New owner here, one week in 👋🏻 so thanks for putting up with my dumb question.

I notice that when ESC Dynamic is selected in track or sport I still have to activate the variable drift control.

Question - aside from variable drift control what else does selecting ESC Dynamic do?

From memory it just makes it a bit looser and the traction control is less invasive.

Just be careful with the 720, you can get into triple digit figures whilst still driving up the road sideways.

This is a good summary. When I'm on it, and the road conditions are appropriate i always drive it in ESC DYN. Standard ESC way too restrictive

I don’t really know where to begin, it’s [Censored] ing nuts, turn everything up to 11 and let it rip and it’s truly mind bendingly terrifyingly fast.
The acceleration is from another planet and it just. keeps. going. I was screaming out loud, actually screaming.
Then stick it all in comfort and it’s like a mondeo, how the [Censored] they have done that is beyond me.


It’s horrifyingly quick - photos below

Ah from Hatfield, they’re nice guys. I just picked up a 650S Coupe from them and I found it terrifyingly fast too. A week later I’m getting used to it, at least upto 6.5k revs. And yes in full auto mode it’s so easy to drive. A 720 must be that ++

It's Onyx Black - I really liked the way it worked with the roof and canopy sections

Plus - possibly more importantly - so did my better half

Yup, that pretty much sums it up. The car is stupidly quick.


PS. apart from your sills, I think your interior is identical to mine smile

PPS. ESC DYN is the intermediate mode, with ESC still not fully off. When fully off, the car is basically Mr Hyde, rather its relatively benign Dr Jekyll personality. Save that one for the track smile
