As for the PTM, can't they just reprogram the thing? It's just electronics, anyway .



This is right on the mark. Hardware wise, the GT-R's AWD isn't even that ground-breaking. It can transfer up to 50% of power to the front open diff, via a series of hydraulically actuated clutches. There is no lateral torque biasing.

The real magic appears to be with the programming - it would appear that programmers are doing more with the available sensors (reading yaw, etc.)

Since the Turbo also has yaw sensors, one would imagine there is scope for improvement.

But didn't they want to make the 997 Turbo a more "lively" car, compared to the 996 which was too "safe" for some people?



People who are serious about tracking their 997TTs are installing 996TT-type AWD into their cars to replace the PTM. The Turbo is supposed to be the everyday supercar, not a tail-happy deathtrap . We have the GT2 for that .
