Has anyone taken delivery of a sport chrono equipped car yet?

[tmrqs]

so without the Sport Chrono Package I wont get Sport + mode on my Turbo Ev.

Correct.

This is my first Porsche and so I can only speak with limited experience but I always loved the look of the Crono on the dashboard (and it better at night). But again, I can only speak for myself..

 

[macanchan]

Can cars with sports chrono use the off road precision app, or is this only for the compass option?

 

[BigApple]

Correct.

I hope this is something i can still buy afterwards. Or code it in. My SA never told me this is needed for Sport +

You cannot, I'm sorry. It's not possible.

hmmm it seems they have done it. see Sport Plus Coding . Of course i don't know how this will be on the latest software on the latest Macan

 

[PanameraFrank]

To clarify, there is no legit way to do it. Porsche will not do it post delivery.

The old Macan has been around for quite a while and is notoriously easy to modify. It's both unlikely the EV Macan will allow nearly as much modding and a bad idea to attempt it.

If you're sure you want it, contact your SA, tell them the situation, and get switched to a new allocation.

Wait wait... The push to pass is real right? I saw it on a video already. It's like an 8 second window of boosted power. And launch control is available via the sport chrono package too right?

 

[bbmertz]

@krissrock, launch control is standard on all versions of the Macan EV.

@macanchan, it appears that the Offroad app only comes with the compass option in the U.S. I ordered the compass since I didn’t think I’d use the Sport + feature on my 4S but don’t like the look of an empty dashboard.

"Push-to-pass" is on the Taycan facelift from the 4S upwards and after ticking the relevant options.

"Push-to-pass" is not available on any Macan.

What video shows / discusses push-to-pass?

 

[tmrqs]

What video shows / discusses push-to-pass?

A Taycan video.

 

[Wawando]

Push to pass only on ICE (i.e. 911) or latest version of the Taycan.
My Macan EV Turbo has sports chrono and I confirm it has no push to pass. I wonder who would want more power, it has a brutal acceleration as it is… yyyhaaaaaa!!!

That is really, REALLY good to hear, for the turbo I drove was noticeably less powerful than I expected it to and what I wanted it to be. IMO, that could have been due to two independent or interrelated reasons:

1) This dealer got them and immediately was using both it and the Macan 4 for test drives (maybe they did not complete the software updates); and,
2) The turbo I tested did not have Sport Chrono (instead had the Compass Pkg), and thus it lacked the Sports Plus mode.

It was far from slow, but also far from having “brutal acceleration.”

Thanks again Wawando for that very encouraging news!

@Fun TC Driving I mean, Sports Chrono doesn't significantly improve the speed. It's a couple fractions of a second. It does tune the accelerator more aggressively, and the general driving characteristics, but mashing the pedal won't be significantly faster in Sports Plus.

The Macan Turbo is only a bit faster than an iX M60. You'll need to wait for a Turbo S, which they'll certainly do in the next year, if you want something more significant.
