Made for motoring connoisseurs, it can add up to 100 horsepower to an engine.
In a recent performance test, a tuned Porsche GT2 gained just over 100bhp running on BP Ultimate102 compared to an untuned model running on ordinary fuel.
nice bit of investigative journalism there.....

I read about this a little while ago, there's plenty of info on the BP website.

Is this suitable for a road-going S, I don't know, the site suggests:

If an engine has been highly tuned, performance benefits will be noticeable immediately. Full benefits will improve with continuous use. And it is also fully compatible with motorbike engines. The exceptionally good evaporation properties of BP Ultimate 102 in the engine make it particularly suited to engines which operate at very high speed.

The power increase is quoted as 4-7.5%

Interestingly the one garage around here stocking it, appears to be:
Egham Hill Connect
1 Egham Hill (A30), Egham, Surrey, TW20 0ET

Which is almost directly opposite the Ferrari garage in Egham as featured:

I wonder why?
