2004 PORSCHE 911 TURBO gearbox

The new 911 Turbo is equipped
with Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) as standard.
This electronic active damping
system offers continuous adjust-
ment of the damping force on
each wheel based on current road
conditions and driving style.
PASM has two driver-selectable
setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’,
which share a minimal degree
of overlap. While ‘Normal’ provides
a blend of performance and
comfort, the ‘Sport’ setup mode
has a much firmer range of
settings. The system responds to
changing road conditions and/or
driving style by continuously
varying the individual damping
forces within the parameters
defined for the selected setup
mode (‘Normal’ or ‘Sport’).
PASM uses a range of sensors
to monitor any movement in the
body of the car (e.g., under
acceleration, braking or on uneven
road surfaces). The PASM control
unit uses this data to obtain a
real-time evaluation of the forces
acting on the car. The system
responds continuously with a
corresponding modification of
individual damping force s in
accordance with the selected
setup mode. The results are a
reduction in both pitch and roll
as well as consistent road-holding
from all four wheels.
If ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the
suspension is set to a harder
damper rating. If the quality of
the road surface falls below a
certain threshold, the system
immediately changes to a softer
rating within the ‘Sport’ setup
range. This adjustment enhances
occupant comfort as well as
traction and grip. When the road
surface improves, PASM
automatically reverts to the
original, harder rating.
If ‘Normal’ mode is selected, and
the car is driven more assertively,
PASM automatically switches to
a harder rating within the ‘Normal’
setup range. As the dampers
become stiffer, the car becomes
more stable, ensuring higher
levels of active safety as well as
greater enjoyment from your
Porsche.
Limited-slip differential.
The manual gearbox version of
the new 911 Turbo is available with
an optional mechanical limited-slip
rear differential. Key benefits
include greater rear-end traction
when exiting hairpin bends as
well as on variable-grip surfaces.
It also compensates for changes
in wheel loads caused by throttle
modulation when cornering.
