Would look even better without those wings.

I would imagine the engineers at ppi put that wing on for a reason, the car probably needs it to still handle decently at 192mph. I doubt they put it there just for looks.

TDI is better, this tuned one is not very long lasting I think.

Last time i checked the bench markin super cars was a 2.8 sec for 0 - 100m sprint. 4 seconds is way short of being the the bench mark, not een 4 wheel or all wheel drive as super cars are meant to be wild on the track and not glued to the track. However it will set the benbchmark to Grandmas shopping trolly. Supercars are in the form of Bugatti, Enzo,McLaren F1 road car, Zondo, Viper, Porsche et. The Bugatti then again is different and sucks on the track (all wheel again). Maybe humans must start moving on all fours too.

Anyone who speaks ill of this car needs to rethink their life, because is it apparent there is no joy to be had with maintaining the status quo. I want to leave a deposit on this car.

Bench mark doesnt mean its all about performance, if you really want performance get a Go-kart. Sure its not as fast as the porsche turbo but you see porsches every where everytime, nothing special anymore. Bugattis are great cars, but you'll be visiting the service station every 15mins. Zonda...nice but no elegance or luxury, Viper? Please...american rubbish. Enzos are nice but styling? Luxury? they are missing. Mclaren is great but R8s are meant to be "an everyday super car". Different category. Bugatti, Zonda, Enzos and Mclarens surely are not for everyday use. Enough said.
