The PASM chassis with an electronically controlled damper system increases stability during fast cornering while also improving comfort – thanks to a new generation of dampers with a wider range of characteristics and greater responsiveness.
The rear-axle steering¹ included as standard with GTS models enhances performance and day-to-day usability in equal measure. At low speeds, it makes maneuvering or turning easier. At higher speeds, it increases driving stability.
PTV Plus enhances vehicle dynamics and stability by applying brake pressure to the rear wheels, in conjunction with a rear differential lock. For increased stability, outstanding traction and high agility.
For active roll stabilization, the optionally available Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)¹ minimizes the lateral inclination of the vehicle during dynamic cornering. For improved driving dynamics, even more neutral handling and increased ride comfort.
The Matrix Design LED Headlights including 4-point daytime running lights that come as standard shine with finely drawn light bars and enable dynamic dimming for oncoming traffic. The optional HD-Matrix Design LED Headlights with 4 individual modules also make the 911 recognizable even in the dark thanks to the characteristic Porsche 4-point design.
The even wider wheels bring the impressive performance to the road in style. Forged 20-inch (front) and 21-inch (rear) RS Spyder wheels, painted in Anthracite Gray – including wheel hubcap with colored Porsche Crest – are available on request for particularly dynamic elegance.
What started out as a compromise to comply with new safety regulations in the USA quickly became a classic: for many Porsche fans, the 911 Targa is the most beautiful 911 of all. The fully automatic roof system with iconic Targa roll bar combines the safety of a closed coupé with the incomparable feeling of freedom behind the wheel of an open convertible.
The Sport Chrono package, including stopwatch, Porsche Track Precision App and tire temperature display, maximizes the anticipation of new best times in the 911 Targa 4S on request. The Drive Mode switch is finished with knurling in Brilliant Black. Pressing the Sport Response button prepares the engine and gearbox for the fastest possible unleashing of power. In SPORT PLUS mode, Launch Control also ensures pure adrenaline rushes from the word go.
The ignition switch on the left side has been part of the 911 since Porsche's legendary starts in the Le Mans 24 hour race, just like its iconic shape. The new 911 interprets this legend in a contemporary way: with an engine start button in place of the previously common rotary switch for starting and stopping the engine.
The multifunctional GT Sport steering wheel, including gearshift paddles in Black and steering wheel rim in leather, now has a Drive Mode switch as standard for choosing different driving modes. This means that every available driving mode – with the exception of Normal mode – can be personalized quickly and easily on the steering wheel directly, for even sportier tuning of the engine, chassis and gearbox.
The integrated App Center enables the use of numerous apps such as video streaming on the high-resolution 10.9-inch touchscreen display of Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
The 3D display allows the driver to influence the perspective displayed, resulting in a better all-round view. Images are displayed on the screen of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
Alerts the driver to vehicles rapidly approaching from behind or vehicles travelling at the same speed in potential blind spots. The warning is emitted by lights in the exterior mirrors. The function is activated by the driver using Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and is available from approximately 19+ mph. Below this speed range, Turn Assist (rear) also comes to the driver's aid by monitoring the area to the rear of the vehicle in turning situations.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses the rear radar and, where system limitations allow, warns the driver when reversing slowly of oncoming traffic when the parking aid is activated. The system warns, for example, of critically approaching vehicles when leaving a perpendicular parking space. The information is provided in stages – visually on the PCM screen, audibly and, if necessary, with a warning jolt of the brakes.
The system automatically detects parking spaces. Once the system has signaled that the parking space is a sufficient size, the driver can initiate and control the parking process while still in the vehicle. The system automatically takes over the steering as well as the forward and backward movement of the vehicle. The Active Parking Support is able to park the vehicle in parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.
