With Or Without PDCC 957 CTT Question?

Hi all

Ref the good old topic of with or without PDCC on the 957 CTT, having watched a video from another post on here I wanted to ask the question again because the comparison is between 955 CTT and a 957 CTT with PDCC so is that an unfair comparison?

I have an option on a very nice spec mid 2008 957 CTT but without PDCC and the deal is also good but I am wanting to come back to CTT ownership because they drive like nothing else!!

Is the 957 CTT a flatter drive than the 955 CTT and that PDCC just adds to the flatness or is the standard 957 CTT similar to the 955 CTT and its the PDCC that makes the big difference please? I drive it fairly hard but not like a race car and it will not be tracked.

Thanks

Carl

This question was covered recently on "rennlist" so you should take a look there. IMO, PDCC is fantastic, and I consider it a primary option that takes the cars handling to a level that's unsurpassed by anything else. Cayenne's without PDCC still handle great, much better than anything in its class, but those with PDCC just drive so much better.

If you can find one with PDCC, get it. I don't think after owning mine with PDCC I'd ever suggest to anyone to buy a Cayenne without it.

Test drive one with and without PDCC - I am willing to bet that once you experience it, you will not want to go without. Second favorite option behind the air suspension.

This isn't Rennlist. I would suggest that if he/she wanted to be on another forum, he/she would. I, for one, prefer here and not there. Therefore, his request here, should be answered here.

Carlos,

I have an 08 957TT with PDCC. I did test drive one without it. I really wanted it after the comparison. If you plan on pushing your Cayenne hard through the curvy roads, you would want this option. With it, the Cayenne really stays flat. No body roll/lean. It does make a difference.

Yes - standard. PDCC is a noticeable improvement IMO.

Unless he had the calipers custom painted Red. Then you are correct- NO PCCB.

PDCC is a must IME and as was said already, standard on the CTTS.

PDCC ≠ PCCB

He's referring to the ceramic braking system

The thread morphed from PDCC to PCCB and I didn't catch it... Thanks!
