I think it means extra special position. kinda like a race mode or hyper-sport mode. I could be wrong though lets see if someone can verify this. I could search but im feeling lazy.

I searched google and found this:

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
When piloting an Audi TT if you enter a corner too fast for road conditions (wet or snow or mud) and suddenly let off the gas to slow yourself down (which is what most people do) you will experince oversteer. This simply means the back end of the car will slid out and point the car sharply into the corner as the front end trys to swap places with the rear end. ESP will try to save you by electronically applying individual brakes to individual wheels to get the TT pointing the right way.

"Electronic Stability Program"
