torque vectoring
how does the torque vectoring work on porsche? is it brake only system and does that wear out rear pads? can ptv be turned on and off with a dash button? how important is it to have for an advanced hpde driver?
thanks

Maybe trail braking will cause the PTV system to activate less frequently - not sure...

thanks that exactly what i needed to know. i will skip the $1500 option along with the extra rear pads and rotors

And on other models, skipping the PTV means skipping the limited slip differential (something you want, unless getting an aftermarket LSD)

yes, you do. At least on the Macan I would skip the option. It’s not on my wife’s and it does fine 8n the rain or snow.

is the lsd something that will overheat and cause problems?
i had nothing but trouble w lsd on my 997 gt3.
i will not be pushing macan hard on track by any means. i use lotus for track and will only take macan if bad weather, family coming w me, etc. 2-3 times/yr at most. im experienced instructor and will only drive it at mild/moderate level

Since you live in NY, the LSD will really help snow performance too (not just traction under power, but PTV would be great for steering in snow/ice). Nothing worse than understeer in slippery conditions...
