Passing on Sport Chrono Option on a Macan 4 EV -- Mistake?

[nulled]

I am not planning to bring the 4 on a track and don't like the central clock but didn't know I was also going to miss on the Sport + mode and the Porsche Active Aerodynamics. Any drivers out there that could tell me if I am going to notice the difference? Thanks

Yes you will.
But will it matter to you?

Being my first Porsche, I knew I wanted to have the Chrono option included. As others have said in other threads, I found it to fill that dashboard space nicely - plus the fact that it availed a couple other modes also helped ease the decision.

But everyone has different priorities/aesthetics… it’s what makes the configurator so damn dangerous whilst raking a ton in for Porsche

It’s a resell value option more than anything to be honest, definitely less important on Macan ev than on a 911 or even Taycan for example.

That being said i tested sport plus today extensively on my Macan 4 and it does provide:
- more direct throttle response
- super hard and nervous suspension setting (good for perfect roads less good for less than perfect roads)
- launch control
- ability to record your 0-100 or any other times including lap times
- if you go on a circuit you can time entire lap and save it as a lap
- more intense electric motors sound (even without the Sport Sound package)

Oh yeah and super tight suspension for cornering if you spec the PASM

Nice! Thanks for the detailed feedback. I wonder if it’s just software. If so, they should offer it as an upgrade.

Good list! But note Launch control is also available in Sport mode, without the Sport Chrono package.

I don’t think you will lose the active aerodynamics, it’s standard an all Macans
