That's about 1:15.5 for a lap, while carrying an extra passenger. Without the passenger would be probably a new record

Well, with a v8 it will be much faster, what slowed the old v8 was its tyres! The kumho's are far better than the old r888's!!! This set up with the v8 will be the faster than the 3.5r I think! Much more economical the 3.5r though!!!

well, in this trim, it's probably faster around tracks than the old v8. it just kills every supercar alive.

So they have dropped the exquisite V8 in place for a much cheaper and sensible forced induction 4.

Can't really blame them for that.

although im sure it would be worth every penny if i could afford it! haha

£100 000 when speced with the sequential box and atom V8 areo kit.

yikes

Just stick a 6.0L V12 in it.

Plus i dont think 60k is cheap, Its cheap for being fast...But thats it. I think its overpriced for a toy.

I prefer this to the 500 v8 because it is better built and should do similar laptimes despite the power disadvantage.

This destroys everything less than a hypercar... For relatively modest money.

That car looks to be a blast to drive.

Im big fan of this Toy.
It is that fast, very "pure" machine. Its not that cheap but its not expensive if we consider that it offers so much more than even the most expensive supercars in term of feel, integration, lap times.

0-100 kmh: 2.6 sec
