Wow congrats. They do look nice, we need more pics though! Interior shots would be good!

Very nice, get your camera out :bounce:

And brake discs bigger than my wheels,
Possibly bigger than my Tyres too :-)

Superb, nice one David!

I suppose it would be a bit daft of me to ask if it goes well? :lol:

considering that it's 'just' the same engine as the 4S with two turbos strapped to it, I can't believe the difference in performance.
Doesn't actually feel like a turbo, just a massive wall of torque right up to the red line.
Seems to be more nimble too; don't know if thats the air suspension / PASM combination over the coils springs / PASM that the 4S had, but it is definitely different.

Found a straight bit of road last night and had to execute launch control for the fun of it...queue lots of giggling !

will try and get some pics tonight

Good stuff, I've heard that the air suspension is good with the PASM.

Like the sport design kit too.

David_W · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:41 pm

OK
a few more pics

Like the fact the speedo goes to 225mph

and to prove it's practical....

Stunning from every angle and clearly practical judging by the timber tied to the roof rack.

David_W · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:55 pm

it is..
wait till tomorrow;
it will have 4 x 600mm x 2.4m floor panels on the roof

don't think I'll give launch control a go with that lot on though....

Good man, good to see it being used properly too!

It looks great especially the speedo!

Here's one of mine being used in anger:

tr7v8 · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:17 pm

Umm do like these, just looked at the specs 520BHP 0-62MPH in 4.1 Seconds.....

Lovely car, had the pleasure of a 700mile round trip in a Turbo S truly epic cars.

I love the fact you've used it with a roof rack, when I had my Cayenne carried my mountains bikes inside, there made to be used

The inside looks a nice a place to be too.

Enjoy it.

David_W · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2014 11:28 pm

Jim - it's actually quicker than that with the sport chrono plus pack thats on the car
gives an extra 70NM over boost if you boot it !
0-60 comes up in under 4 seconds.....

bike racks are ready and waiting for sunday
