Default Dynamic engine and transmission mounts on 718

Is PADM available on all 718 models ? Can’t find much information online. Thanks.

Comes with Sport Chrono; pretty sure it's not separately available. Thus, optional on base and S, standard on GTS. I'm speaking about the T4 models; I figure it likely comes on the 4.0GTS as part of Sport Chrono also.

It does, and a sweet option it is. Made a discernible ride difference on the 718.

Ah ok, I have the base 718 but has the Sports Chrono package. So most likely it has the dynamic engine and transmission mounts then. Just curious since DSC sport V3 controller stated it improve the mount controls.

The cayman/boxster only have dynamic transmission mounts. The 911 only has dynamic engine mounts. It’s the rear mounts on the power train that are dynamic. The forward mount is a hard rubber mount. There some replacements to replace the rubber and stiffen up the front mount.

The dsc sport does control the mounts and allow you to adjust them given the loads on the car.

Yep, if you have Sports Chrono which comes with the dynamic mounts the DSC V3 will progressively tighten the mounts depending on load with full lock near maximum load.

With the DSC software you can progam the behaviour of the mounts independently for normal and sport mode and set the progression/threshold and/or lock points, or even have them locked all the time if you are at the track.

Would be interesting to know the Porsche algorithm for the PADM.

Yes, they come with the Sport Chrono package.

EDIT: Weird, all the other replies didn't show up until after I posted my reply.
