Sport Button

Good point re the throttle depression. You do notice significantly how quicker the throttle responds to its length of travel or so it appears. The whole cars demeanor changes with one single push of a button.

A lot of people use their Cayman as an everyday car. Porsche usually introduce such features to please their customers. Perhaps research showed people preferred to have the car running 'sensibly' on most journeys.

Personally doubt a TVR could or would get used as an every day car down to the fact it's bonkers in every aspect.

As Phil says, for many owners the car will be a daily drive. In stop-start driving in my (manual) 987.2 CS I find the throttle response a bit too aggressive in Sport mode; the "longer" throttle in standard mode providing smoother progress.

According to the brochure, Sport mode ...makes throttle response significantly more immediate, adjusts the rev-limiter to a harder setting, tunes the engine dynamics...

Tuning the engine dynamics infers a more aggressive fuelling, cam and ignition mapping.

Bringing us firmly back to the emissions point which is a very good point nicely un-bemusing me as to why its designed that way round!

I get what you mean. But still preferable to forgetting to disengage the Sport mode every time and accelerating too hard

It must be a lot worse on the 981 though, where the auto stop/start is enabled by default. Read a few 981 owners putting it in Sport just to disable that feature.

I think it's default on all cars in 'Normal' mode now. At least it goes off in Sport, which also triggers the PSE []
