How does the Sport Sharp (S#) mode affect the driving performance of the Subaru WRX (2018) car?

The Sport Sharp (S#) mode in the Subaru WRX (2018) car enhances the driving performance in several ways: 1. Transmission Gear Ratio: When you select the Sport Sharp (S#) mode with the select lever in the "D" position, the transmission gear ratio shifts from variable speed to eight-speed. This allows for more precise control over the power delivery and acceleration. 2. Uphill Control: The Sport Sharp (S#) mode prevents unnecessary shift-up or shift-down during ascent, ensuring optimal power delivery and performance while driving uphill. 3. Cornering Control: While turning, if there is a large centrifugal force, the Sport Sharp (S#) mode prevents shift-up, ensuring that the engine maintains its power and responsiveness during re-acceleration. 4. Braking Control: At the beginning of corners or other situations requiring heavy braking, the Sport Sharp (S#) mode automatically downshifts and gently re-accelerates, providing better control and stability during braking and cornering. 5. Sudden Acceleration Return Control: During acceleration, if the acceleration pedal is suddenly released (e.g., during corners), the Sport Sharp (S#) mode prevents shift-up, allowing for immediate power delivery and responsiveness when needed. It is important to note that the Sport Sharp (S#) mode is designed for maximum performance driving, providing an exhilarating driving experience with enhanced engine performance and control.
