Technical characteristics of Porsche cars

Horizontally opposed (boxer) engines with air cooling are among the main features of this brand’s cars. Due to the small weight, this engine is optimal for a sports car. It helps reduce the centre of gravity, which has a positive impact on the stability and steerability of the vehicle. Porsche cars have rear-engine layout, which makes winter driving easier. Moreover, this extra weight mounted in the back allows more braking power to be transmitted to the rear wheels. The 6-cylinder horizontally opposed engines are characterised by high performance and fuel efficiency. The 2.7-litre capacity engine used on the Boxster roadster and Cayman (981) coupe, won the “International Engine of the Year” award in 2013, judged by a panel of automobile journalists from around the world. The Cayman has an output of 275 hp, while the maximum torque equals 290 N·m at a range of 4500–6500 rpm.

Car parts for Porsche models are constantly improving. For example, the PDK stepless gearbox was designed in the 1980s and reinvented in 2013. A double clutch is mounted in its casing, which transmits the torque to two separate transmissions. The PDK improves the car’s manoeuvrability while also increasing its fuel efficiency. The system was upgraded especially for the high-performance coupe 991 GT3 2013. The engineers introduced an option to switch to neutral using paddle shifters. When negotiating a turn, the driver can press the paddles to ensure stability of the rear wheels on the road. Algorithms adapted for race track conditions are active in the Race Track mode.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is designed to reduce body vibrations increase comfort. It adjusts the suspension characteristics to the current driving style and road conditions. Sensors assess the body vibrations that occur when manoeuvering and going over sections of road with rough surfaces. You can find this suspension control system on the Panamera 971 5-door liftback. Three operating modes are available for this model: Normal, PASM Sport and PASM Sport Plus.
