Porsche Taycan will be made faster and smarter

Porsche has prepared a software update for the Taycan electric cars. A free upgrade will make cars faster and smarter by adding new features.

Last fall, the brand introduced the first major update to the Taycan, which became available for 2020 electric cars. Now the electric car in the Turbo S version accelerates faster: acceleration to 200 kilometers per hour takes 0.2 seconds less - 9.6 seconds.

Taycan equipped with adaptive air suspension, with the update will acquire the Smartlift function. It "remembers" the location of irregularities on repeated routes (for example, speed bumps) and automatically increases the ground clearance.

A number of other improvements are related to the battery and charging. Now the Taycan can calculate the level of charge with which it will reach its destination, and will also tell through the mobile application when it is possible to stop charging and hit the road.

A mode has appeared that reduces the charging power from 270 to 200 kilowatts - this allows you to reduce the temperature of the battery and prevents early wear. In addition, at the end of this year it will be possible to retrofit sedans with an on-board charger with a capacity of 22 kilowatts.

Despite the fact that the update is exclusively about software, owners will still have to visit dealerships. Porsche explained this with a concern for safety: since the update affects the power plant and other important systems of the car, Porsche needs to make sure that the electric cars are returned to their owners in full working order.
