Porsche Panamera 971 4.0T PDK, MY2019 – Stage2 98RON + gearbox tune

Posted November 17, 2022 by Stelios Alexandrakis 992 0

There are two things you need to know about the Porsche Panamera 971 4.0T PDK, MY2019.
First is that no dyno around the world has been able to confirm Porsche’s claims that is produces just 550hp engine power.

Logging this car in stock form revealed that the stock calibration closely resembles that of an Audi RS6 C7 Performance (that makes 600hp in stock form). A lot more than just the 550hp that Porsche claims.
Second is that it features the latest twin clutch heavy-duty gearbox from ZF. Porsche calls it PDK2-TC400, while ZF calls it ZF8 8DT. Compared to the previous ZF AL551 models used in similar cars like the RS6/7, this one shifts seemlessly and much faster!

On dyno, it measured 577whp on stock mapping with upgraded downpipes and 98RON fuel. We developed a custom #Etuners Stage2 engine tune and gearbox tune to improve performance. After the remap, power went up to 620whp with big torque gains.

A very big thank you to the owner who trusted us and allowed for the development of both the engine and gearbox tunes.
