Is there any tricks what I need know to get that electric "boost" effect when I accelarate? At least half of my kick down accelarations dont go to boost mode, just using compust engine and in speedo show only100% power. Somethimes boost is coming and next time not, is there something wrong on my car? Thanks for answers.

 

If you bought the PSeH for acceleration thrills, you are going to be disappointed.

Maybe it's not a Turbo and perhaps it's a function of what you drove before this car, but the S e-hybrid has plenty of acceleration to me in Sport mode and enough to squeal the wheels from a stop in Sport Plus if you have or add that. In e-power (electric) mode, it's got very little but you're not driving in that mode for acceleration. Kick down off of e-power mode is acceptable but not exciting. Hybrid mode is the most disappointing to me and I rarely use it. To me, it's e-power mode when feasible (essentially my daily commute to and from work and on nearby errands which is actually the vast majority of my miles) and Sport mode all other times.

 

5.2 seconds to 60 is damn-near pedestrian these days (for the PSeH).
The newer model is mid 4s, so I guess that's a bit more reasonable.

But overall, for a sticker price of over $120K, I consider our car an absolute slug.

 

Hi,
Whats the difference between sport to sport plus?
I just have Sport Function on mine...
Is it worth it to add it?
Can I add it?
Thank You
Max

 

Gus had Sport Plus on his PSeH. I recall he wrote about it in his thread.

I have both, though I added Sport Plus after purchasing the car - a decision I regret. The difference between the standard hybrid mode and Sport is dramatic across the entire throttle range and is the only mode worth driving, in my opinion, once the electric range is exhausted or if the electric performance is not appropriate to the situation. Sport Plus, in my experience, only changes performance when engaged from a stop. The acceleration out of the blocks is much improved and easily results in squealing tires at takeoff. After that, there is no difference. If engaged while already moving beyond low speeds, there is absolutely no difference from Sport mode - no change in tachometer readings, no further improvement in throttle responsiveness. Gus's comments in the previously described thread seem different but I have not been able to reproduce his experience. With non-hybrid models, the stock Sport Plus mode is part of "takeoff" where holding the brake and engaging the throttle and then releasing the brake pedal (I believe that's the sequence), results in a dramatic acceleration similar to drag racing. It's not a driving feature. Even equipped with Sport Plus after the fact, this "takeoff" mode is not available on the hybrid. In retrospect, I wish I had not spent the money even thought I got it at a discount during a sale from Suncoast.

 

Great information, thanks. I also only have the "sport" button and always wondered what the difference was. that said, i have an old 911sc and came from an infiniti m35, my panamera feels like a rocket in comparison to both of these.

 

These guys found a solution and they're extremely pleased. They're driving Panamera's as well.

I don't believe the boosters work on the S e-hybrid model. Please correct me with a link if I am incorrect on this. Would love to see such a product tested on that specific model.

 

All we'd need is a photo of the plug that connects to the pedal and we will be able see if there's any difference.

 

I'm trying to install a Sprint Booster I received for Christmas on a 2011 Panamera Turbo. Is there a trick to removing the throttle connector? It's a tight space down there and it's on very tight. I don't want to screw things up!

 

I can't say for sure if you have the same connector as on my 2009 Cayman but I suspect you do. To release the connector there is a spring loaded push button on the top of the connector. The button will press down against the spring perhaps 10mm with very little resistance. Then you will have to press VERY firmly and you will hear a click. After you hear the click the connector will pull out with no resistance. To reinstall you have to press the connector in quite firmly until you hear the click. Releasing that connector is a quite a pain. Push the button down hard till it clicks. It will be easier to leave the pedal installed when removing the connector. It's harder to hold the pedal and press the button at the same time. There is very little slack in the wire harness to manipulate the pedal with the harness attached. Good luck.

 

You might find some help in this thread..

Thanks, finally got it. Booster works great!
