Porsche's new patents for dynamic wheel camber adjustment

Porsche has patented new technical solutions that allow for adjusting wheel camber while the vehicle is in motion. The company filed two recent patents with the German Patent Office, continuing work on an idea first documented back in 2023. The system involves electromechanical actuators that can tilt the wheel inward or outward without the car needing to stop.

The first patent describes integrating an actuator into the upper control arm of a double wishbone suspension, used on the Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 RS. In this configuration, the device acts on the top point of the steering knuckle, altering camber based on driving conditions. The second variant is designed for multi-link suspension, found on more comfort-oriented models like the Panamera and Taycan, and potentially allows control over both camber and toe alignment.

The patents note that the system can factor in data from acceleration sensors, steering inputs, road conditions, driving mode, tire type, and even GPS. For instance, on wet roads, camber can be reduced to maximize the contact patch, while in corners, it can be increased for better grip.

This technology is aimed not just at motorsport but also at road cars. However, Porsche acknowledges that the system complicates the suspension design and demands high reliability. If the solution makes it to production, it could become a key element in the development of sports cars for 2026, particularly those focused on track driving.
