatically regulates
the speed of your vehicle for added driver
comfort and safety on longer journeys.
Lane Departure Warning.
Lane Departure Warning uses a camera
to detect lane markings on the road.
Activated at speeds in excess of 40 mph,
it issues an acoustic warning signal if the
vehicle is threatening to stray outside the
lane.
Lane Change Assist.
Lane Change Assist monitors the area
behind the vehicle and the blind spot using
radar sensors. At speeds bet ween 18 and
155 mph, the system alerts the driver of a
vehicle in the blind spot or approaching
quickly from behind via a visual signal from
the exterior mirrors. This enhances
comfort and safety, particularly when
driving on the motorway. However, Lane
Change Assist does not actively intervene
in the controlling of the vehicle and can be
deactivated at any time.

You can never tire of looking at a Porsche.
Or looking out of one.
Parking and manoeuvring aids.
Surround View (camera system).1)
Surround View supplements the
reversing camera with three additional
high-resolution cameras – one in the
front apron and one in each lower trim
of the exterior mirrors. Based on the
information supplied by all four cameras,
the system generates a virtual bird’s
eye view of the car and displays it on the
PCM screen. This provides additional
assistance to the driver when parking
and manoeuvring because even low-level
obstacles at the front and side of the
vehicle can be detected. It is also
possible to switch between various
camera views to improve visibilit y, for
example at narrow exits.
ParkAssist.
This parking aid uses an acoustic signal
and front/rear displays to alert the driver
of any obstacles at the front or rear of
the car. Its sensors are neatly concealed
in the front and rear aprons. The acoustic
signal is supplemented by a visual
warning in the centre console display
which provides a graphical representation
of the vehicle’s proximity to obstacles.
