I find it surprising that MBUSA doesn't even list this as an option in the car configuration tool.

The Dynamic Handling package with sports driving mode makes it possible to choose between a comfortable ride and an excitingly sporty drive with a push of a button.
Sport mode also adjusts the firmness of the damping system and boosts accelerator response, enabling you to feel engine response more directly. Regardless of the driving mode you select, the electronically regulated damping system always adjusts to the driving situation and road conditions. This increases the road roar and tyre vibration characteristics and driving safety, particularly the vehicle’s agility.
One part of the dynamic handling package is its innovative sports parameter steering. By changing the steering characteristic, it provides a particularly sporty steering sensation. The vehicle’s lowering by 15 millimetres makes driving around fast curves even more fun.

For further info, one of the componenets is active dampers/active suspension, seee more on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension

Is the reduced ride height permanent or adjustable with the push button similar to airmatic? I'm wondering if this option is just asking for trouble as most roads in the US are really crummy and infested with potholes. Reduced ride height, stiffer suspension and bigger rims sound like a recipe for disaster on less than perfect roads.

I thought that DHpkg also come with pedal shift behind the steering wheel and 3 driving mode (instead of 2). Coupe's ride height is already lower then the sedan and I found my C sport sedan is more bumpy compare to my C32 amg.
Also I don't think DHP is airmatic, it might just a value closing device on the shocks to limit the movement of the shock to make it travel less...just like those bike suspension forks that you can adjust the damping...not sure it really lower another 1.5 meter.

How does DHP's torque vectoring work? Is it like the 4ETS system on a 4Matic except it only works on the rear wheels, i.e. brake will be applied if left rear starts to slip and more torque will be applied to the right rear simultaneously?
