Display power and torque
I own a 2020 992 S with Sport Chrono. According to the manual, a power and torque display is available in tube 4 (Sport Chrono display window.) It isn't there. I have G-Force, and some other settings, but not power and torque. My 2018 718 GTS with Sport Chrono had this display. Am I missing something, or is this display part of a package I don't have on my car?

I do not recall seeing that as I have been through all my settings on my C4S (with Sports Chrono), I do have a screen that has my AWD traction (which is specific to mine as it is a C4S and not an S, maybe that is what it refers to?

The front vs. rear traction display is standard to all Porsche 4WD vehicles. My wife's Macan S has that gauge.

I have this display in my 991.2 GTS. I rarely use it as it displays in real time and I'd rather be looking at where I'm going than a "video game display". Maybe it's been discontinued in the 992 reconfigured dashboard?

Oh thats right! I forgot my GTS had that! LOL. Totally forgot about it on my 991.2 GTS. Although, it wasn't very cool looking. I like the BMW implementation much better.

The sales person that sold the car to me confirmed that the power torque display isn't available soon the 992 S. Interesting, as the 718 GTS came with it. I wonder what model 922s have the display?

On a similar note I’d configured my engine gauges to show the turbo boost, but thought it was not working at first as it shows “0” boost most of the time in normal driving. Turns out you have to get pretty deep into the throttle for any appreciable amount of boost to show on the gauge, and frankly you really want to be looking outside when you’re doing that! I decided it wasn’t worth having and switched back to the default set up.
In any case the push in your back is a better Gauge of turbo boost.

I have a Panamera 4S, but interestingly enough, when the dealership accidently flashed it with software from the Turbo, that display option came up. I thought it was really cool to see, but unfortunately it was gone once they put the correct software back.
