  • The Air-cooled Porsche 911's were the last analog 911 and had no nanny systems to save you. However there was an option on the 993 to add traction control called ABD. Lets take a look

    This literally has to be the most important video I have watched this year, I can't believe I've lived my life without knowing about ABD, thank you for saving my life Nick.

    ABD was standard on C4, C4S, Turbo, and Carrera RS, and came as part of the LSD option 220.

    I learned something new - ABD very cool. Had no idea a 911 before a 996s had that sort of early tech. On another note I love how I'm thinking it's mostly Smudge riding shotgun (stealing the limelight) then Tui wakes up. Two dogs in the 993 is the best

    Talk about most important videos I have watched this year 🙂 I have been driving Cayennes my whole life, had E1, E2 and and E3 now, and until recently never knew that if you pull the hand brake lever while driving it acts as an emergency brake.... never knew this as I was brought up never to pull the handbrake if not necessary and this is a button so I never pulled it, but now I know. I told the wife that if I ever get an heart attack and she wants to stop the car, she can pull the handbrake button and bobs your uncle....

    I guess this is the early version of the now famous PTV if I'm not mistaken.
    I suppose the reason for the system not coming on so often is the 911 advantage when it comes to traction.
    Having all that weight ( engine + transmission ) sitting on the rear axle pushes the tires into the ground.
    Love the 993 by the way.

    My 996 has the Sports option package that includes a 220 Limited Slip Differential and 224 ABD Automatic Braking Differential.
    But I don’t think there’s a light when it engages.
    Or maybe I’ve never set it off 😂

    Nick, do you also have option M220: 40% Limited Slip differential?
    ABD (option M224) acts on the rear brakes, not the throttle, to slow down a spinning wheel. However, this only works at up to 44mph.
