Driving
Urban
Urban mode provides a default comfort setting, best
suited to casual driving. The vehicle is set to use a base
transmission calibration with slower and softer shifts, lighter
steering and the suspension will be at its softest setting. The
diffuser flaps will remain open to reduce downforce and improve
cooling, and the engine will provide a limited level of engine
braking. To remove distraction during normal driving the shift
lamps will be disabled
Sport
Sport mode provides a more focussed drive aimed
towards the enthusiastic driver. The transmission uses
faster and harsher gear shifts, and there is an increased weighting
to the steering. The shift lamps will also now be active on the
steering wheel to show optimal gearshifts. The suspension has a
stiffer level of damping and ride height will lower by 16 mm. The
diffuser flaps will now be dynamic for maximum downforce and
there will be a greater level of engine braking.
Whilst handling is in Sport mode, ESP is set to Sport (S).
