At Germany's largest tuning trade fair, RaceChip showed what the engine experts have up their sleeves and didn't skimp on show cars. You could already see a few special highlights on the preview day. The “chip tuning experts” showed their complete product portfolio on the enlarged stand area. However, this was outshone by a McLaren 570s. There was also a Porsche Panamera waiting next to him. Both vehicles demonstrated the Göppingen-based company's combined expertise in the area of chip and accelerator pedal tuning. We took a look at what the two cars have under the hood and why RaceChip is the market leader in these areas of engine optimization.
British understatement meets pure performance
Customized performance increases via additional control unitNot only for large-scale vehicles an interesting deal that RaceChip has in the quiver. This can be seen especially in the two innovations of the vehicle fleet on Preview Day at the Essen Motor Show. The super sports car McLaren 570s is known to be no child of sadness and already provides 570 PS and 600 Nm of maximum torque. But here the professionals of RaceChip have found a few reserves and elicit the car legendary 650 horsepower and truly diabolical 666 Nm torque. Thus, the Briton should no longer be just one of the entry-level versions, but includes performance to the larger brother, the McLaren 650s on. And the foiling in the design of the in-house design department "SchwabenFolia" adds to the impression that the McLaren 570s from RaceChip are no joke: Here comes a brutal hip flask.
After the Essen Motor Show, the Brit gets super light rims donated by the manufacturer HRE. The light-alloy wheels in the R 101 design are the home of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and should provide an outstanding performance with the new suspension from KW. For the necessary sound - the rather small-volume eight-cylinder escape otherwise only tame tones - should provide an exhaust system of Akrapovic. And these guys, like the RaceChip team, know what they're doing. So there is a triumvirate of competence, which is implemented exclusively for the McLaren 570s.
Torque that blows away in the Porsche Panamera
Another highlight is the Porsche Panamera at the exhibition stand. Sure: Schwabe and Schwabe like to join. And although the Panamera wants to be a luxurious sedan, he should be on par with the British flounder. RaceChip combines the best combination of sportiness and comfort. With the RaceChip Ultimate Connect performance upgrade, the performance of 422 jumps to 505 PS. That alone would be impressive, but is not the end of the flagpole yet. Now it's time to sit down and take a deep breath. Ready? OK: The torque of already more than emphatic 850 Nm increase the experts to 1037 Nm. What a force!
Together with the accelerator tuning "Response Control" and the addition of additional components at the end of the year - an exhaust system and a chassis - the Porsche Panamera is then absolutely perfect. In addition, the Zuffenhausener will be equipped with specially tailored OZ alloy wheels. And those who know OZ will know that the Superturismo Dakar HLTs are not only very handsome, but also super light. Nevertheless, the overall package should rather give the feeling of sitting in a limousine and not in a bucking sports car.
Experience chiptuning up close
At EMS, vehicle optimization is made unique through RaceChip. In addition to the McLaren and the Porsche, there is also the Audi RS3 with 410 PS, 520 Nm and integrated response control, which is something of the current flagship of the Swabians. You can admire him not only as the main actor in the RaceChip TV commercial, but of course also the exciting “Plug and Drive principle in Essen live . experience

This is an individual decision with RaceChip at your side.
