Why?
Sports car makers adore corners. With our technologies, we are forever fanning the flames of the relationship. PTV Plus is an optional system for enhancing both driving dynamics and stability.
Operating in conjunction with an electronically regulated rear differential lock, it works by varying the torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the car is driven into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel as the situation demands. Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle's vertical axis. The effect is a direct and sporty steering action. And considerable driving pleasure at every twist and turn.
At low and medium vehicle speeds, PTV Plus significantly increases agility and steering precision. At high speeds on the straight, and in fast corners where the wheels threaten to spin, the electronically controlled rear differential lock provides added driving stability. Stability is also improved on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.
Optional for all Macan models

Pads maybe, discs surely not. On a performance car you would expect more.ÂThe brakes on the GTS are phenomenal but over just 3k miles progressive wear hasn't really been tested.Funny though at the PEC 2 weeks ago I drove a 911 Carrera S for 6-7 laps on the short circuits until the brakes over heated and we had to go for a few trips down Ice Hill to cool them down. Now I know that the brakes take a bit of a hammering on those circuits but after 7 laps for the brakes to give up on a £90k performance car?
