In the case of a Porsche, this status can change very rapidly through strong acceleration or the exceptional brakes. At the same time, specifically designed acoustics can assist the driver in assessing and interpreting this performance spectrum more precisely.” Now you might think that the rear and mid-engine model lines – the 911 One thing that the sound makes clearer is acceleration.

This sense of speed makes “But the core of our activities remains the same: we make audible what it much easier for the driver to assess the appropriate limits. With largely the engine is doing, although the V-engine series make for a more subdued decoupled acoustics, the driver can only rely on the speedometer, whose spectrum.
