Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package is fit ted as
standard and provides even sportier tuning
for the chassis, engine and transmission.
The package includes a performance
display, a digital and an analogue stopwatch
and the SPORT PLUS but ton.
On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,
Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM) and optional Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) switch to a sportier
suspension set ting and offer more direct
steering and, therefore, better roadholding.
The intervention threshold of Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM) is raised.
Braking in corners is noticeably more
agile and PSM now allows sportier braking
and exit acceleration.
In conjunction with PDK, the Sport Chrono
Package has two additional functions:
‘Launch Control’ to achieve the best
possible standing start, on the racetrack for example, and the ‘motorsport-derived
gearshift strategy’ for extremely short
shift times and optimum shift points for
the maximum acceleration available, and
a driving experience straight from
motorsport.
Dynamic engine mounts.
Dynamic engine mounts form part of the
Sport Chrono Package. The electronically
controlled system minimises the
oscillations and vibrations of the entire
drivetrain, particularly the engine, and
combines the benefits of a hard or soft
engine mounting arrangement.
The stiffness and damping properties of
the engine mounts adapt to changes in
driving style and road conditions. 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
provide a higher degree of comfort.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
PT V is fit ted as standard in conjunction
with the manual transmission,
or PT V Plus in conjunction with PDK.
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 intelligently braking
the rear wheels as the situation
demands.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PT V
and PT V Plus significantly increase agilit y
and steering precision. At high speeds
and under acceleration out of corners,
the rear differential lock acts to provide
greater driving stability.

A wolf in wolf’s clothing.
Comfort.
Conformist? Perhaps not, but the
911 Targa 4 GTS does afford its driver
plenty of puristic comfort and clever
ergonomics. In other words: all that
mat ters behind the steering wheel.
Instruments.
Sport y not kitsch, practical not fanciful.
The five circular instruments have one
purpose above all: to provide information.
They do so efficiently and accurately with
a st yling that is t ypically Porsche, and a
rev counter in the centre with the ‘GTS’
logo on the dial.
The instrument cluster with a high-
resolution, 4.6 -inch colour screen provides
you with a continuous stream of data
from the on-board computer.
SportDesign steering wheel.
The material: Alcantara. The style:
motorsport. The aesthetics: Porsche. In
conjunction with PDK, the standard-fitted
SportDesign steering wheel features
t wo gearshift paddles. These are made
from a strong alloy and are ergonomically
located behind the left- and right-hand
steering wheel spokes. Pull the right-hand
paddle and PDK shifts up. Pull the left-hand
paddle and PDK shifts down.
An additional display in the left- and right-
hand spokes indicates when the SPORT,
SPORT PLUS and Launch Control
functions are active. Thanks to its grip
mouldings, the steering wheel is in safe
hands, even on the sportiest of drives.

In the face of great art, words fail completely.
We’ll let the music do the talking.
Audio and communication.
Sound Package Plus.
The Sound Package Plus is fit ted as
standard. The system comprises a
separate amplifier with a total output of
235 wat ts, seven amplifier channels and
nine speakers, all of which combine to
create the perfect interior sound
experience.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
Fit ted as standard, Porsche
Communication Management (PCM) is
the central control centre for audio,
navigation and communication functions.
The main feature is the intuitive, high-
resolution, 7 -inch touchscreen. The CD/ DVD drive can play CDs and

audio DVDs, and supports audio playback
of video DVDs.
The universal audio interface (USB) in
the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source.
Recharging is also supported. Via the USB
port you can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook. You can also transfer up to
5,000 tracks (40 GB) in MP3 format to
the internal hard drive (or jukebox) of PCM
and play them from there. The navigation module of PCM with high-
speed hard drive features dynamic route
guidance, which recalculates the route in
response to official traffic messages
(TMC).
