PDCC vs PDCC Sport - is it the same?

[andyk278]

I've seen and received conflicting information on this so I'm hoping this group can help. Is there a difference between PDCC and PDCC Sport?

I'm looking at used 2022 Turbo or Turbo S and was told that PDCC is standard on all of them. Is that true? I was told that PDCC Sport is a more aggressive version of PDCC. I’ve seen several Turbos with PDCC Sport but not of them list PDCC.

PDCC is just a simpler way of writing Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport afaik.

It is optional, certainly here in the UK, and the actual setting it applies varies depending on which mode you are in.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control operates with active roll stabilization that reduces lateral body movement during cornering maneuvers. It also has the ability to mitigate lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven surfaces. In other words, the tires and vehicle grip the road better and you can steer through corners faster and in a more composed fashion. You’ll experience dynamic performance and increased ride comfort across all speeds in addition to optimized turn-in and stable load transfer characteristics.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport), available on models such as the 911 Turbo and Panamera S E-Hybrid, offers a more sport-focused setup to deliver track-inspired handling characteristics. Through the use of active electromechanical anti-roll bars, PDCC Sport offers enhanced response for improved performance.

That is from the general Porsche literature if I remember correctly.

The bit in the Taycan specific section is:-

"PDCC Sport active roll stabilisation: quick to react and efficient

The active roll stabilisation system, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport), uses electromechanical anti-roll bars. When required, the system reacts in just 200 milliseconds in order to stiffen the anti-roll bars to prevent the body from rolling. This makes PDCC more than 30 per cent faster than similar systems using hydraulic actuators. A further advantage is the lower energy consumption of the system, which is particularly important for an electric vehicle and allows the electric range to be optimised."

I did specify it on my CT4S after being advised to do so by one of the Porsche Ambassadors I know, I wouldn't have if he hadn't been surprised about the omission because it was a relatively expensive option, but now, having driven my car on our dire local roads for 2 years, I am glad I have it and consider it relatively inexpensive compared to going up a model for more power, which isn't much use around here.

Hey all, thanks for the replies but I must've worked my question poorly. I understand what PDCC is, but what I am trying to understand is if there is a difference between "PDCC" and "PDCC Sport". I was told by a dealer that they are different but I can't find any info online that supports that. Thanks!

It the regular dealer bullshit.
Taycan are only equipped with « PDCC Sport » ie electromechanical anti-roll bars as opposed to hydraulic bars for the regular PDCC… the result is supposed to be faster et more energy efficient.
So… only PDDC Sport in Taycan. In other words if you find one with PDCC you’re good to go.

That is what I tried to answer in my first reply.
PDCC varies between Porsche models and also between mode settings, so on the Taycan the actual response between, say, Normal on a 4S will be different to that in Sport+

They are slightly different hence why I posted the full blurb which describes both.

Doubt you can tell the difference and may be a moot point as I don't think you get a choice per model.

Porsche Actiive Ride (PAR) replaces it.

I have it on the Taycan and they market it as PDCC Sport and it is not standard on any Taycan model anywhere as it was standalone or part of a pack in the US. Porsche markets and names this feature and others differently for different models but you only get one version of it. I wonder why does it matter what they call it. For example, PTV is for 911 and PTV+ is for Macan ICE as you do not get to choose between the two when you spec them.

Thanks to all of you for the replies. That makes sense. Looks like I was getting bad info from one of the dealers that claimed that "PDCC" was standard on the Turbos and that "PDCC Sport" was the upgrade.
