ECOTY

[ajr550]

Has anyone seen how Speciale fared in Evo car of the year 2014 ?

[Hollowpockets]

Yes, great! Every journalist rated it 1st out of all cars, top marks, a first for ECOTY.

Jethro was bang on with his description of how the car handles and the driving experience.

I assumed it would win but that is outstanding.
Must get a copy and add it to the file !

Not disputing what a great car the 458 is however one has to ask the value of such tests when only last week Autocar with pretty much the same cars all rated the Jag last from memory.

[GRBF430F1]

Unanimous then but TBH look at what it was up against. If it was a boxing match it would not of been allowed in the 1st place its such a mismatch.
Doesn't say much that the 650S ( so much better than MP4 -12C ) is still so far behind.
There I was thinking McLaren may have sorted the car out in the latest incarnation but maybe not

Well they can Always claim there wasn't a 911 gt3 (RS) involved ;-)

Secondly why did they add a Ason Martin Vanquish when the entire world favoured the F12 by quite a margin..

And why did the Jag F-Type finish above the much praised Cayman Gts..........

And why did the McLaren finish so low............

And why did the Golf R finish above the much praised Megane.....

And why did they let an Audi S1 join the party.....

Why ??

I have not got it to hand, but like I say Autocar verdict was completely different, something like 458, cayman, 650,Renault

Car of year, but no P1/918/LF

70 out of 70 for the Speciale? I'm going to the atellier to spec mine this afternoon! Can't wait.......

Looks like a keeper to me.....
