Beginning from the B-pillars – the start of the
rear doors – the Sport Turismo features a
completely unique rear design. Above the
pronounced shoulder, an elongated window
line and equally long roof contour lend the
vehicle its striking appearance. At the rear, the
roof drops away much less dramatically than
the window line resulting in a prominent and
distinctive D-pillar, which transitions into the
shoulder section in a coupé-like fashion.
FIRST ADAPTIVELY EXTENDIBLE ROOF SPOILER
IN THE SEGMENT
At the top of the vehicle, the roof extends into
an adaptive spoiler. The angle of the roof
spoiler is set in three stages depending on the
driving situation and selected vehicle settings,
and generates an additional downforce of up
to 50kg on the rear axle. Up to a speed of
170km/h, the aerodynamic guide element –
a central system component of the Porsche
Active Aerodynamics (PAA) – stays in its
retracted position with an angle of -7 degrees,
which reduces drag and thus optimises fuel
consumption.
Above 170km/h, the roof spoiler automatically
moves to the performance position with an
angle of +1 degree, thereby increasing driving
stability and lateral dynam
