KC is looking very hard at the M tech sports seats, but can't figure out how to fit a harness

These are modified Recaros. They have airbags in the side making them even more expensive.
Best bet would be to order a set of Recaros and get them redone.

the new design will defy conventional wisdom. according to the spec anyway, 400nm torque comes at 1200rpm, 100-300rpm earlier than the twin turbo n54. of course that doesnt tell us abuot lag, guess we will all find out when bill gets his hands on 1.

i never get pissed with my buddies!

its a single turbo, maybe there's a typo, the brochure says TWIN POWER TURBO and not twin turbo

launch may be earlier around 20th Oct
