Chucky hatte es schon mal gepostet, aber hier der Text in voller Länge. Dabei finde ich sehr interessant, dass die sportliche Abstimmung "agressiver" als die vom Vorgänger und eher mit dem JCW-Fahrwerk zu vergleichen sei.
ZitatThe suspension is not simply redesigned. Each level of that tuning has been rethought. MINI engineers explained it to me like this: Consider the base Cooper S suspension at the “0’ point — the neutral — between performance and comfort. When equipped with variable dampers, the suspension has a range of -10 in Normal / Green modes, and +10 in Sport mode. Then there’s the optional stand-alone Sport Suspension, which is at a +30 to the performance side of the scale. Reportedly, the updated Sports Suspension is more aggressive than today — equivalent to the R56 JCW factory sports suspension setting (not the dealer installed kit). We only drove MINI’s with the variable dampers, but given my personal experience, I’d likely opt for the sport suspension if I was buying a performance-oriented MINI. However if I was buying more of a daily driver or commuter MINI, the variable dampers would be hard to pass up. That said, I would have liked greater differentiation between the two settings. The difference was noticeable but not as dramatic as I had hoped.
Laut Chucky ist die sportliche Abstimmung tatsächlich recht knackig. Somit scheint sich die Einschätzung in dem Text zu bestätigen.
Somit sollte man, wenn man es wirklich sportlich mag, die sportliche Abstimmung nehmen. Soll es aber nur etwas sportlicher, aber auch mal komfortabel sein, dann eher das adaptive Fahrwerk.
