Motorsports became important in the evolution of the grand touring concept, and grand touring entries are important in endurance sports-car racing. The grand touring car concept originated in Europe in the early 1950s, especially with the 1951 introduction of the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT, and features notable luminaries of Italian automotive history such as Vittorio Jano, Enzo Ferrari and Johnny Lurani. 7.8 1962–1965 International Championship for GT Manufacturers.7.6 1951 Campionato Gran Turismo Internazionale.The objective is to optimise overall performance, and to make the middle ground between sporty driving and comfort as expansive as possible.
pitch, roll and yaw, calculates optimum driving states from these data and synchronises all chassis systems in real time: the fourth dimension.
The integrated Porsche 4D Chassis Control system, which centrally analyses the driving situation in all three spatial dimensions, e.g. For example, the adaptive air suspension with three-chamber technology, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) and rear-axle steering. Upgraded, partly optional chassis technologies further enhance the driving characteristics. More performance, but above all more comfort – especially on more demanding tracks. This is because the chassis systems have been completely redesigned and, together with the even more precisely adjusted steering and the new generation of tyres, now offer more of both. The chassis of the Panamera models performs this balancing act between sport and comfort effortlessly – even more impressively than before. ** Important information about the all-electric Porsche models can be found here. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018.
Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. * Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law.
