Porsche 911 Turbo S - All-wheel drive taken to new heights

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

All-wheel drive has been engineered into every generation of 911 over three decades, combining rewarding driving dynamics with reassurance and vital traction. First applied in experimental form on the ground-breaking 959 supercar, #porsche then applied the lessons learned to the 911 Carrera 4 (Type 964) in 1988, the first series production #porsche with all-wheel drive, and the drivetrain configuration has been fundamental to the company’s success since.

All-wheel drive is naturally at the core of the Macan and Cayenne, where covering ground quickly, whatever the road surface is part of the core appeal of these sporting #suv models.

The Panamera Gran Turismo and Sport Turismo also offer the attraction of four-wheel traction, to further broaden their versatility and customer appeal. And the most innovative application of the technology was applied to the 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid super sportscar, the front and rear axles of which were driven.

An attempt to span the greatest changes in elevation

However, nowhere are the advantages of the latest #porsche Traction Management (PTM) system more apparent than in the latest – and ultimate – incarnation of the all-wheel drive 911 – the Turbo S. Its ability to cope with diverse climates and conditions makes it one of the most capable and exhilarating performance cars at any price – as was proved recently, when it embarked on a unique, challenging drive that best summed up these abilities; an attempt to span the greatest changes in elevation possible by a vehicle in the UK.

A #911turbos started its journey at Holme in Lincolnshire, a place which, at 10 feet below sea level, has the distinction of being the lowest point in the UK. Ahead of it was the drive to Glenshee in the Scottish Highlands, taking in a mix of roads and weather conditions, culminating in sub-zero, snow-laden surfaces; and, of course, a dramatic change in elevation.
