For the first time, the new PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) chassis – which lowers the ride height by ten millimetres – is a standard feature on all Carrera models. It further improves stability during fast cornering. At the same time, the new shock absorber generation with its wider spread characteristics enhances comfort thanks to an even more precise response characteristic and also improves the body connection during dynamic driving. New standard wheels with five slender twin spokes have tyres with reduced rolling resistance and enhanced performance. Furthermore, on all variants the width of the rear rims has increased by 0.5 to 11.5 inches and the rear tyres of the 911 Carrera S now measure 305 instead of 295 millimetres.

The active rear-axle steering that is available as an option in the 911 Carrera S is chassis technology adopted from the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3. It further enhances the turn-in behaviour of the 911. In addition, it makes for high driving stability when changing lanes at high speeds. At the same time, it ensures better manoeuvrability in city traffic thanks to its smaller turning circle that has been reduced by 0.5 metres. The improved handling is transmitted to the driver via the new generation steering wheel with a design based on the steering wheel of the 918 Spyder. The basic steering wheel has a diameter of 375 millimetres, while the optional GT sports steering wheel measures 360 millimetres. For unlimited everyday practicality, Porsche offers a hydraulic lift system with integrated lifting cylinders in the struts of the front suspension. Pressing a button increases the ground clearance at the front by 40 millimetres within 5 seconds and thus prevents the vehicle underbody from hitting the ground, for example on steep garage exits.
