That is quick, but waste of a S really as there really designed for the corners, which I bet that S cant do.
Oh yeah? You think the weight of that turbo just took the cornering ability right out of the S huh?

I dont know If your american or not, but you sound like one.

Its nothing to do with weight, Im on about putting the power down exiting a corner, If your cars got that much power and you put your power on slightley too early, your in a hedge, besides a car that quick will of been designed to go in a straight line hence the anti-flip bar on the boot

Here's a far less erm.. entertaining pass by the same car, but half a second faster (although with a TV of 10mph less....)

I think it was designed only with a straight 1/4 mile line in mind!

Furio did say in his interview with the TV that driving an S was like driving a bike. Don't think he meant complete with wheelies though!

Don't really see the point in an S like that tbh. Amazing they can make it that fast, but still not sure what the point is
