Will the Sprint Booster work in a 2013 Panamera GTS?

The new Version 2 units have a 3-position switch. You can select between, stock, sport and "race".

Single program version. Made it VERY difficult to modulate the throttle and correctly match revs on heel-toe.

Remove the single torx screw that connects the pedal to the floor. Slide the pedal up to remove it. There is a connector that plugs into the pedal. If you can pull it out, great! I had to jam a screwdriver where it clipped into the pedal and broke off part of the plastic. Plug in the sprint booster inline.

I haven't actually used it yet, but was curious how difficult the install was going to be before I purchased one. 20 min including 15 min fumbling to disconnect the pedal from connector.

Does this void a warranty? Do you have to remove that each time you go to the dealer?
I have seen this mod on the BMW forums and guys get good results out of it. Super simple to hook up.

Nope, you only need to turn it off before you send it back... FYI my car is still under warranty today

Sorry for popping up this old thread, but I really need some advise on how to disconnect the plug from the gas pedal in my panamera. I pushed really hard on the gray button (see the attachment please) but the plug did not come out. I have V3 sprint booster but have not installed it yet because I could not unplug and pedal's socket.

Thank you.

Just installed me, however, I did not noticed any significant difference. As far as the plug, remove the whole pedal assembly by removing the top screw. Then push the assembly as a unit upward. It wil wiggle itself out the locking insert. This will allow you better access to the plug by rotating it. Press the gray tab while with a flat screwdriver pry it at the end of the plug. This worked for me.

**Update**. So I found the best driving mode is to put the car in Sport and the booster on Race at the 9 setting. You will now spin your rear tires out on turns! So I take my previous impression of the booster back and definitely recommend this mod. It's the easiest mod to do and cheapest imo.
