Default Performance System

Bueatiful weather over the weekend: After car wash and yardwork, we decided to cruise the back roads in my area. Got to a point on the road where other cruiser were enjoying the weather in a slower manner. So I decided to flex a little muscle and passed three cars, during eccellaration a message popped up "Performance System Activated". I had it on the "Sports Mode": What happen when that system is activated?

Is this a special option or is it a standard equipment?

What does it contain?

You did not state if you had a Auto or manual, if you have a A6/A8 it will hold a lower gear longer (performance Shift Mode) if a manual I will assume it has something to do with Rev Matching.
