I’ve optioned PTV Plus on my 4S (now in config freeze), and curious to hear anyone’s experience with it, good or bad. Although I’m locked into getting it at this point, in my excitement I’m constantly trying to learn more about what to expect from the drive, and there isn’t much firsthand driver info about how torque vectoring affects the ride. Thanks!

AI Overview

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) is a system that enhances vehicle dynamics and stability by distributing drive torque to the rear wheels using an electronically controlled rear-axle differential lock, applying brake pressure to the inside rear wheel when cornering.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • How it works:
    When a Porsche equipped with PTV Plus enters a corner, the system applies brake pressure to the inside rear wheel, which in turn, directs more torque to the outside rear wheel.

  • Benefits:
    This action induces a rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle's vertical axis, resulting in more direct and dynamic steering response, particularly during turn-in.

  • Electronic Control:
    PTV Plus uses electronic control for fully variable torque distribution, unlike standard PTV which uses a mechanical rear differential lock.

  • Models:
    PTV Plus is available on select Porsche models, including the 911 and Macan.

  • Examples of other cars with torque vectoring:
    Audi RS 3 (RS Torque Splitter), Ferrari SF90 Stradale, Hyundai i30 N, VW Golf R and Polo GTI (XDS).
