“That can’t be done.”
If ever a sentence gave motivation to sports car designers, this is it.

Chassis and body.
A solid identit y tends to be described
with words like stability, directness or
substance. This might sound a lit tle
serious but, when it comes to the chassis
and body, we think that this is entirely
the right approach.
The best example is the engineered
design. Indeed, dynamic per formance
and ride comfort fundamentally depend
on factors such as vehicle weight, body
rigidity, wheelbase, axle construction
and steering. With the 911, we challenged
our engineers to push the boundaries
of what is possible. Chassis control systems make a key

contribution to the 911 driving experience
and thus to the 9 11 i d e n t i t y. T h e s e
include Porsche Stability Management
(PSM), Porsche Active Suspension

Management (PASM), which comes as
standard in the 911 Carrera S models,
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is additionally available as an option for
the
9 11 Carrera S models.
Yet, there is still scope for improvement
as far as sport y performance is

concerned. The optional Sport Chrono Package triggers an adrenaline rush

at the push of a but ton. Dynamic engine
mounts, until now exclusively reserved

for 911 GT and Turbo models, may not be
capable of breaking the laws of physics
but they do succeed in exploiting them

to their own advantage – and yours.

| Chassis and body
PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard in the 911 Carrera S
models and available as an option for
the 911 Carrera models. It actively and
continuously regulates damping forces
according to driving st yle and road
conditions. In addition, the suspension
is lowered by 10 mm.
PASM has t wo modes, which can be
selected using a separate but ton on
the centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a
blend of performance and comfort, and
‘Sport ’ where the setup is much firmer. Sensors record the body movements

that accompany powerful acceleration,
braking or uneven road surfaces. In the
911, the number of sensors has been
increased for improved data acquisition
and even more ef ficient control interven­
tions. The PASM control unit evaluates
the driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode.
In ‘Sport ’ mode, the suspension is set to
a harder damper rating. On uneven roads,
PASM immediately switches to a softer
rating, thereby improving contact between
the wheels and the road. When the road
surface improves, PASM automatically
reverts to the original, harder rating. If
‘Normal’ mode is selected and the driver’s
st yle becomes more assertive, PASM
automatically switches to a harder rating.
Damping firms up, and driving stability
and road safet y are increased.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.
No need to let the laws of physics
spoil your fun.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).PASM sports suspension.
The PASM sports suspension is available
as an option for the 911 Carrera Coupé
models in conjunction with 20 ­inch wheels
and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) or
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The ride height is 20 mm lower than

with the standard suspension or 10 mm
compared with the PASM suspension.
The springs are harder and shorter, and
the anti ­roll bars on the front and rear
axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip has
a more sport y geometry, the rear spoiler extends even further. These not only

further reduce lift at the front axle, but
also provide downforce at the rear axle
for improved aerodynamics and even
better performance.

| Chassis and body
PTV in conjunction with the manual gear­
box, or PT V Plus with Porsche Doppel ­
kupplung (PDK), are available as options
for the 911 Carrera models and standard
in the 9 11 Carrera S models. Both systems
actively enhance vehicle dynamics and
stability. Operating in conjunction with a
mechanical (PT V) or electronic (PT V Plus)
rear differential lock, they work by
braking the rear wheels as the situation
demands.
As a function of steering angle and steering
speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw
rate and vehicle speed, PT V and PT V Plus
are able to improve steering response

and steering precision by specific braking
of the right or left rear wheel. To be more precise, this means that when
the car is driven assertively into a corner,
moderate brake pressure is applied to the
inside rear wheel. Consequently, 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
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and when accelerating out of corners,
the rear differential lock ensures greater
driving stability. With PTV, the differential
lock is regulated mechanically; with

Attack the corners.
Maintain good posture.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PT V Plus, it is regulated electronically and
the torque distribution is infinitely varia ­
ble. Whichever system is fit ted, it interacts
with Porsche Stabilit y Management (PSM)
to improve driving stabilit y on a range of
surface conditions, including the wet and
snow.
For the driver, this means remarkable
stability, easier handling and outstanding
traction as well as greater agilit y at every
speed with precise steering and stable
load transfer characteristics. What else?
Unrivalled driving pleasure at every t wist
and turn.

Engineering that takes you forward:

Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module and a
high ­resolution 7 ­inch colour touchscreen,
fit ted as standard. PCM is your control
centre for audio, navigation and commu ­
nication functions.Instruments.
Sporty not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five circular instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately.
Their st yling is t ypically Porsche with the
rev counter exactly where you would
expect it to be: in the middle.
Another element of the Porsche identit y
is sound. Available as an option is the
BOSE® Surround Sound System with a
total output of 445 wat ts. In short, it
delivers powerful audio playback com ­
bined with an impressive spatial sound. No system promises such high standards
in the 911, and fulfils them, as the optional
High
­End Surround Sound System
from
Burmester
®, the bespoke manufacturer
based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. With a total output of 821
watts,
it ensures an incredible audio
experience.
Our patented integral subwoofer enhances
the bass performance of both optional
sound systems and also saves weight.
Typically Porsche.
Ergonomics, st yle and sound. Sports car
technology, intelligently combined. The instrument cluster with a high
­
resolution 4.6 ­inch TFT colour screen
provides you with a continuous stream of
data from the on ­board computer, such
as trip mileage, journey time or average
fuel consumption. It also displays the
navigation system map, delivers various
warnings, including alerts from the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system and, on 911 Carrera 4 models, tells you the
current front /rear axle torque distribution.
You can also use it to carry out individual
set tings.
