Technology and drive
The 2027 update introduces an advanced digital ecosystem (new PCM/infotainment, App Center, AI Voice Pilot), the optional E‑Shift feature which provides simulated 'virtual' gear shifts via paddles and a reinterpreted Porsche Electric Sport Sound. Porsche lists Performance Battery Plus with a gross 105 kWh capacity and notes up to 320 kW DC charging capability; WLTP range improvements are stated for some variants (examples in manufacturer/dealer material cite up to ~678 km for some configurations).
