Well - it's only been a day but am like a kid in love. Car is everything and more than I had hoped. Running in (600 miles) is painful but even so the "True Character" is clear.

If i am honest straight line performance is probably on par with the supercharged S but handling is stupidly good!

Fit and finish is fine - a pre delivery concern.

Will write a more objective report once I am past being smitten, suffice to say - am delighted!

With less power and more weight it shouldn't be close. It has a slightly better power to weight ratio than a standard S.

but handling is stupidly good!
I would expect that.
