ifferential Lock
PT V Plus is standard on all new
911 Turbo models: The system actively
enhances vehicle dynamics and
stability and operates, in conjunction
with an electronic rear differential lock, by varying the distribution of
torque applied to the rear wheels.
By constantly monitoring steering
angle and steering speed, accelerator
pedal position, yaw rate, and vehicle
speed, PT V Plus is able to improve
steering response and steering precision by specific braking of
the right or left rear wheel.
Here’s how it works: When the
911 Turbo is driven assertively into
a corner, moderate brake pressure
is automatically applied to the inside
rear wheel. Comparatively, the outside
rear wheel receives a greater amount of drive force distribution, inducing
an additional rotational pulse (yaw
movement) around the vehicle’s
vertical axis. This results in a direct
and sport y steering response as
the 911 Turbo enters the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds,
PTV Plus significantly increases
agilit y and steering precision. At high
speeds and when accelerating out of
corners, the rear differential lock, with
infinitely variable torque distribution,
ensures greater driving stability.The system thus interacts with Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) to improve
driving stabilit y on a range of surface
conditions, including water and snow.
What does all this mean for the
911 Turbo driver? Outstanding traction,
as well as greater agilit y at every
speed with precise steering and
stable load transfer characteristics.
In other words, unrivaled driving
pleasure at every t wist and turn.

Sport Button
Standard on all new 911 Turbo models,
the Sport but ton enables you to select
a suspension setup to emphasize 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. In conjunction with
the Sport Chrono Package (standard
in the 911 Turbo S and the new
911 Turbo S Cabriolet), the overboost
function is then active and the dynamic
engine mounts become much firmer.
In Sport mode, PDK ensures that
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts happen sooner.
Coasting mode and the Auto Start
Stop function are deactivated.
Sport Chrono Package Including
Dynamic Engine Mounts
The Sport Chrono Package including
dynamic engine mounts is standard in
the 911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the new 911 Turbo. This
integrated system provides simultaneous
enhancement for the chassis,
including rear-axle steering, engine,
transmission, and aerodynamics.
The main features include a digital
and analog stopwatch mounted on the
dashboard, a performance display in the
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) system, the Sport Plus but ton,
and the overboost function.
Activate Sport Plus mode and here’s what
happens: Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM), the electronic
suspension management, becomes more responsive. PASM and Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC)—standard in the
new 911 Turbo S—switch to Sport Plus
mode for a firmer suspension set ting,
more direct steering while cornering, and
increased roll stabilization. The rear-axle
steering also reacts more directly—for
even more agile steering. As part of
Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PA A),
the automatic adjustment of the front
and rear spoilers is also impacted in
the performance setting in Sport Plus
mode. So you can make full use of the
performance potential of your 911 Turbo.
In Sport Plus mode, the trigger threshold
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
i

s
still in Sport Plus mode. Although, for
safet y, it ’s still there in the background. With the Sport or Sport Plus but ton
active, under full acceleration, the
maximum boost pressure in the
lower and medium speed ranges
is now temporarily increased by
approximately
2 psi: the overboost.
Engine torque is also boosted
by 37 lb.-ft. for a short time—to
524 lb.-ft. in the 911 Turbo and the
911 Turbo Cabriolet. In the 911 Turbo S
models, it goes up to 553 lb.-ft.
The Sport Chrono Package has t wo
additional functions. The first is
Launch Control, which helps achieve
optimal acceleration from a standing
start. The second function is the
motorsport-derived gearshift strategy.
Using this, PDK optimizes shift
points to the shortest possible shift
times for maximum acceleration.

