"It is the best handling sportscar in history"
0-125mph in 8.9

 

 

Why are people saying 600HP isn't enough for a supercar?

Guessing they don't realize it weighs 2900 pounds.

 

lol @ people whining about how it looks.

 

^ I agree. It isn't a bad looking car, and honestly I think this thing will be the king when it is released, not to mention what might happen as they do annual updates. I feel like this is the least hyped car in a long time that offers the kind of technology we're seeing.

 

cool, but not a huge fan

 

Did anyone else see the guy spray it down with windex? omg.

 

I expect it to beat the 458 performance-wise, but it doesn't generate the same passion for me as the Ferrari. Both have more performance than I can use anyway, so I would have gone w/ the Ferrari....at least until Chris Harris reminded how dickish Ferrari is do deal w/.

 

Was trying to figure out what you meant by that.. very interesting read: http://ca.jalopnik.com/5760248/how-ferrari-spins

 

If 0-125 in 8.9s, then 1/4mi should be low to mid 10s @ 133-138. That's only slower than a Veyron (high 9s). It still looks like a bigger brother of the Elise though.
