the remaining range until empty.
It is also useful away from the
racetrack. Evaluate your daily
mileage or define benchmark
times – and rediscover your old
routes. in hours, minutes and seconds.
Seconds, tenths and hundredths
of a second appear on a display
screen. Alternatively, the timer
can be used as a conventional
clock. Porsche Communication
Management (PCM, p. 106) has
a special performance display
to view, store and evaluate lap
times or other driving times. It
shows the total driving time,
lap distance, lap number and lap
times recorded so far. You can
view the current fastest lap and
more direct steering, and, there-
fore, better road holding. The
optional adaptive air suspension
(standard in the Panamera Turbo)
drops the chassis to a lowered
level and hardens the spring rate.
In ‘Sport Plus’ mode, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for
increased longitudinal and lateral
dynamics. Agility is enhanced
when braking for corners with
PSM enabling greater manoeuvra-
bility under braking and exit
acceleration, especially at low
speeds.
For maximum dexterity, PSM
can be set to standby while the
car is still in ‘Sport Plus’ mode.
For safety, it is set to intervene
automatically only when ABS
assistance is required on both
the front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package Plus is the timer
mounted on the dashboard. It
displays recorded driving time
Package Plus (only in conjunction
with Porsche Communication
Management – PCM). This pack-
age offers even sportier tuning
of the chassis and engine setup –
the ultimate sports experience.
Included in the package are
a digital and analogue timer,
the Sport Plus button, and
a performance display in the
PCM for displaying lap times.
When the ‘Sport Plus’ button on
the centre console is selected,
the engine management system
adapts for performance driving
and the rev-limiter is adjusted to
a harder setting.
The standard Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM)
also switches to ‘Sport Plus’
mode for harder damping and
upshifts in automatic mode take
place at higher engine speeds
than in ‘Comfort’ mode and down-
shifts are swifter.
In addition, Porsche Active Sus-
pension Management (PASM) and
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) also switch to Sport mode
to deliver harder damping and
more direct steering and, there-
fore, better road holding.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
You expect sporty performance,
otherwise you wouldn’t be con-
sidering a Porsche. Indeed, you
expect a higher level of sporty
performance, otherwise you
would have no urge to keep read-
ing. Available as an option for the
Panamera S is the Sport Chrono
Sport button.
The Sport button, which is fitted
as standard, enables drivers of
the new Panamera models to
select a setup that favours either
comfort or sporty performance.
At the push of a button, the elec-
tronic engine management sys-
tem switches the engine mapping
to offer an even sharper response
and engine dynamics that are
more direct. In vehicles with the
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
Your mind is somewhere else.
