Included in the package are a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stop -
watch and the SPORT PLUS but ton. An
additional display in the steering wheel
and instrument cluster indicates whether
the SPORT but tons and Launch Control
have been activated.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and, in the S model, optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
switch to a harder damping set ting
and offer more direct steering and,
therefore, better road holding.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger thresh -
old
for PSM is raised. Agilit y is perceptibly
enhanced when braking for corners with
PSM, allowing sportier braking and exit acceleration. For maximum dexterit y,
PSM can be set to standby while the car
is still in SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y,
it is set to intervene automatically only
when ABS assistance is required on
both the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions for a sport y drive that borders on a motorsport experience. The first
is ‘Launch Control’, which can be used
on the track to achieve the best possible
standing start – a racing start.
The second function is the ‘motorsport-
derived gearshif t strategy’. Using this,
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared
up for extremely short shift times and
optimum shift points for the maximum
acceleration available. This combination
of uncompromising and involving perfor -
mance is ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of the Sport Chrono
Package is the stopwatch mounted on
the dashboard. In conjunction with PCM,
a special performance display enables
you to view store and evaluate lap times
or other driving times. It shows the total
driving time, lap distance, lap number
and lap times recorded so far.
A feature of the Sport Chrono Package
borrowed from motorsport is the dynamic
engine mounts. These exploit the laws
of physics for your own driving pleasure.
Dynamic engine mounts.
You don’t have to take the new 911 onto
the racetrack. But you can, more so
than ever, because dynamic engine
mounts are now included as part of the
Sport Chrono Package. Based on the
engine mounts of the 911 GT3 and
911 Turbo models, it is the first time that they have been available for a
911 Carrera. Even if track racing is not
for you, dynamic engine mounts make
a decisive contribution to dynamic
performance on the road, too.
The electronically controlled system mini -
mises the oscillations and vibrations of the
entire drive train, especially the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or
soft engine mounting arrangement.
A hard engine mounting delivers optimum
dynamic performance because it offers
the highest degree of handling precision
possible. Soft engine mounts, on the
other hand, minimise oscillations and
vibrations. While comfort is improved on
uneven road surfaces, this comes at
the expense of dynamic performance.
Our engineers have solved this problem
by enabling the engine mounts to adapt
their stiffness and damping properties to
changes in driving st yle and road surface
conditions. This has been achieved by
use of a fluid with magnetic properties in interaction with an electrically generated
field. For the driver, the results are tangi
-
ble. Handling is perceptibly more stable
under load change conditions and in
fast corners. Whenever a less assertive
driving st yle is adopted, the dynamic
provide a higher level of comfort.
