Adaptive Brake Lights?

Do all of the CTT's have adaptive brake lights? I could not find info on the Porsche site or in the manual that clearly spells it out?

I thought that i read somewhere back when I was searching that all the new 2011+ have the adaptive breaks.
Meaning they flash when you go from gas to break real fast and depending how much break you give it....

but I am not sure if mine does this or not, because well, I am always the driver and haven't ever seen another do it in real life...

please post a video or something if you find this. And don't be confused on the video camera mistaking the flashing adaptive breaks when in fact it is just how the camera's processing interprets the break lights...

I've seen them on the video of the CTT racing with the 911TT at the Porsche test track but have not seen it in real life either. There is an option to get the dark tint LED tailliights with Adaptive LED but there is no mention if at is on all of them. It would make sense that it is on them all but I've not yet found out for certain.

I think that video which I think I've seen the same one, but I think that is a false eye perception, because of how the camera was recording. when recording led lights the camera processes them flashing when in real life they aren't....

who knows..

Yeah the frame rate of most consumer camcorders will make LED's look like they're flashing.

This one time when we were stuck in LA traffic, I pressed the brake a little faster than normal, emergency brake assist kicked in and startled all the passenger in the car (and me). I guess that's when adaptive brake lights would start flashing but only the car behind me knows...
