What is the function of the 'Performance Mode' in an Audi R8?

I've noticed a 'Performance Mode' button in my Audi R8. What exactly does it do and when should I use it?

The 'Performance Mode' in your Audi R8 is designed to optimize your car's performance for racing, providing a more dynamic driving experience. It adjusts the settings of the engine, transmission, and suspension for better acceleration, handling, and cornering. You should use it when you want to push your car to its limits on a race track.

Think of the 'Performance Mode' as a way to unlock your Audi R8's full potential. By activating it, you engage a more aggressive shift pattern, improved steering response, and a stiffer suspension for tighter handling. Just be aware that it may reduce your fuel efficiency and comfort on regular roads.
