Retrofitting

vehicle is not permitted.
Background:
Technical modifications (additions/conversions) between delivery (reference point for the creation of the
Certificate of Conformity (CoC document)) and the time of first registration can jeopardize the consistency
between the CoC document and the actual vehicle configuration required by the WLTP.

As of 2025

Restriction:

Not for vehicles with I-no. 8VP (light panel with black “PORSCHE” logo)

process shown in the table. This process is necessary for ordering parts, as this takes a few days.
