Upgrade Your Porsche Steering Wheel
Porsche uses rear-axle steering in its street cars because it has a better balance between low-speed agility and high speed stability. However, it can lose that intuitive nth degree of feel that so many drivers love to experience. That is why many drivers choose to upgrade their steering wheel. With a Genuine Porsche Steering Wheel, your car becomes an extension of you and offers more precise handling while allowing you to easily navigate any curve.
Aside from the obvious benefits that rear-axle steering provides, it is also cheaper and easier to install than a traditional hydraulic system. It eliminates the need for a hydraulic pump in the engine bay, fluid lines to the steering gear (a fair distance apart on a 911 of course) and is essentially maintenance free.
The software that controls the system varies the assistance based on the steering angle, yaw rate and other information available through the car’s CAN to vary the ‘weight’ of the steering wheel. This allows the engineers in Weissach to tune the steering for each individual vehicle while keeping the basic hardware the same.
While this is a fairly complex piece of engineering the result is impressive. Porsche claims that the new system is 10 percent more direct than a Panamera with a conventional steering set-up. The difference is clear, especially when turning a corner at a high speed.
Whether you are driving a Porsche on the racetrack or a road trip around Menlo Park, you want to be able to control your car to perfection. A Porsche steering wheels is the key to unlocking your vehicle’s potential.
