I was in for a minor warranty issue in Germany today. Also getting a minor software update.

While taking about the Taycan, the (service) intake manager hinted that there may be a boost upgrade coming for the Taycan Turbo, paying a fee to Porsche to get it up to speed with the Turbo S!
Just wondering if someone else heard such a rumour as well, and/or if this is the case will Turbo S owners also get a bit of a (payable) reward?
....Asking for a friend :)

The pulse controlled inverters fitted to the front motors on Turbo and Turbo S have different ratings so hardware changes would be required too.

In the Taycan Turbo S, a pulse-controlled inverter with a maximum current rating of 600 amps is used on the front axle (Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo: 300 amps)

I drive a CT TS ...and I am aware of this difference. The guy mentioned it, and if true I am sure the Turbo S will also get a boost. Hence Porsche let TS buyers down...pay more but the Turbo would be on par then. Exciting if anything would happen with respect to performance...hope so!

Hope this is true granted I’m sure it will be at an unreasonable price. They should include a hp bump on all cars for free to keep them competitive with the competition.
