Like the interior, but the steering wheels bottom aint flat
Glad to see there's no wood in there. Nothing against wood but in a techy sporty type thing like the S they seem better without it IMHO

its a shame the gauges and dials seem to not be white sports dials any longer either. Loving the diamond pattern leather seats though

It looks really nice, I really like the futuristic interior. Shame its not all electric. I guess batteries just arent there yet.

Must have some great torque curve, more responsive than previous S8ts

D4 (1975kg + 75gk)/ (4.2s x 513hp) = 0.95
D3 (1940kg + 75kg)/ (5.1s x 444hp) = 0.89
D2 (1865kg + 75kg)/ (6.7s x 360hp) = 0.80

The 'normal' fudge factor in the 0-60 equation, for a manual gearbox, is 0.9
The higher the better.
Must be a combination of more responsive gearbox and better torque curve.

I think the new twin turbo engine is gonna be a bit of a star - they are already saying very few people will buy a 6.0 w12 Bentley Continental GT when the 4.0 Twin turbo will perform even better but also return way more mpg
