800hp Taycan GTS

[alexz]

Hello,

Does anyone have the HGP software ? Results are impressive :

100 - 200 km/h (62 to 124 mph) in 6.1 ~ 6.3 seconds (vs 8.3 seconds stock).

Power 800+ hp full time (not only in launch mode).
Torque 1050 Nm (vs 850 Nm stock).
Top speed (speedometer) : 278 km/h (172.7 mph).
0 - 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) : 2.8 seconds (vs 3.7 seconds stock).
0 - 200 km/h (0 to 124 mph) : 8.9 seconds (vs 12.0 seconds stock).
Faster than the Turbo S...

Because they share the same motors, this 'ECU' is compatible with Audi RS e-Tron GT, Porsche Taycan GTS, Turbo and Turbo S.
They also have a 620hp 'ECU' for the 4S.

I just searched YouTube and this was posted yesterday. I don't understand what they're saying but I've cued this video at a shot of a timer screen- 3.4 s to 100kph with Launch Control.

Here the e-Tron GT RS (same motors than Taycan GTS), with the same mod.
0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 0-124 mph in 8.9 seconds :

Which after installing presumably invalidates the warranty and possibly also your insurance cover?!

Certainly would invalidate warranty here and probably quadruple the insurance!
I rarely get the opportunity to use full throttle for more than a few seconds round here, so this sort of thing wouldn’t be worth it for me.

I an fairly sure my 4S has more power than I can use at legal speeds, if I find a wide enough road I’ll switch the PSM off and see

I certainly have nowhere round here for a drag race so standing start straight line performance is irrelevant to me.

The ETC sounds like a winner then. Invalidated warranty + quadrupled premium

Let them first come up with a proper dragy measurement! They used even on board dashboard timers. Well...enough said.
3.4s in a GTS with a claimed 800+ and 1050Nm of torque should do much better, at least equal to Turbo S CT that measures easily 2.9s to 100kmu on a dragy....mind you the TS has max 761hp with 1050Nm during launch control. Wondering how real this 800+hp is???
I want to see the proper measurements first.
That youtube vid doesnt convince me at all!

None of this stuff convinces me.
Initial acceleration depends more on grip than power so tyre, road surface and launch algorithm are all more important up to the speed where the car is no longer grip limited than power.

The whole 0-60 obsession is delusional for high powered cars.

Is the risk worth the reward here?

I follow that completely but if you were to measure I am more convinced by a dragy result than a on board timer via the sport chrono. At least let them time a proper 100-200.
More concerning is the warranty, but that is a personal decision.

Given Porsche has talked about implementing something like this as a feature on demand I highly doubt it.

I would call this unlocking the full power of the car instead of just for 2.5sec on launch control, not 800hp.

0-60mph doesn't change, after 60mph is where you get the benefits.

Private message me for more details.

My RS E-Tron GT
0-100km stays the same

Look at the 100-200km & 0-200km

I understand proper controlled testing.
I have never seen any from enthusiasts or reviewers on the internet, the tyres being the most important and usually not mentioned.
Expecting similar performance between all-seasons tyres and summer tyres from a standing start on dry tarmac is ????

From 100-200kph would probably be tyre agnostic and be informative (if totally irrelevant for a road car in most countries )

Of all the thoughts I've had when driving my GTS, "I wish this could go faster" isn't one of them.
