The 911 | Chassis
Steering-wh eel d ispl ay in combination with PDK and Sp ort Chrono Package Plus
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 used, for
ex ample, on the track t o
achieve the best standing start
possible—a racing start.
