    Improved responsiveness

    Apart from increasing the car's power and torque, the performance software upgrade also changes the pedal mapping. As a result, the motors respond more quickly to the accelerator, elevating the driving experience even further.

    Launch control

    For those moments when even extraordinary acceleration is deemed too ordinary, the performance software upgrade includes a launch control feature. It's activated by simultaneously depressing the accelerator and brake pedals, preloading a higher starting torque to provide maximum power right from a standstill. The result is a car that speeds up in the blink of an eye and extends its momentum over a longer period.
