Waiting to take possession of a CPO 650s. Some questions for items not completely clear to me as I browse the manual and the web.

Does Sport Handling mode loosen the ESC? The manual only mentions this as such for Track mode, but many reviews seem to indicate that it does so also in Sport.

Does the "ISG" sound level only change within the cabin - or externally as well?

Does the air brake (under hard braking) work even if I don't have "Aero" selected.


Looking forward to joining this club.

Welcome to the club, they are amazing cars

Not sure about the ESC, I would presume the answer is yes

The sound is best improved by dropping the rear window on the spider, I think the ISG is just internally

The air brake does operate under normal mode, you just can’t beat seeing your rear view mirror fill up with the sight of the air brake. Makes all the depreciation worth it 😆

Yes, cabin only, yes.

Thanks for the replies about cabin noise.

How about the Sport handling mode vs Normal - does it indeed relax ESC? The manual only refers to it stiffening the dampers.

Note the first comma in my reply above wink.

Yes it does allow quite a bit than slip than 'normal' mode, not just firm up the hydraulic suspension.
