Most decent cars have that now don't they? Performance/sports cars (well, decent ones
) have had it for 30+ years...

Thanks for comments.
Hinged throttle is no bother, the wife has a Golf so same as on there.
Perf wise supposedly 60 in 5.8 IIRC, 265PS, emissions are 217 I believe.

Not sure about the wheels - maybe a bit too understated but that interior and the flat bottom steering wheel are to die for.
would imagine not long before Superchips/DMS/West Tuning etc. are offering 300bhp + upgrades

BB in Germany already are at 306bhp!!! It is one seriously rapid car as standard, not sure I will be risking warranty for silly power!!

Expensive option those buckets, also rear access is difficult and I have two children so 3 door was a leap of faith.
