Experience: Porsche Taycan Sport Chrono Package with Porsche Design Subsecond Chronograph
As early as 1963, the Porsche 911 was equipped with an electrically driven clock as part of the five-tube instruments. In the early 2000s, Porsche added a central auxiliary instrument in the middle of the dashboard that was originally intended to display lap times. Even today, the Subsecond watch in the new Sport Chrono Package is an electrically powered clock. First available for the Panamera at the end of 2020, the Porsche Design Subsecond Chronograph is now also available for the Taycan within the Sport Chrono Package option.
