MGTF Stepspeed - Steptronic Driving, Flappy Paddles and Gear Changing.



In the Drive position, the car will move forwards in standard mode. The engine speed
will be limited to approximately 4500 rpm unless kick down is used by fully depressing the
throttle pedal when the engine speed will rise to approximately 5500 rpm.

In the Manual/Sport position, the car will move forwards in sport mode. The engine
speed will be limited to approximately 5000 rpm unless kick down is used by fully depressing
the throttle pedal when the engine speed will rise to approximately 5500 rpm.

In Sport position the transmission will be tuned in a different way than in Drive mode. The
transmission will upshift at a higher engine speed, providing more sportive driving. The Sport
driving calibration is designed to be more responsive to driver command, but will be less
refined than the D position.

"So basically, you can tootle along in drive all day and 'boot it', whenever you need speed fast, and it will respond. In drive mode it sits at around 3000rpm cruising until you need power. When you see that you need power in advance, like a hill climb or overtaking, you can switch to sports mode and it gives you that extra power surge.

For an added bit of 'Oomph' I flick the lpg fuel over to petrol for another 15% increase in responsive power. Sports mode revs up to 6000rpm on my car when petrol is selected (gas to petrol takes 1 second to switch over). It really does give a 'turbo charged' push feeling."