1 Dynamic engine mounts
With the dynamic engine mounts
that are part of the Sport Chrono
Package, Porsche engineers have
resolved this inherent conflict.
The mounts contain a fluid with
magnetic properties that interact Dynamic Engine Mounts
Engineers traditionally face a conflict
when designing the engine mounts
of a performance car. A hard engine
mounting delivers optimal performance
by offering a higher degree of handling precision. Soft engine mounts, on
the other hand, minimize oscillations
and vibrations. Comfort is improved
on uneven road surfaces, but at the
expense of razor-sharp performance.
with an electrically generated field.
Depending on the driving st yle and road
surface conditions, the electronically
controlled system automatically
adjusts the stiffness and damping
properties of the engine mounts.When the driving st yle is assertive, the
mounts become “hard,” and handling
is perceptibly more stable under load
change conditions and in fast corners.
Whenever a less assertive driving st yle
is adopted, the dynamic engine mounts “soften” to provide a more comfortable
feel. The dynamic mounts minimize the
oscillations and vibrations of the entire
drivetrain, especially the engine.
For the driver, the results are
tangible. A harder-edge handling
response when you demand it, a more
comfortable ride when you don’t.

The chassis on the new 911 Turbo
features a longer wheelbase and
an even wider track. But make no
mistake: The 911 Turbo is still about
shortening distances: bet ween entry
and exit, bet ween one cit y and the next,
bet ween you and driving pleasure.
Changes to the chassis dimensions on
the new 911 Turbo enable smoother high-
speed maneuvers and exceptionally high
levels of stability. Its cornering agility
can scarcely be described in words. The new rear-axle steering transforms
the cornering feel of the new
911 Turbo. Handling is much more
responsive at low speeds. And at
higher speeds, stabilit y is increased.
Other contributions to the 911 Turbo
driving experience are made by its
chassis control systems: Porsche
Stability Management (PSM), Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM),
and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC), which is standard in the new
911 Turbo S models and available
as an option for the 911 Turbo and
the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet.
Each of these systems is detailed
in the following pages. For now,
all you need to know is: Longer
and wider is a good thing.
Longer and wider, it still gets to the point in the shortest amount of
time possible.

Responsibility.
With great power comes great responsibility. To yourself, and to your
passengers. To those who share the road. To future generations and the
environment. At Porsche, we believe the actions we take must reflect
those responsibilities. And that our cars must turn engineering
challenges into opportunities, so Porsche and Porsche drivers can
contribute to a safer, more sustainable world.

Responsibility | Brakes
1 Standard brakes in the 911 Turbo
Why has Porsche always viewed braking
performance with the same enthusiasm
we share for our engines and chassis?
Perhaps it is because we think of braking
as negative acceleration. For us, braking
response and the stopping distances
achieved by the new 911 Turbo models
should be every bit as breathtaking as
our throt tle response and acceleration
times. A Porsche 911 Turbo model’s
goal is nothing less than to be the
new reference point for sports car
braking. The braking performance must
provide the driver ample reassurance
that when speed needs to be shed,
the brakes will respond accordingly. In the new 911 Turbo and the new
911 Turbo Cabriolet, the brake
specification is suited to the demands
of high performance. The brake disc
diameter is 380 mm front and rear.
Grabbing hold of the front discs are
powerful 6-piston, aluminum monobloc
fixed calipers finished in red. At the
rear, 4-piston, aluminum monobloc fixed
calipers press the pads to the disc.
The brake calipers have an enclosed
monobloc construction. This makes them
tougher but lighter and enables a more
rapid response and release of the brake,
even under extreme loads. The pedal
travel is short and the biting point precise. The brake discs are cross-drilled for
better performance in wet conditions.
Other benefits of the braking system
include the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), designed to minimize brake fade
and keep braking response constant.
Pedal effort is reduced and braking
response improved by a tandem
vacuum brake booster. Brake-disc
cooling is optimized by air spoilers.
Electric Parking Brake
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away.
A performance isn’t finished until it comes to a complete stop.
Brakes.
With the hill-hold function, you can pull
away without ever rolling back. The
system automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill
gradient, requiring intervention. PSM
then maintains the brake pressure at
all four wheels to prevent the vehicle
from moving in the opposite direction.
