For the Panamera 4 and 4S, and
for the Panamera and Panamera S
when fitted in combination with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
the optional Sport Chrono Package
Plus contains even more functions.
The shift times in ‘SPORT PLUS’
mode are shorter, the gear
changes sportier. In automatic
mode and at low rates of decel-
eration – even with high engine
speeds – the system initiates a
swifter brake-induced downshift.
In manual mode, gear changes
are faster, more dynamic and
more direct.
A special feature of this package
that further enhances sporty
performance is Launch Control,
which is designed to produce opti-
mum acceleration from a standing
start. This function is operated via
the SPORT PLUS button with the
‘D’ or ‘M’ drive position selected.
With the left foot depressing
the brake pedal, the driver fully
depresses the accelerator for
maximum throttle. The engine is
revved to an optimum speed of
around 5,500 rpm and the clutch
is already held in slight contact.
The message ‘Launch Control
active’ appears in the display on
the steering wheel for PDK* or
optional three-spoke sports steer-
ing wheel with gearshift paddles*.
Now, the driver simply releases
the brake pedal, and prepares for
maximum acceleration.
Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
For the Panamera Turbo, increased
power output is a matter of prin-
ciple. The same applies to the
optional Sport Chrono Package
Turbo. Typifying the Turbo philos-
ophy, it not only combines all the
functions of Sport Chrono Package
Plus, it adds one more: Overboost.
Imagine you are accelerating
at full throttle with the SPORT or
SPORT PLUS button selected.
Boost pressure is temporarily
increased by 10 %, which
considerably increases the maxi-
mum torque that the engine is
able to produce. Instead of the
normal 700 Nm, the overboost
function generates a torque of up
to 770 Nm for a limited period
and a feeling of satisfaction that
lasts even longer.
