Couple of shaky video’s below (taken on a private road) this evening.
First one is a rolling start from 10mph in first gear only, which gets me to about 56mph. Note this is about ¾ acceleration power otherwise ESP would kick in.
First Gear Video
The second one is a rolling start from 18mph in first gear at full power, and the ESP kicks in pretty much straight away (road about 95% dry) and kills then engine. It then drops into second gear as the engine died, and I floored it (without kick down) and traction re-gained at about 75mph when the ESP light stops flashing, changing into third at about 90mph, to 115mph as I backed off.
Second Video
Now if only I can find a place to use some of this power on a daily basis. Germany maybe?
If I get some time tomorrow I’ll see if I do write a quick three-week review of the car.
Regards,
Matt.
