Autoblog notes that the acceleration numbers are adjusted, from a tenth of a second on the quarter mile to 10.7 shears and two-tenths in 0 – 124 MPH to 9.6 seconds. Nothing has changed about the specs, it’s just that Porsche’s data collection shows that the car is consistently faster than where it was rated.
Finally, Porsche is adding more “Feature on Demand” subscription features. The company describes this as more convenient because customers can add extra assists in their spare time without visiting the dealer, but it sounds a lot like paying for tech already installed in the car. According to Porsche, “four features will be on sale and three will be available as monthly subscriptions”, via the Porsche Connect Store. These include Active Lane Keeping Assist, an InnoDrive feature that controls the speed of the car due to changing conditions and its Range Manager that works when you use the navigation, to strike the balance between comfort and shortest travel time.
There’s no word on pricing for those software updates or the cars themselves, but orders will open in Q4, with US arrivals of the first models scheduled for early 2021.
