    Drive Select mode and Tunes

    My car 2012 A7 3.0t with EPL 93 octane Stage 2 w/pulley.

    I had enabled efficiency and race mode before flashing the new tune through EPL. I was curious what changes that drive select made.

    I did not log or do anything other than drive it, no specifics but here are my initial observations.

    1. Dynamic mode is great, smooth fast power delivery, fast shifts with S mode
    2. Comfort feels maybe a little less power and smoother shifts in D
    3. Efficiency mode drive like stock, reduced throttle sensitivity this will be my goto for daily driving, since I will assume ill get factory or better MPG.
    4. Auto I have no idea what it is doing
    5. Race- Looks awesome to see on the screen, but cannot enable since it is not R8.

    Here is the VCDS coding to enable the modes.

    Does anyone else have any experiences with these?

    I just turned on the Efficiency and OffRoad mode. I wanted to choose the Race mode but decided to wait. I have used the Eff mode and the car stays in it even after you turn it off. Drives very conservatively which is how i try to drive it. Have read that Offroad and Race modes do not hold and go back to Normal mode. Have not tested it. It is slightly amusing to be able to do so with additional settings. I used OBD Eleven Pro to make changes. This is to a C7 2012 3.0 A6.
