sport plus shifting question
I have a 2015 turbo s and I am wondering when put into sport plus and let it shifts by itself, is it supposed to rev all the way up to redline before it shifts into the next gear never mind if you are light or heavy on throttle? Every time when I had put it in sport plus mode, I had always manual shifting it until recently I discovered it would not upshift to the next gear even I am light in throttle. Is this normal?

Ken, yes the shift map will take it to redline under low load driving. I also find that Sport Mode is better when in "auto" mode...

Yup, that is the case. The answers here are spot on.
Redline or bust in sport plus.
The only time sport plus ever really works "on the street" is if you are going to launch the car.
I only use sport plus on the track, in both the Turbo S and the Cayman S.
Very hard for me to justify sport plus on the street.
Your experience is the norm.
On the street, it's always in plain old "sport" mode for this kid. If I want to extend both spoilers, I'll do that manually with the center console button.

for 991.1, when you are in sport+, it will only shift at redline.
for 991.2, it will upshift under light throttle.
IMO, sport is good for the street. Sport+ are for racing or launch control ))))

To add a bit to this, the 991.2 TT upshifts right at 4K RPM under light throttle.
