Another key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence

of this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads,
as well as greater agilit y and improved
handling. Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance

driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional
high-performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake compo
-
nents be professionally inspected and
replaced where necessary after every
track event.
Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which can
be activated and deactivated manually,
is released automatically as you pull
away with your seat belt fastened. A hill
hold function is integrated as standard for the manual gearbox and for PDK.
It assists you in making a comfortable,
smooth and roll-free start on an incline.
Whenever you come to halt on an incline,
this is detected automatically and the
braking effect of the electric parking brake is supplemented by application

of the wheel brakes. As long as a gear
remains engaged, the brake pressure
is maintained at all four wheels. To pull
away, simply apply throttle (manual gearbox: apply throt tle and release the
clutch pedal). The wheel brakes are
released as soon as sufficient starting
torque is available and the parking brake
is released as the vehicle moves off.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
Enhanced Porsche Stability Management
(PSM) is fit ted as standard. This system
automatically maintains stability even
at the limits of dynamic driving perfor -
mance. Sensors continuously monitor
the speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. Using this
information, PSM is able to calculate the
actual direction of travel at any given
moment. If the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective braking
on individual wheels in order to restore
stability. Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction –
as well as agilit y and safet y – using the
automatic brake differential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). Integrated ABS
is designed to minimise braking distances.
If you prefer an ever sportier drive, PSM
can be switched off. For your safet y,

however, PSM remains set to intervene if
the vehicle is braked and ABS assistance
is required. ABS and ABD remain switched on at all times. Also included with PSM
are engine drag torque control (EDC),
precharging of the brake system and
brake assist. If you suddenly release the
accelerator pedal, PSM automatically
prepares for your next action: the braking
system is precharged so that the brake
pads are already in light contact with the
brake discs. Maximum braking power is therefore achieved much sooner. Brake
assist detects a panic braking situation
and generates the brake pressure
required for maximum deceleration.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
This optional system for increasing
dynamic performance and stability varies
the distribution of torque to the rear
wheels and includes a mechanically lock -
ing rear differential. When the car is driven assertively into

a corner, moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel. Conse -
quently, a greater amount of drive force
is distributed to the outside rear wheel,
inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s

vertical axis. This results in a direct and
sport y steering action as the car enters
the corner. At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
significantly increases agilit y and steering
precision. At high speeds and when

accelerating out of corners, the rear differ -
ential lock ensures greater driving stabilit y on a range of surface conditions, includ
-
ing the wet and snow.
The results are remarkable stabilit y, easier
handling and outstanding traction as
well as
greater agilit y at every speed with

Sport Chrono Package.
Time is precious and every hundredth
of a second counts. The optional Sport
Chrono Package makes your driving experi -
ence priceless thanks to an even sportier
tuning of throt tle response and handling
characteristics.
The package comprises dynamic gear-
box mounts, a per formance display,
a digital and analogue stopwatch and
the SPORT PLUS but ton. When this
is pressed, optional Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) switches
to ‘Sport ’ mode for harder damping
and more direct steering and therefore,
even more intensive road holding.
The trigger threshold for PSM is raised.
Agilit y is perceptibly enhanced when
braking for corners with PSM, allowing
even sportier braking and exit acceleration.
For even greater 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.
In conjunction with optional PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package comes with t wo additional
functions for a sport y drive that borders
on a motorsport experience. The first
is ‘Launch Control’, which is designed to
produce a racing start.
The second function is the involving

‘motorsport- derived gearshif t strategy’.
Using this, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

is geared up for the shortest possible
shift times and optimum shift points,
while torque boosts during gear changes
provide the maximum possible accelera -
tion. This involving experience is further
enhanced by overrun downshifts
and the
throttle-blip function for uncompromising
driving pleasure.
An additional display in the steering wheel
or either the instrument cluster indicates
whether the SPORT or SPORT PLUS
but -
tons and, with PDK, Launch Control have
been activated. In conjunction with the
optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM), a special 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.

Performance is further intensified by
dynamic gearbox mounts. Read on to find
