US Spec Lotus Update degrades power??

[Lotus F1]

Anyone know if this is true. I was just told one of the latest updates downgrades the power because it was too high or in his words "too fast". Is there any way people can see the list of software updates and what they do online? I hope this isn't actually true but it was a tech that does the uploads that said this. Mmm

I don't believe the power on the display is actually measured. It's likely just a software algorithm. The JUBU tuned cars still show the same numbers as a stock car.

354 is confirmed US torque spec

Gotcha didn't know you were talking about torque

[nterestingly enough even if we go with that the TDI tune essentially adds boost so even if it was a formula looking at the Boost it should have come up with a higher number but right now it just shows 400]

We'll all the data from members is helpful trying to pin down what is happing.
So- when people make Mods that presumably add's power the 'power meter' on some cars remains the same. Therefore MCU must be locked with a default algorithm .

Some cars in the US and China the 'power meter' exceeds 400HP. So far up to 423HP and 460 NM.
Question now; do these cars truly have more power? or is it a software config issue ?
Based on the C&D and Dragtime [0-60] of 3.3 - 3.4 s , suspect these tested cars have more then 400HP, maybe I'll reach out Brooks at Dragtimes to see if observed max HP on display.

Horse power is the same but they change the throttle map to be less aggressive. It also takes away the AMG Emotion Start-up.

I'm working with sprint booster to prototype throttle controller.....I'm sure I'll get hate but I love them on these over delayed factory throttles

for me even in Track mode the throttle and boost map is kind of lazy, I get it it's a larger turbo that the 2L needs to move but still...

It’s not, just assume everything that comes out of your dealer’s mouth is a lie.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Source? Which dealer and what software? I'm taking my i4 in on Monday and I'll look into this.

So basically don't get a software update.

So basically don't get a software update.

But that update also speeds up from reverse to forward, which is quite important if you drive mostly in cities.
