Sport Chrono Package

When purchasing a Porsche, many people are looking for aWhat options should we add?I think you may be quite distressed. My husband also used to configurator and "This option is a must... but it's too expensive if I add all of them... or cut something...He mumbles something like, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.(Even models I don't plan to buy are configured w)

One of the options that many people wonder about is whether or not to add aSport Chrono PackageAccording to the Porsche Japan website as of January 2020, the option price was ¥388,056 for a stock 911.(The Panamera is priced at 313,705 yen and the Cayenne at 182,315 yen, depending on the model.)

If you add the Sport Chrono Package to a currently available model, theActive enhancements to engine, chassis, and transmission performance for even more sport drivingbecome a "new" vehicle. Specifically, three features will be added to the vehicle.

Launch control system that enables racing start, the most efficient starting acceleration(only for PDK)
Four driving modes can be selected to match the driving style: Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, and Individual. A dial for selecting the mode is mounted on the steering wheel.
A sport response mode switch is installed to maintain maximum throttle response for approximately 20 seconds.

And although it has nothing to do with driving performance, the Sport Chrono Package is a great way to get the most out of your vehicle.A stopwatch will be mounted on the dashboard.We hear that many people choose the Sport Chrono package because they want to wear this stopwatch.

By the way, the Sport Chrono Package option can be retrofitted. The 970 Panamera Edition I bought a long time ago was a new car, but it did not have the Sport Chrono Package, so I had the dealer retrofit it for me.However, in that case, the stopwatch itself cannot be attachedYes.

Sport Chrono Package, what do you think?

All of the water-cooled Porsches in my house have the Sport Chrono package.The Boxster GTS (981) and 911 GT3 (991.2) are standard equipment, while the Panamera (971) is installed as an option.The first time I saw a new building, I was surprised to see it.

Whenever I drive a winding road, I alwaysSports" or "Sports Mode."The suspension becomes stiffer when changing the mode. When changing the mode, the suspension becomes much stiffer, and in the case of PDK, you can experience sport driving at high rpm, and even a huge car like the Panamera can easily turn corners, which is very enjoyable.

As for the Boxster.Auto blipping is turned on when in Sports Plus mode.(with the result that) ...(For the 718, I heard that autoblipping is turned on for Sport Plus and above)The Boxster's "I'm going to be a boxer," which sticks with you every time you downshift.Boom, boom.The roar of the car is so pleasant that I always drive with the car in Sport Plus mode on winding roads and highways.

When I didn't know much about Porsche, I thought, "I don't care whether it has the Sport Chrono package or not. I mean, it's too expensive and I don't think it's necessary.I thought, "I'm so glad my husband kept this on," but now I'm glad he did.

With this Sport Chrono package, even an amateur like me canIt allows the driver to further demonstrate the performance that Porsche has to offer, and to experience more of Porsche's driving prowess.

When I participated in a Porsche driving school, I went through the program with the car in Sports Plus mode throughout. I was surprised to see how the car could turn so easily even at such a high speed in the slalom.

My husband thinks the sports chrono package

And regarding this Sport Chrono package, my husband said, "If you buy a Porsche, you must have it. You don't have a choice if you don't!I asked him again about the reason for this, and this is what he had to say.

I know this is a personal value.I don't see Porsche as a "luxury car", I see it as a "high performance car".So I don't want to go out of my way to seal off and ride in a mode that can extract 1001 TP3T of that performance.

And. I see, a high performance car. My husband continued

It depends on the type of car, but Sport and Sport Plus are quite different.For example, in the case of the Boxster GTS, I feel like "when I set it to Sport Plus, the athletic performance has increased by about 10% in terms of experience. I feel like it would be a shame to drive it without tasting that. So I definitely want to add the Sport Chrono Package.
By the way, personally, I don't care either way, with or without a stopwatch.

I said, "We are a family that puts a lot of emphasis on driving. I said, "We are a family that places a lot of emphasis on driving, whether on mountain roads, race tracks, or long distances on the highway, so the Sport Chrono package is a must.

That's right. But I don't drive that fast, and my driving is mainly in the city.For those who drive a Porsche as a "luxury car", this is a feature that is not needed at all.I think it's a good idea.
Also, Porsche's options are not really taken into account for resale, but as for the Sport Chrono Package, the price is that much different with and without it. In that sense.Little real loss if you pay the option fee to keep it on.I think it's the person who is the best.

I would like to ask my husband's opinion about other options such as PDCC, rear axle steering, etc. again in the future.
