This is mainly because the country where an only a single version of the vehicle is launched facilitates the vehicle to deliver its expected performance.

But, surprisingly this is even not the actual performance that it can deliver. The performance that is delivered by the vehicle is determined by parameters determined in the software installed in the engine control unit of the vehicle. Interestingly, if an expert changes those parameters then the vehicle can be brought into its original position where it can deliver the performance, that has been hidden by the manufacturer. The process of editing those parameters is known as remapping.

But with increasing use of computers and vast technical developments in methods of car manufacturing, use of software for determining the performance of the car was used by the manufacturers.

The software was installed in the engine control unit of the car, that is placed closed to the onboard diagnostic port. During remapping the mechanic either re-writes the program installed in the software or completely installs a new software to enhance the performance of the vehicle. The process of installing the new software is carried out through the laptop.
