Very simple question having recently bought a 2018 Gen 1 GTS with Sport & Sport + modes.
When 0-60 times and MPG are obtained for brochures and car specifications what mode are the cars tested in.

1) Std Mode
2) Sports
3) Sports +

If they are recorded in standard mode then why done they obtain the information in the other modes and and use them as a selling aid.

Just my guess MPG in standard economy mode. 0/60 in the sports performance mode.
Only my opinion I am sure someone will know exactly.
 
Speeds will essensially be done with a stop watch, possibly not a Timex, but Porsche are reputed to be conservative on such claims. They will publish economy figures to make everything look as economical and cheap to run as possible, remember DIESELGATE? Fuel consumption figures in sport, say from The Silverstone PEC, would scare everybody off! The best answer to your question on economy will be found at: https://www.wltpfacts.eu/
