In addition to the two-door sports cars, the Track Precision App will now also be available for the four-door Taycan, Cayenne and Panamera from the manufacturing year 2022. The app requires the sixth-generation Porsche Communication Management (PCM 6.0) system.
The Porsche Track Precision App records, analyses and displays individual driving data on a race circuit. The goal is to allow drivers to sharpen and improve their personal driving style. To this end, detailed real-time data on longitudinal and lateral acceleration, braking force and speeds are evaluated while driving. The Porsche Track Precision App is connected to various control units in the car via the PCM. The data from the vehicle’s sensors is recorded by the app and analysed in comparison to a reference lap or the driver’s personal best.
All the app's functions at a glance
The Porsche Track Precision App offers a unique range of functions both while driving and for subsequent analysis. These include:
- Automatic lap time recording using GPS data
- Live displays: when driving on a circuit, the lap timer and the 'Drive on your Limit' view are available. The latter visualises performance based on acceleration and other vehicle data.
- Video analysis: smartphone or action camera footage can be recorded when driving and then combined with the driving data later.
- Driving performance analysis: the connection to the car's sensors means that a wide range of information is available, such as steering angle, brake pressure and accelerator pedal position. This information can be compared to the data from previous laps and makes it possible to quickly see areas where the driver can improve. Videos and driving data can be exported for comprehensive evaluation.
- Data can be exchanged quickly and easily via AirDrop®, allowing a detailed analysis to be carried out on an iPad® afterwards.
- The Apple Watch® app can be used to start and stop recording and measure the wearer's pulse. The watch provides feedback by vibration when the driver achieves a new personal best time.
- The drive can be shared with others on social networks.
