Sport and Sport Plus

PRINCE THUNDERNIGHT · 10-10-2023, 12:38 PM

Question. We all know about Sport and Sport Plus modes, but what about Sport Individual, where you can select both Sport and Sport Plus options together?

I know standard Sport Plus turns off traction control—but which options (in Sport Individual) actually kills it? Transmission or Engine?

Im wanting to select the fastest shifting response possible (via the paddles) while still keeping TC on for everyday driving.

I have been backwards and forwards through the manual, but can't find anything definitive about this?

I use Sport Individual and select my options then turn TC off and DSC off manually when tracking.

I don't think sports plus kills traction control as default

One press can change it to sport traction (needed for launch control
And long press turns it off

The issue with sports plus transmission is it will hold high revs for a very long time which is great if you're doing spirited driving but not just driving along

*edit

Sprint modes where it's at for small bursts
Hold the left paddle down for a two seconds and the screen flips to Sprint which is pretty much sport plus until you either start driving at a steady pace or hold down the right paddle for 2 seconds

I drive in Sport Individual with maxed out performance settings daily and the car nanny is active until I turn off DSC or DTC, with DSC activating the LSD feature if I'm not mistaken. You can definitely get into oversteer situations much more easily with DSC off.
