2012 P TTS

From normal to sport mode every gear is held 500 rpm or more higher at all times. Shifts are a bit shaper and throttle is better. You can still get into 7th gear.

From sport to sport chrono every gear is held another 500-800 rpm higher, the shift points at WOT appear higher, gears are held longer, rev matching blips are more pronounced, shifting is considerably stiffer and faster. Don't forget LAUNCH CONTROL! I find it too aggressive in auto mode for the street, but manually shifting in sport chrono is very smooth. It really makes it feel very close to driving a manual. You can't shift into 7th gear in sport chrono either.

There may be some aftermarket tunes for the sport mode that are just as good but you still wouldn't get launch control which in all honesty is a blast and works perfectly.

Problem coding sport plus button

Hey guys - bumping this as I need some help here. I have a 2014 PTT PASM - does NOT have sport chrono clock

I just ordered the Sport Plus button add-on from my dealer Manhattan Motorcars. They put my VIN into the Tequipment system, ordered the part, but when they tried to install it is throwing an error saying the button isn't compatible with the car, specifically because it doesn't have the Sport Chrono clock.

They are going back and forth with PCNA all week trying to get this coded correctly, but no joy yet. If anyone can be helpful would be greatly appreciated. Tico at Manhattan Motorwerks division is handling (amazing guy, not his fault as far as I'm concerned)

Thanks

I would not do it. I have SP+ in both my 2018 4s and hybrid. I do not see a major different in freeway. Even though my 2018 4s has chassis height control with sport mode. It is about 1.3K installed at your local porsche. You buy it on-line from sunsetporsche. Your local porsche may not install it. Save $ for your future new Pan. LOL ... I asked the service manager at my Fletcher Jones about the performance with SP+, he also mentioned it is not a big + performance.
