Sport mode just changes the ratio a bit, and ratios change at higher rpms. It doesn't restrict to higher rpms like normal cvt having S option as in civic. For that funkaari, i use manual mode..or shifters to change ratios near redline..and it really takes off.
Since its cvt, that's why m writing ratios and not actual gears. So far atleast till 100-130, i found it quicker than Oriel..but not sure at top speeds as i just get crazy for new seconds
