Get Chassis Guide for Porsche 911 2 Door Eighth Generation (2018-2026)

Chassis 57

Porsche Active Suspension Management

(PASM).

PASM is fitted as standard in all 911

models for the first time. Thiselectronic

damping control system continuously

adjusts the damping force on each

wheel, based on current road conditions

and driving style.

PASM has two modes, which can be

selected using a separate button on the

centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend

of performanceand comfort, and ‘Sport’

wherethe setup is much firmer.

The results are tangible: increased

driving stability, improved comfort and

enhanced performance.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

All 911 models are equipped with

enhanced Porsche Stability Management

(PSM) as standard. PSM maintains

stability even at the limits of dynamic

driving performance. Sensors

continuously monitor the direction,

speed, yaw velocity and lateral

acceleration of the car. Using this

information, PSM is able to calculate the

actual direction of travel at any given

moment and initiates strategic braking of

individual wheels to prevent you from

deviating from your intended line.

Under acceleration on inconsistent

surfaces, PSM improves traction using

the automatic brake differential (ABD)

and anti-slip regulation (ASR) functions.

The result is a high level of driving

stability and safety – and extraordinary

agility at the same time.

The road to the future has its ups and downs.

And its fair share of twists and turns.

Wheels.

T he 911

Carrera models and the

911

Targa 4 are equipped with 19-inch

wheels. These are lightweight alloys

featuring a classic sporty design.

All S models are equipped with 20-inch

alloy wheels. The visual effect is sporty

and dynamic. The tyres are wider to

cope with the increased power output of

these models.

The large wheel size improves traction

and track performance. Rolling resistance

and tyre weight are comparatively low,

which helps to reduce fuel consumption.

A selection of 20-inch wheels is available

in our range of options.

Electromechanical power steering.

Statistically, a car drives in a straight line

90 % of the time. In light of this, our

engineers identified potential for energy

savings. Unlike the hydraulic pumps of

conventional power steering systems, the

electric motor of the electromechanical

arrangement uses energy only when the

steering wheel is actually turned.

That isn’t to say that you aren’t ideally

prepared for the other 10 %. After all,

this steering system is typically Porsche.

It features a variable steering ratio and

responds sensitively and directly while

providing customary agility, a high level

of comfort and precisely selected

feedback from the road. Our definition

of efficient.

Power steering Plus.

The comfort-oriented Power steering Plus

is available as an option. At low speeds,

it adjusts for much easier manoeuvring

andparking.

Rear-axle steering.

Rear-axle steering is available on request

for all S models. Until now reserved

exclusively for the 911Turbo and 911 GT3

models, it enhances performance and

everyday practicality in equal measure.

For particularly nimble handling combined

with a significant increase in driving

stability.

The advantage for day-to-day driving:

during low-speed manoeuvres, the

system steers the rear wheels in the

opposite direction to that of the front

wheels. This has the virtual effect of

shortening the wheelbase. The turning

circle is reduced, cornering turn-in

becomes considerably more dynamic,

and parking is noticeably easier to

manage.

The advantage for sporty driving: during

high-speed manoeuvres, the system

steers the rear wheels in the same

direction as that of the front wheels.

Driving stability is increased by the

virtual extension of the wheelbase and

agility is enhanced by the simultaneous

steering of the front and rear axles. All

this has an impact on maximum driving

performance: an extremely positive one.

Front-axle lift system.

Particularly practical: the lift system,

available as an option for all 911

models,

raises the front end by approximately

40mm – and keeps it there up to a

speed of roughly 35km/h. With this new

system, kerbs, ramps and car park

entrances are a sporting challenge of the

past.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control

(PDCC).

PDCC – optional for all S models in

conjunction with rear-axle steering –

is an active anti-roll system that

suppresses lateral body movement

during cornering manoeuvres. In

addition, it minimises the lateral

instability of the vehicle on uneven

ground.

The results are improved dynamic

performance, even more neutral handling

and increased ride comfort – whatever

the speed.

In simple terms, the tyres and vehicle

hold the road better and you can steer

through corners faster and in a more

relaxed manner. Which is why PDCC sets

standards for driving performance, ride

comfort – and driving pleasure.

SPORT button.

The SPORT button enables you to select

a suspension setup where the emphasis

is on either comfort or sporty performance.

Atthe push of a button, the electronic

engine management system switches the

engine mapping to offer an even sharper

response and engine dynamics that are

more direct.

In vehicles with Porsche Doppelkupplung

(PDK), upshifts take place at higher

engine speeds and downshifts happen

sooner. If fitted, the optional sports

exhaust system is activated

automatically.

Sport Chrono Package.

Adrenaline at the push of a button, goose

bumps included: the functions of the

optional Sport Chrono Package enable

an even sportier tuning of the chassis,

engine and transmission – and launch

you to unprecedented sporty heights.

What’s new is the mode switch on the

steering wheel, derived from the

918 Spyder to make you feel closer to

the racetrack. Without your hand leaving

the steering wheel, you can choose any

of four settings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT

PLUS and Individual. Now you can adapt

the vehicle even more to the way you

want to drive.

On activation of SPORT PLUS mode,

Porsche Active Suspension Management

(PASM) and, in the S models, optional

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

and optional rear-axle steering adapt for

enhanced roadholding performance by

switching to a sportier damper setting

and offering more direct turn-in on

entering the corner.

In combination with PDK, the Sport

Chrono Package has three additional

functions. The first is ‘Launch Control’,

which can be used to achieve the best

possible standing start – a racingstart.

The second function is the motorsport-

derived gearshift strategy. In thismode,

Another few seconds faster.

Under the skin.

High-performance systems.

PDK is geared up for extremely short

shift times and optimum shift points for

the maximum acceleration available.

This combination of uncompromising and

involving performance is ideal for the

racetrack.

The third function – SPORT Response –

is brand new to the 911. Pressing the

button in the centre of the mode switch

primes the engine and transmission for th

fastest possible unleashing of power. In

other words, maximum responsiveness –

for a period of approximately 20 seconds.

A timer graphic in the instrument cluster

tells you how longis left.

Another component of the Sport Chrono

Package is the stopwatch mounted on

the dashboard. In conjunction with PCM,

a special performance display enables

you to view, store and evaluate lap times

or other driving times. It shows the total

driving time, lapdistance, lap number

and lap times recorded so far.

Dynamic engine mounts are also part

of the Sport Chrono Package. The

electronically controlled system

minimises the perceptible oscillations

and vibrations of the entire drivetrain,

particularly the engine, and combines

the benefits of a hard or soft engine

mounting arrangement. In short, it

enhances bothdriving stability and

driving comfort.

PSM Sport.

In conjunction with the optional Sport

Chrono Package, PSM is supplemented

by a ‘Sport’ mode. It allows a significantly

more sporty driving style, with PSM

remaining active in the background. For

a further enhancement to your driving

experience.

PASM sports suspension.

The PASM sports suspension is available

as an option for the S Coupé models.

Theride height is 10 mm lower than with

the PASM suspension. The springs are

harder and shorter, and the anti-roll bars

on the front and rear axles arestiffer.

The front spoiler lip has an even sportier

geometry, the rear spoiler extends even

more. Not only does this further reduce

lift at the front axle, it also provides

downforce at the rear axle for improved

aerodynamics and even better

performance – combined with a

surprisingly high level of comfort.
