Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) is an active anti-roll system that further enhances the extraordinary roadholding and precision handling of Porsche vehicles. It anticipates and reduces lateral body movement during cornering maneuvers. In addition, it minimizes the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

This effect is achieved with the aid of hydraulic stabilizing actuators in the form of cylinders designed to optimize camber. Lateral roll is counteracted by forces generated at each individual...

Pure, direct, precise. Short shift movements and an optimum transition from one gear to the next. That's exactly what you would expect of a Porsche manual gearbox.

What you might not have expected is a 7-speed manual gearbox that combines a high level of sporty performance with an equally high level of efficiency and offers extra comfort for longer journeys. It's an exceptional innovation, and not only in the sports car segment.

Diesel powertrains are ubiquitous in Europe, and they're steadily growing in popularity here in the States. And it's no wonder, considering how far the technology has come in recent years. We're not going to lie to you and say that we haven't been just a bit jealous of the lucky drivers across the pond who've been able to purchase the Cayenne Diesel since 2009. Pretty soon, though, we won't...

How will Porsche take their first four-door luxury sedan and make it even better? How about boosting fuel-efficiency? Seems like the most plausible idea, considering that the German automaker recently announced a plug-in hybrid version of Porsche Panamera for 2014.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular for a lot of reasons. Drivers like them because the cost of gasoline is approaching $4-gallon. Automakers like them because they help boost the average fuel-economy of the entire...

For those of us old enough to remember when a five speed manual was the epitome of cutting edge technology, the very idea that an "automatic" could outperform an expert driver with manual transmission is pretty outlandish. But in recent years, Porsche has proven this to be the case, at least if the "automatic" in question is the astonishing Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).

Available as an option for the new 911 (991) models is new generation...

What's the new TechArt Porsche 911 look like? In a word: yellow.

Never mind the Black Alcantara and leather upholstery with contrasting yellow stitching to match the exterior: TechArt really gave a unique spin to the 911 they brought to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
