Is this right?

As with the Evora, suspension is by double wishbones all round with fixed-rate dampers. On the V6, customers can choose between a softer, more road-biased Tour set-up and a more tied-down, track-ready Sport one. The latter comes with the Driver’s Pack, which includes a switchable exhaust, ESP Track mode and, on the automatic, launch control. Confusingly, our First Edition test car had the Tour suspension with the Driver’s Pack, a combination that is no longer sold.
 
At 37k it might actually make sense to pick up a second Emira! With increased smog regulation, tariff wars and inflation- it might actually be a decent investment.
 
It's true in the UK at least. You can only option the Driver's Pack (switchable exhaust, etc) with Sport suspension on the V6. With the I4, it's available regardless of chassis choice.
Ah OK thanks fellas, it's standard in the US with both suspensions.

the US configurator was like that for awhile but they fixed it to allow both. Although in the US the drivers pack is standard and you are just picking suspension
