Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Much more than an M5 on steroids
- Astonishing linearity with all the major mechanicals
- Feels lightweight, even though it tips the scales at 1825kg
Misses
- Not the latest and greatest screen tech inside
- You'll need to ensure you can actually get yourself out of those front seats
- Australia only got 20 cars
