ELI5 How does switching a car into sport mode work?
gpt
Sport mode programming tells the gearbox to favor higher rpm, in order to keep the engine closer to the power band — the rev ranges where it makes the most horsepower and torque....most cars are programmed for fuel efficiency, so the 'sport' mode will keep the vehicle in the optimal power band (wasting more fuel) to ensure you are faster.
