Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
The optional PASM is an electronic damping control system. The system continuously adjust the damping force on each wheel, based on driving style and current road conditions. The body is also lowered by 10mm. PASM has two modes, which can be selected using a 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.
PASM sports suspension.
The 718 GTS 4.0 models are equipped with the PASM sports chassis. The body is lowered by 20 mm. The springs are harder and shorter and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. The result: direct, agile handling and top cornering performance. For a little more ground clearance and comfort, the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with 10 mm lowering is available at no extra cost.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
All 718 models are equipped with enhanced Porsche Stability Management (PSM) – an automatic control system for maintaining stability at the limits of dynamic driving performance. PSM improves traction under acceleration on inconsistent road surfaces. The result is a high level of driving stability and safety – and extraordinary agility at the same time.
Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
Optional on the 718, 718 Style Edition and 718 S models, standard on the 718 GTS 4.0 models: Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). The system for increasing driving dynamics and stability works with variable standard torque split on the rear wheels and a mechanical rear differential lock. What does this mean for you? Considerable lateral dynamic vehicle stability and exceptional traction. Great agility at any speed – with precise steering response and balanced load alteration behaviour. What else? Tremendous fun in bends.
Electromechanical power steering.
A direct steering system that lives up to its name. The direct steering ratio ensures agile turn-in and a sporty driving experience – with the usual high level of comfort. The comfort-orientated Power steering Plus is available as an option.
