Every car loosens up with running-in (breaking-in). I would have doubted the car had this, but anything is possible. I mean, if it can change the red-line due to engine temperature and conditions, it could do this with the E-Gas pedal.

The real question is, did it become gradually more powerful, or did it just open up as soon as it ticked over 4,999 km. That would be pretty funny and cool if that were the case. There's certainly enough electronics on board to accomplish it.
