Probably most interesting was the good quality recording of the sport sound around 11 minutes in. Doesn't look like he had the updated PCM interestingly, but he did mention that there was increased cooling in the motors with the GTS model, which was the first I'd heard of that.

Waiting for my GTS is just making me anxious to consume any new reviews.

I believe Porsche recalibrated the software and now it gets a chunk more range out of the same battery.

My understanding is that the changes will go to all models, but the official ratings won't be changed as doing that's a ball ache.

Watched it and was amazed he hadn’t checked his facts before stating the 0-60 time was 3.2 seconds. He mentions 4S is 3.8 seconds which is correct and Turbo is 3 seconds which is also correct…but GTS is 3.5 seconds not 3.2 seconds.

The new sport turismo models are also now showing this increased range in the stats. I compared a 4S saloon without the updated figures and with performance battery plus on 20 inch wheels the estimated range is 283 miles. On the 4S Sport Turismo without performance battery plus with the same 20 inch wheels the range was estimated at 273 miles going up to over 300 with the performance battery plus.

I just want a measurement of the 0 to 60…
Wait for Matt Watson from carwow’s review, he likes to do that

or The Straight Pipes

Honestly, I won’t be surprised if it is hitting 3.2 seconds mentioned by Doug, maybe he accidentally spills the real number…

The question is, have these changes already been made to other models, or will the GTS see significantly more range once it gets into buyers' hands and the other models get the updates later for some reason (maybe included with the new PCM?)?

Am I the only one who didn't like the modified sound? I wish they made it sound like this:
Coming to a tuning shop near you soon :)

I wonder if this is part of the recent update that is gradually being rolled out?

I've talked about it with my dealer some time ago. They didn't know either but they checked with the importer in our country and official statement is that all models figures will be eventually updated. GTS models got new approvals with new software updates and supposedly some engine friction upgrades. That's what lady from Porsche told me. So all 2022 models are updated.
