Lots. Not that you would notice. At least not in the 911.

For instance, when you shift gear with Porsche ­Doppelkupplung (PDK). The gear is changed. In ­milliseconds. Without any interruption in the flow of power.

The same goes for Porsche Traction Management (PTM). It reacts to the ­driving situation at lightning speed.

The cause: advanced ­engineering. The effect: unsurpassed.

Nevertheless, our efforts in development do not concern themselves solely with the hunt for the highest horse power, but with the search for efficiency.
