There may be a name already…Jonny Lieberman with MotorTrend posted this in another forum. MAX POWER MODE.

THAT SAID, we had access to a special engineering menu where we could program our own drive modes!! I should have taken better notes, but we could dial up rear-wheel bias and traction fully off for a super rally mode. Stuff like that. The truck also had a Max Power Mode, which not only played the clip from the Simpsons Max Power episode, but then overboosted the motors. It probably dropped the 0-60 time by half a second or even more.

Leaves Rivian with a margin to improve on. I doubt that it will happen though, but it would be nice if we could turn up the wick and go 10's as it is capable of doing.
