Sport mode....

Well dropped the kids at school today and carried on driving to work.
At one point of my route I go through 30 areas and then there is a sharp turn to a road with 60 limit. Surprisingly this morning traffic was dead and that road was empty...
Took the turn, activated sport mode and bloody heeeellll...This is proper scary stuff. Nose of the car lifted up and I was on the brakes pooping myself :O Didn't even realise that I hit 60.

On a more serious side; I cant see it being usable to be fair. Car becomes extremely jerky, you feather the pedal and it jumps. I think I will stick to ECO lol.

Most very high powered Leccy car's. Don't make any sense at all. And certainly not very usable on our Camera infested roads.
Still bloody nice, just to know, it's there, though. And use occasionally.

I think with current road conditions, traction is a real issue. It is a heavy car but tyres and compounds remain the same as other cars. That applies to all EVs being heavier. the jerkiness is probably all the stability controls kicking in. Shifts between front and rear torque and torque limitation. So the wheels start slipping, torque gets cut, wheel grip then torque applied etc. Being electric, it would be much more violent than ICE. Forget about this lard of a car, have you not seen those clips of 5-600+bhp Ferraris and Lambos spinning off?

We have 745bhp. And no torque curve, or should I say, a torque cliff!

To be fair I didn't notice any slipping or loss of steering control.
The pedal response was jerky. I mean I was feathering the pedal and the car was jumping forward.
I am really surprised by some reviews where they claim that there is lag in the acceleration.
I experienced nothing but lag. It went like a rocket. Reminded me of the Tesla model X I had for a month (long story) which was the top spec and had the ludicrous mode.

No you won't notice. The stability contril kicked in. Adjusting and regulating torque.
