Hi
its a bit to early for that i think , have they even started shipping them to customers.

i would think its very like the XKR XJR but lighter and +30 BHP mmhh sounds like a nice recipe, awsome mid range , great top end .

My neighbour is I think getting one in about 5 weeks.

It looks quite nice in the brochure... I'll ask him if he drove it, but he mentioned that he doesn't think there are any in the country yet...

Specs I've been given are:
291KW (395 DIN HP)
541 Nm Torque (luvverly!!)
6-speed slush box (not so luvverly)
0-100kph (61mph) 5.6 secs
LIMITED (remember that thread) to 250kph!!
Consumption average 12.5l/100km = 3 galls to 60 miles!!!! seems a bit thirsty!! but 1800 kgs of iron!

oh ok if they are 1800kg forget my earlier post !!! i thought they would be lighter than that , my XKR is 1850kg and will happyly bounce off the limiter going up a pretty steep hill with its punny 370bhp , they are heavy on gas when in hard use but i still average around 19mpg with a mix of thrashing and more gentle cruising, not bad for such a big motor, im sure the S type R will be a great car .
