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.

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.
