2015 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4S manual transmission

Drive 49
7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shift
movements and an optimum transition
from one gear to the next. The 7-speed
manual transmission combines a high
level of sport y performance with fast
gear changes. In conjunction with the
optional Sport Chrono Package, selecting
SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode activates
the dynamic
throttle-blip function, which
ensures the optimum engine speed for
every downshift, a more emotional
driving experience and an impressive
sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter
reminds you which gear has been
selected. The upshift indicator in the
instrument cluster helps you actively to
conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
The optimised 7-speed PDK, featuring
both a manual and an automatic mode, is
available as an option and offers extremely
fast gear changes with no interruption in
the flow of power. And that ’s with even
faster acceleration performance and a
further reduction in fuel consumption.
A first for the 911
models: in manual
mode, the shift direction simulates that
of racing cars and the 911
GT3 models –
to the rear to shift up, forwards to shift
down. For a racetrack driving experience
wherever you are. Gears one to six have a sports ratio, with
top speed being reached in sixth gear.
Seventh gear is ratioed primarily for fuel
economy.
PDK is essentially t wo gearboxes in one.
This double-clutch arrangement provides
an alternating, non-positive connection
bet ween the t wo half gearboxes and the
engine by means of t wo separate input
shafts. The flow of power from the
engine is transmit ted through one half
gearbox and one clutch at a time, while
the next gear is preselected in the
second half gearbox. During a gear
change, therefore, one clutch simply
opens and the other closes at the same
time, enabling gear changes to take
place within milliseconds.
Always a few milliseconds ahead of time.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and
Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PTV (with manual transmission) or PTV Plus
(with PDK) is available as standard in
the S models and as an option for the
911 Carrera 4 models and the 911 Targa 4.
Both systems actively enhance vehicle
dynamics and stability. Operating in conjunction with a rear differential lock,
they work by intelligently braking the
rear wheels as the situation demands.

When the car is driven assertively
into a corner, moderate brake pressure
is applied to the inside rear wheel.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the
vehicle’s vertical axis. This results in
a direct and sport y steering action
from the turn-in point.
With PTV, the rear differential lock is
regulated mechanically, while PTV Plus is
equipped with electronic control offering
fully variable torque distribution. In
interaction with Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), the system improves
