Performante Options ...
Discussion
Interesting. I can't discern much difference in exhaust note between Sport and Corsa apart from the idle speed increase. I find the suspension in Sport absolutely perfect for fast road driving. What I would like (sad I know) is the ability to fullscreen the nav with the car in sport.
An independent set up Ego mode would be epic. I quite often mix up the settings on the 650S spider especially with the missus in the car.
What I'm impressed with is the difference between strada and corsa settings. Its like 2 different cars and most noticeable.
Strada is so soft and quiet in comparison to corsa but sport is spot on for me on the road. Missus ( who isn't in to cars at all ) even noticed I slyly switched it from strada into sport mode lol.
Re the bucket seats what I have noticed over 300 miles of driving is there is a technique to sitting in them comfortably. Its not the firmness that's a potential issue but the lack of lower lumbar support if you slouch down in the seat and don't put the base of your spine right at the back of the seat.
First time I drove it I wriggled/slouched down into what I thought was a good driving position but after 90 mins in traffic it felt like my lower back was having a work out in the gym.
Since I have sat back and more upright and been in the car for 2 hours with no problem at all as your lower back is better supported. Appreciate this might be more of an issue with taller people given the windscreen rake

I did a big journey in my RS6 and then got in the Performante and had a bit of a sore back. However, since then I haven't had an issue even after a few hours of driving.
What I wish was available still are the CG Locks you used to be able to get for trackdays. It kept the seat belt tight around you (i.e. like a cheap harness alternative) which had the added bonus of maintaining your posture. It was excellent, but alas, no longer available.

Rambo - you weren't driving through the Southend area on Sunday afternoon by chance were you? If it wasn't you then I'm sorry to tell you that someone else has one identical to yours :-)
I sadly was in my Cayenne sat at the lights, thinking something had just fallen off my car with a loud bang, and this red Performante pulled up.

Nope not guilty your honour I was on the English Riviera and not sunny Salfend. I sadly was in my Cayenne sat at the lights, thinking something had just fallen off my car with a loud bang, and this red Performante pulled up.
Anishivin has a Rosso Mars Performante same spec as mine but with Black Narvi's so more than likely him as he is from up that way

(any there with passive suspension....?)
I really doubt you'll find one 
I was chatting to the product manager at Imola last year and asked why they didn't add Ego mode to the HP's revised setup.
Answer was that the 3-driving modes, along with mag-susp, delivered 3-characters, as they wanted straight out the box.

They didn't put it in because it was unique to the Aventador S and wanted to keep it that way for a while.I was chatting to the product manager at Imola last year and asked why they didn't add Ego mode to the HP's revised setup.

The whole point of Ego is so the driver can configure it to their own taste, Lamborghini say they didn't put it in because it was already to their own taste.
With regards to the variable steering and mag suspension - I thought the steering was too heavy in Corsa initially but notice it less the more you drive it. The suspension I've found less obvious, it's definitely firmer in Corsa but not as noticeable as the steering difference. Its the noise that differentiates the modes more the anything.
2nd time round I would probably go with the Mag suspension but not the LDS.

I went mag ride and non LDS and have no complaints. I find the difference in suspension settings quite noticeable between strada and corsa compared with the 650S comfort and track setting. That said the McLaren is far more comfortable all round even in track. Amazing hydraulic system even if it does detract a little from the racecar feelThe whole point of Ego is so the driver can configure it to their own taste, Lamborghini say they didn't put it in because it was already to their own taste.

Nice! Would love to join you on a run some time.
Is that Dan's on the left? I recognise the black roof.
If you know Craig he's the man who organises a few of these little jollies.Is that Dan's on the left? I recognise the black roof.
The dynamic steering is the correct option if you intend to track, as I have already, turns in is remarkable and great weight through out.

I'm glad to find someone here who likes LDS. I asked on LamboPower and everyone said it is essential so I ordered it. Then I looked here and there was no love for it.
