Sport M o d e
Function
A sportier car set-up is obtained when Sport mode
is switched on. Interventions by the Porsche
control systems are intentionally shifted tow ards
greater agility and driving performance.
– PASM (Porsche Active Suspension
Management) is automatical ly changed
to Sport mode, resulting in a stiffer suspens ion
setup.
– The Tiptronic S swi tches to a sporty gear-
changing map and shortens the gear shifting
periods. Gear changes take place faster.
– PSM (Porsche Stability Management) control
is sporty. PSM inter ventions are later than in
Normal mod e. The driver can maneuver the
vehicle with greater agility at its performance
limits, without havin g to dispense with the
assistan ce of PSM in emergency situations.
This helps to achieve optimal lap times,
par ticularly on race circuits with a dry road
surface.
– The electronic accelerator pedal reacts
sooner, and the engine is more responsive to
throttle inputs. When Sport mode is switched
on, this function is activated only after the
driver has briefly released the accelerator
pedal.
– The rpm limiter characteristic is “harder”, i.e.
the engine is immediately throttled when the
performance limits are reached.
Please observe the appropriate chapters PSM,
PASM and Tiptronic S.
Switching Spor t mode on and off
Press SPORT button in the center console.
When Sport mode is switched on, the light-
emitting diode in the SPORT button is lit.
When Sport mode is switched on, the logo SPORT
appears next to the digital speedometer.
Switching Sport mode on and off simultaneously
activates and deactivates the Sport mode of the
PASM.
If the Sport mode of the PASM was activated with
the PASM b utton, it will remain on.
After the ignition is switched off, Sport mode
and PASM Sport mode are automatically reset
to Normal mode.
