With a torque of 430 Nm between 1,900 and 5,000 rpm, thanks to an optimization of the turbo and the exhaust manifold. True to the most purist users, they have a six-speed manual gearbox, but they are also offered with the dual-clutch PDK 7-speed automatic gearbox with the Sport Chrono package, the Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical rear differential and the active damping system Porsche Suspension Management (PASM). Which reduces the ground clearance by 10 mm.
