PORSCHE E-SHIFT Option with Virtual Gear Changes

Presents the optional E-Shift system for Porsche Taycan models. It lets drivers shift through eight virtual gears using paddles on the GT-sports steering wheel, as an alternative to automatic mode. The system simulates gear changes with noticeable shift jerks, gear-specific drag torque and a virtual rev limiter. The Porsche Electric Sport Sound adapts to driving load and simulated engine speed, and a virtual rev counter and shift-light gear indicator appear in the instrument cluster. E-Shift is available for all Taycan variants and body styles, and comes standard on the Taycan Turbo GT. Source: YOUCAR.

• Eight virtual gears selected with GT-sports steering wheel paddles
• Simulated shift jerks, drag torque and virtual rev limiter
• Electric Sport Sound and virtual rev counter adapt to driving
• Optional on all Taycan variants; standard on Taycan Turbo GT

With the new E-Shift option, Porsche is enhancing the emotive driving experience of all Taycan models. Virtual gear changes with noticeable shift jerks, a reinterpreted Porsche Electric Sport Sound and a virtual rev counter guarantee a multi-sensory driving experience. Paddles on the GT-sports steering wheel can be used to shift between eight simulated gears. As an alternative to automatic mode, drivers can use the paddles of the GT-sports steering wheel to shift between eight virtual gears. The gear changes are simulated realistically: noticeable gear-shift jerks, gear-specific drag torque – comparable to the engine-braking behaviour of a combustion-engined car – and a virtual rev limiter ensure authentic feedback. At the same time, the interior and exterior sound of the Porsche Electric Sport Sound adapts to the respective driving situation depending on load and ‘engine’ speed. The system is supplemented by a virtual rev counter and a gear indicator with shift light in the instrument cluster. The optional ‘E-Shift including GT-sports steering wheel with paddles’ is available for all Taycan variants and body styles.² The Taycan Turbo GT is equipped with the system as standard. The transmission mapping and sound characteristics are tailored to each model, giving each variant its own acoustic and driving profile. E-Shift is activated via an additional mode switch on the GT-sports steering wheel. Do you like it?
