An Eco switch on the lower left control area of the dash makes calibration changes and dulls the throttle a bit to reduce
aggressive acceleration from a stop, often the largest consumer of fuel.
Not exact matches
More importantly, the once skittish transmission that would hunt and peck its way around the gear box seems to have found its groove and provides smooth shifts
from first through sixth, even when under
aggressive acceleration.
Every
acceleration from 50 to 75 mph leaves a deep dimple in the pit of your stomach, and the growling V - 8 is inherently
aggressive.
Pull the left - hand paddle - shifter and it gets even more
aggressive; let the computer do it for you and the rev - matching system reads the brake pressure applied and the pace you've been driving to deliver downshifts ranging
from mild to wild, but always exactly on point and executed in under 300 ms. Better, the power
from the engine and the quick shifts
from the transmission are maximized in their yield of
acceleration by the new all - wheel drive system, which shares its philosophy with that of the excellent new M5.
Vazquez: So beginning with 2008 model - year cars, the EPA is including results
from three additional test cycles in their calculations: One that includes more
aggressive acceleration and highway speeds up to 80 miles - per - hour, another with the use of air conditioning, and finally a 20 - degree cold start.
Acceleration is smooth and seems to redline way too early, a beautiful transmission is a pleasure to shift, the responsive steering has three settings
from comfort to normal to sports mode, and the sound of the 8cyl is
aggressive enough to make me smile every time I push the start button.

Optimized for circuit driving, Track mode invokes the most
aggressive settings and parameters to deliver the fastest and most consistent lap times possible, along with maximum
acceleration from a standstill when utilizing launch control mode).
