Surely DS is redundant...

On the Automatic Transmission cars, there has been a DS option for a while, as there is on most auto cars.
So moving the lever to the side to activate DS does the following:
Sharpens throttle response
Goes into a gear lower
Goes closer to the redline

Please add/remove/amend the above!

Putting the car into Sport mode also does all of the above, plus more, so what is the point in DS?


Thanks!
