1.11 Dynamic engine mounts

Engine 1

ESC: Electronic Stability Control TC: Traction Control In contrast to the previous model, the new 911 GT3 comes with dynamic engine mounts as standard equipment. In order to enhance driving dynamics, the variable engine mounts adjust their rigidity and damping automatically depending on the driving situation. This is still done using a magnetorheological liquid and an electrically generated magnetic field. By applying a defined electric current, a magnetic field is generated and the particles in the fluid are aligned to a greater or lesser extent. This changes the viscosity of the fluid, thereby making the engine mounts harder or softer.

Thanks to their variability, the dynamic engine mounts improve not only driving dynamics, but also driving comfort by reducing the vibrations transmitted from the entire drive unit to the body. The dynamic engine mounts have been enhanced and the setup range between very sporty tuning and day-to-day usability has been further increased.

The switching strategy of the dynamic engine mounts has been changed. Unlike the previous model, the function maps are not changed using the PSM function buttons (ESC OFF and ESC+TC OFF), but using the PASM button for the variable dampers. The new 911 GT3 thus has sporty engine mounts when the PASM button is not pressed and performance-oriented engine mounts when the PASM button is pressed.
