2013 PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 suspension

4342
Intelligent lightweight construction.
The innovative bodyshell of the 911 fulfils
t wo structural design requirements: first,
excellent driving dynamics due to the
body’s extremely high rigidit y; second, a
low vehicle weight primarily as a result of
the intelligent lightweight construction.
To achieve both goals, therefore, we used
very thin, but nevertheless extremely
rigid sheets of steel for the bodyshell.
In addition, aluminium was used exten -
sively in areas such as the underbody,
the front and rear ends, the doors, the
wings and the engine compartment
and luggage compartment lids, whilst
magnesium – a particularly lightweight
material – was selected for the front roof
elements of the new 9 11 Targa 4 models.

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard on the new
911 Targa 4S and available as an option
for the new 911 Targa 4. 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
button on the centre console: ‘Normal’,
which is 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, for
example. The PASM control unit evaluates
the driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.

SPORT button.
Exceptional design and a sport y character
are not mutually exclusive, as the SPORT
but ton proves. It enables you to select a
suspension setup where the emphasis is
on either comfort or sport y performance.
At the push of a but ton, the electronic
engine management system switches the
engine mapping to offer an even sharper
response and engine dynamics that are
more direct. In vehicles with
Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), upshifts take place at higher
engine speeds and downshifts happen
sooner. In addition, coasting mode

and the auto start/stop function are
automatically deactivated. If fitted, the
optional sports exhaust system is also
activated automatically.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is available as an
option. This integrated system provides
simultaneous enhancement for the chassis,
Art: very good.
Sport: excellent.
engine and transmission. Included in
the package are a performance display,
a digital and an analogue stopwatch and
the SPORT PLUS but ton. An additional
display in the steering wheel and instru
-
ment 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 new 911 Targa 4S,
the optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis
Control (PDCC) switch to a harder damping set ting and offer more direct steering
and, therefore, better road holding.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has two additional functions:
‘Launch Control’, which can be used on the
track to achieve the best possible stand -
ing start, and the ‘motorsport-derived
gearshift strategy’ featuring extremely
short shift times and optimum shift
points for maximum acceleration.
