When the ‘S’ moniker is involved, one can expect even greater excitement and enjoyment to ensue and when equipped with the “rapid-fire-gear-changes-without-zero-power-interruption” PDK transmission along with the optioned Sport Chrono Package, exhilaration heightens even more so as Launch Control is made available while the PDK system experiences immensely decreased shift times and favorable shift points for peak acceleration and with the option of having the open-air “in” makes the 911 experience that much more immediate.
