Sport Chrono Package Plus.
All 911 models can also be fitted 
with the optional Sport Chrono  
Package Plus.  It offers even 
 sportier tuning of the engine  
and chassis, and delivers 
ev en greater driving 
pleasure as a  result.
Incl uded in  the package are a 
 dig ital  and analog timer, the 
Sport button, a performance 
 display  and a personal 
 m emory function in Porsche

(PCM). Also incl uded—when 
f itted in  combination with Porsche 
 Doppelkupplung (PDK)—is the 
Sport Plus butto n, as  well  
as an additional display on the 
steering wheel, which indicates 
when the  Sport button or Launch 
Con trol has been enabled.
When the Sport button on the 
center  console is selected, the

map relates the pedal angle in the 
footwell to a much wider angle  
of opening on the throttle valve . 
Throttle response is significantly 
more immedi ate, and in the  
higher gears, a hard rev 
limiter helps protect the 
engine under  acceleration.
The optional  Porsche Activ e 
 Suspensio n Management 
(PASM) also switches to Sport 
mode for harde r damping and 
more direct steering, and, 
therefore, better  roadholding.
A hard rev limiter is also a pplied  
in the automatic mode of the 
 optional PDK, while gearshift 
points are delayed until the upper 
rev range. The shift times are 
shorter, the gear changes sportie r. 
At low rates of  deceleration— 
even with high engine speeds— 
the system initiates a swifter 
brake-induced downshift. In 
 manual mode, gear chang es  
are faster and more dynamic.
In Sport mode, the trigger 
 threshold for  PSM is raised   
for increased longitudinal and 
 lateral dynamics. Agility is 
 enhanced under braking for 
 corners with  PS M, enabling  
greater maneuverability under 
braking and exit acceleration, 
 especially at low speeds.
For maximum dexterity, PSM can 
be  set to standby whi le  the car  is 
still in Sport mode. For safety, it 
is set to intervene automatically 
only when ABS assistance is 
 required on both front whee ls.
In combination with PDK, the 
Sport Chrono Package Plus has 
two additional functions  that  
are activated by pressing the 
Sport Plus b utton, to take 
 driving to an even sportier level.

Launch Control is operated via  the 
Sport Plus butto n with the “D” or 
“ M” drive position selected . While 
the driver depresses the brake 
pedal with t he left foot, the right 
foot depresses the accelerator 
pedal to the floor. With the 
accelerator in the kickdown 
position, the system de tec ts the 
driver’s request for Launch mode 
and revs the engine to an optimal 
speed 
of approximately 6500 
rpm.  Engine torque increases 
a nd t he clutch closes sli ghtly. The 
message “Launch Control” appears 
in the PDK display on the steering 
wheel. 
The driver now quickly 
 releases the brake—and prepares 
for maximum acceleration.
The second function is the 
motorsport-derive d gearshift 
strategy. Using this, Porsche 
Doppel kupplung (PDK) is geared 
up  for extremely short shift times  
and optimal shift points for

for the racet rack.
A key component of Sport  
Chrono Packag e Plus is the 
timer mounted on the dashboard.  
Porsche Comm unication 
 Management (PCM) has a  special 
performance display for viewing, 
storing and evaluating lap times or 
other driving times. It shows the 
total driving time, lap distance, 
lap  number and t he lap times 
 recorded so far. You can view  
the current fastest lap and 
the remainin g ra nge until 
empty. 
 Traveled distances 
can be recorded and 
bench mark times defined.
The personal memory function 
of the Sport Chrono Package 
Plus can also be used to 
store personalized settings 
for a ra nge of  systems, 
including the orientation
