2017 Porsche Panamera - Dynamic Chassis Control Sport

New Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) is an active roll stabilisation system with an ultra sporty setup. It registers the lateral inclination of the body induced by cornering from the very outset and acts to suppress it. The system also reduces the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

The new system sees the introduction of active electromechanical anti-roll bars. These provide a much faster response and are tuned for sporty driving. The result: improved performance.

In combination with new PDCC Sport, PTV Plus enhances driving dynamics and stability. As a function of steering angle and steering speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, it improves steering response and precision by strategic braking of the right or left rear wheel. At high speeds and when accelerating out of corners, the electronically controlled rear differential lock with fully variable torque distribution also acts to provide greater driving stability and traction.

The overall result? Strong resistance to destabilising side forces for self-assured poise. Excellent traction. Great agility at every speed – with precise turn-in and well-balanced load transfer characteristics. And, accordingly, even more fun in the corners.
