Get stickier tyres. Tyres always make the most difference both on the road or racing.
Will try again in spring now I have the 22 inch Vossen setup with Sport Contact 6 tires, first time I am going to run these as opposed to the pirelli P0s....will the Sport Contact 6 be a stickier tire? Happy to try others in due time also.

I just reached out for my Turbo model. I was curious if there was a way to make the full power available outside of launch control via tuning. It seems pretty interesting.
Any news? Cheers

I certainly will.

If Anyone is in Socal, they can drive my car and we can do comparison videos
Any update from your side or your TS friend? Very curious what came out of the TS (driving one myself, stock)

2 TS members here are interested but we are waiting for ABT to finalize their pricing and updating model.
Once we get a better visibility, I'll post it

I don't know anything about the league table of stickiness in road car tyres.

On a F1 car the tyre compound and how near optimum temperature it is makes (far) more difference to initial acceleration than power.
The others are the road surface itself and how well the driver controls clutch and throttle (this last is in effect controlled by the car in launch in the Taycan not the driver)

Once a vehicle has enough power to break traction more power doesn't add anything to acceleration until you reach a speed at which it no longer has.

Man, I feel like you're getting my hopes up only to be disappointed every time. Is this company legit, or even exists? Their website was only created a month ago, doesn't show up in any searches, their FB and IG accounts are in the low single digits in terms of likes, followers, posts...

Did anything more come of the ABT lead you had?

They are the HGP for the US so they can do the upgrade through the OBD port, but they are in San Francisco.
Working on getting the details

I joined this forum for a completely other topic, but stumbled across this...

I think this video (while being recorded in German) might still interested you:

Taycan Cross Turismo 4 -> Stage 1 tuning in Germany incl Performance Test

also a video with preparations: Part 1 Video (still German)

Porsche Taycan First true BEV tuning available? HGP-Turbo software for maximum battery performance / acceleration & raising Vmax speed limiter (for RS Etron-GT) 1704388119642

End of Video - Autobahn tests - Taycan CT 4 with Stage 1

Porsche Taycan First true BEV tuning available? HGP-Turbo software for maximum battery performance / acceleration & raising Vmax speed limiter (for RS Etron-GT) 1704388329749

CT 4 is limited to 220km/h normally

Porsche Taycan First true BEV tuning available? HGP-Turbo software for maximum battery performance / acceleration & raising Vmax speed limiter (for RS Etron-GT) 1704388213159

Taycan 4 on the bench

The shop is in Germany, so I think this will only help you in getting another data point about this stage tuning being real.

Happy tuning! :angel:

Did you see this on that post on Rennlist? I saw there was a post made with a tuning option now in the US, but when i click on it, it directs me to an error message on the Rennlist forums.

If anyone is interested in doing this upgrade and you're in Southern California, send me a message.
I'm getting a Taycan and E-Tron GT owners together for a day to do the upgrade.

I did it in July 2023.
It's finally how the car should have been from the factory.
You will definitely feel the difference.
I suggest doing it in person with Redshift
