How do we measure driving pleasure?
In rpm.
Drive.
Engine.
A naturally aspirated engine in the rear,
with six horizontally opposed cylinders.
For unadulterated performance.
The uprated 3.8-litre boxer engine in the
new 911 Targa 4 GTS with direct fuel
injection (DFI) and VarioCam
Plus
develops a might y 316 kW (430 hp) at
7,500 rpm, and achieves a maximum
torque of 440 Nm at 5,750 rpm.
The 911 Targa 4 GTS with optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) takes
a mere 4.3 seconds to sprint from
0 to 62 mph and delivers a top speed
of 187 mph.
Sports exhaust system.
Fit ted as standard, the sports exhaust
system makes the characteristic Porsche
sound even more resonant and even
more sport y. You can see it in the black
chrome-plated twin tailpipes, and hear it
in the even more powerful 911 sound,
which changes with driving behaviour.
During relaxed driving, the sound is
typically earthy but becomes distinctly
edgier with a sportier driving st yle. A
but ton in the centre console activates
the sports exhaust system – and makes
your spine tingle.

2 emissions, please refer to page 40.

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.
