In a sport you get 4 settings for air suspension ie lift, comfort, dynamic and sport. The difference between dynamic and sport is noticeably firmer and the effect seems to sharpen the overall responses including turn- in. It does spoil the limo- like qualities of the 8 somewhat and is not appreciated by rear seat passengers but if you really want to push on it does make the car feel smaller more like driving a hot hatch. This does make for entertainment dismissing tailgaters in twisty sections when you get some clear road ahead. Having said that I use dynamic most of the time and find the ride and handling balance best for the rough roads I have to travel on most of the time. The 19 inch rims on my car are probably not ideal and I use sport more when I have my winter tyres on 18inch rims on the car.
