Sport Plus addition?

I have a 2014 Panamera 4S without Sport Chrono. I can add Sport Plus for $1040.00. Is this worth it? It adds launch control, but I will rarely use it. Will I notice a difference in chassis and performance? Thanks for the advice!!

If you have the "s trim" and you have a heavy foot go with the chrono. Chrono is also a good selling point when reselling a car. You wont use launch control much. But you will use the sport plus high rev feature more than anything else out of the chrono pcg. If your car never came with one - I dont think you need it unless you race a lot.

My car does not have sport Chrono, so no Sport Plus. From what I'm being told, it adds all the features of Sport Chrono except the Chrono on the dash. For $1500 installed, seems like a no-brainer. Do you guys agree?

Great. Just what I wanted to hear. Dealer ordered the new button layout and whatever else is needed on Friday. Hopefully it will be installed by the end of the week.

I am thinking about doing the same thing to my "S". I will be interested to hear how you feel about the upgrade.
