Porsche Sport Mode Software




New from Porsche! A factory software kit that adds a new dimension to your Porsche. By pressing a dash-mounted "SPORT" switch, you can chose between a stock mode and a Sport Mode with improved performance dynamics.


Benefits of Sport Mode activation:
- Sporty tuning of engine Motronic software, PASM, PSM, Tiptronic Transmission (if applicable), all-wheel-drive system (if applicable).
- For vehicles with factory Sport Exhaust, the new Sport button would control exhaust settings.
- For vehicles with PCM, new personalized settings can now be controlled. Including memory for lights, wiper, climate control, & door lock settings.
- For 2009-2011 vehicles with PDK, you get a Sport Plus button with Launch Control and Race Track Shift Strategy.
- For Turbo models, Overboost is also added for additional acceleration.
When the Sport button on the center console is selected, the engine management system enhances the engine response. A modified throttle map relates the pedal angle in the footwell to a much wider angle of opening on the throttle valve. Throttle response is significantly more immediate, and, in the higher gears, a hard rev-limiter helps protect the engine under acceleration.

Vehicles with the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) also switches to Sport mode for harder damping and more direct steering, and, therefore, better road holding. For maximum dexterity, PSM can be set to standby while the car is still in Sport mode. For safety, it is set to intervene automatically only when ABS assistance is required on both the front wheels.

For Tiptronic or PDK transmissions, gearshift points are delayed until the upper rev range. The shift times are shorter, the gear changes sportier. At low rates of deceleration even with high engine speeds the system initiates a swifter brake-induced downshift. In manual mode, gear changes are faster and more dynamic. In Sport mode, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised for increased longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Agility is enhanced under braking for corners with PSM, enabling greater handling response under braking and exit acceleration, especially at low speeds.

Fitment: 2005-2011 Carrera, Turbo, Cayman, & Boxster models without Sport Chrono or Sport Chrono Plus.

Note: Professional installation required by an authorized Porsche dealer, estimated installation time is 2-4 hours. Must acquire an enabling code from Porsche (insert your VIN number if you want us to obtain it), make sure your VIN number is 100% accurate (if it's wrong, you've wasted your money). This kit is not returnable under any circumstance. Includes software and a new dash switch. Special Order from Germany.

If the car has sport chrono or sport chrono plus, then you wouldn't need to add this kit (you would already have it). I'm pretty sure that the 997 Turbo S has the SC package as standard equipment, so no need to add it.

For non-turbo cars, it's main benefit is increasing the throttle response. Then for tiptronic and PDK cars, the gearing is completely changed. Gears are held until higher RPM's, and a sport shifting pattern added. It will also change PASM and PSM settings, depending on the cars equipment.

Turbo models will see an increase in horsepower, this kit does add the factory Overboost feature.

If you could retrofit the Sport button, doesn't that mean you can retrofit a Sport Chrono?
