The Taycan Performance Battery is artificially detuned from the maximum possible 670 PS to 408 PS in launch control and normal mode. The torque is 410 Nm and 370 Nm respectively. With our upgrade the maximum power is increased to 670 PS, and the full torque of 690 Nm is available in all modes.
Only the artificial commercial limitations in the powertrain control module are altered. The electric motor controllers and the battery controller are not modified in any way and their output never exceeds the factory rated maximum safety parameters. The limitations of the thermal envelope also remain fully intact.
You always receive a brand new plug and play powertrain control module customized for your specific vehicle.
The new module is fully remotely updatable using a PC and ENET cable – should there be any changes to your preferences or in the unlikely case that a software update is required, this can be performed by a distributor or from the comfort of your home.
Your original control module is not modified, and may be re-fitted at any time and for any reason – dealer visits, sale of the vehicle or for a back to back comparison.
In light of recent developments we do not recommend modifying the original module under any circumstances. Dealer level diagnostic equipment currently detects modified modules and silently flags the car as modified on the central server, which may cause denied warranty claims and refusal of warranty extensions at any point in the future.

Our software includes a special function, which at wide open throttle puts the motor controllers into launch mode even during normal driving. Simultaneously the suspension is stiffened and the traction control adjusted for optimal acceleration. Without this unique function, that only we provide, it is impossible to exceed 585 Nm of torque outside of launch control.
The powertrain controller has a feature called “Anti-surge damping” or in simpler words – torque request filtering. It exists for two reasons – to provide refinement of the power delivery and protect the drivetrain from excessive lash.
Completely disabling the damping is not a good solution – resulting in jerky throttle behaviour and being potentially damaging to the powertrain due to excessive bucking. The controller contains a function, which is not calibrated and disabled from factory – “Filter deactivation with pre-tensioned drivetrain”. We enable and calibrate this function, which as long as there is sufficient forward torque on the powertrain allows bypassing the filtering whenever the driver performs sudden throttle movements.
For you this means much sharper and less delayed throttle response during spirited driving without affecting the carefully crafted refinement of the vehicle or placing undue stress on the powertrain.
The shiftpoints in the transmission have been optimized in all modes to provide consistent power delivery allowing for the largest possible area under the curve.
The artificial top speed limitation has been removed, and the maximum speed is governed only by the maximum RPM of the electric motors, which is reached at 270km/h.
