Mega. Just mega, what a car. The sound, the front end grip, everything a Sportscar should be.

Looks like the rod bolts in this one are fine too!!

Pah! It struggled to pass that Vauxhall Nova until it got on the straight.

Nah, I'll give it it's due. That does look and sound very very good! The passengers grin says it all.

c.7:49 BtG, with hold-ups from traffic and a yellow flag, and made it look very easy.

IMO it looks too easy, looks and sounds just like an uber AMG or a supercharged M-DCT M3 to me and. While the lap was pretty quick it didn't seem to be mega fast in the fastest parts ??

HvS managed a 7:32 full lap in the Sport Auto test, so this lap was probably 40 seconds off the ultimate pace of the car. 7:49 is still a very quick laptime for a public TF session, but he wasn't really pushing it that hard.

I thought it was a pretty competent lap not pushing anything too hard.

Great lap, so economical with the controls, very little tyre squeal but a lot of speed AND a running commentary. That is some car, shame about the gearbox, makes the soundtrack a bit pony IMO.
