Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling an internal-combustion engine ( 1 ), the method comprising steps of: determining, in a preliminary adjustment and set-up step, a number of threshold values (S recognizing a selection of a user to enable a “sport driving” condition that favors performance of the internal-combustion engine; determining, in operation, a value of driving torque (C) requested to the internal-combustion engine ( determining a first time derivative (Ċ) of the value of the driving torque (C); comparing the value of the driving torque (C) with a first threshold value (S comparing the first time derivative (Ċ) with a second threshold value (S enabling the “sport driving” condition only if the value of the driving torque (C) is higher than the first threshold value (S controlling the internal-combustion engine (
