All these small improvements could add up to a larger overall improvement in the car than we thought. (or it could be just marketing speak)

Either way, I hope I get a letter from my dealer inviting me for a test drive soon. It will be nice to thrash somebody else's S for a change!

Two tone horns, eh?

Cupholders?

SM

I think you're probably right.

Still, I prefer the Hendrix version

I think he might have liked the S2K, somehow.

Reading the blurb, it seems like we get all the good upgrades, Gear box synro's, suspension, tighter chassis, brakes, improved handling at the limit with the visual evolution as well. I wonder if the new UK car will have the same ratios as the current car.
Best of both worlds then

Sounds good, I'm going to test drive one at the first opportunity

I'm not sold on the looks. Will need to test drive one.
If it only revs to 8K I doubt it will be worth upgrading for me - am happy with the car I have now and the 9K rev line is what makes it special.

It revs to 9K, Dan - no change to the engine.
