I don't know; I would think likely so. In the US market, at least, Sport+ is nothing more than Sport mode with the added suppression of DSC -- and all the cars have a separate switch for that, so the Sport+ mode isn't anything special, as far as I can see.
From my experience Sport + seems to downshift and up shift more aggressively. Steering also seems to increase weight as well. On a DDC car the shock tuning seems to change as well over Sport. Lots of "seems" in there; this has been discussed before in detail but I don't think we ever came to a consensus.
