Yes, it's down on horsepower, but it's half a second slower. For the price compared to a new Vantage...the true competitor...this car has a lot to offer.
I've always viewed this car as the entry level Aston.
For one, the Vantage is exponentially better looking but the XKRS significantly outpowers the V8, V8 S and even the V12. My point is that with 550hp on tap...4.2seconds 0-60 just isn't very impressive. There are plenty of less expensive performance cars that are over 100hp down and make the run in the same amount of time (M3 comes to mind).
I respect that this thing is a GT and less of a sports car, but then again it seems like the aero kit, price, power upgrades and effort are hard to justify. How is it that the 550hp 6405lb X5M makes the run to 60 in about the same amount of time?
Every manufacturer that has ***** to put big wing on a back of a car gets a prop from me!
I also like new headlights, much more dynamic.
Oh yea?
Anyway, I think this thing is phenomenal in every way! It does have some race car inspired add ons, yet to me it still is pretty damn classy. I'll take one in white!
It's a GT car not a super car. Stop criticizing everything thats not a Lexus its really getting rather annoying.
This comment is way off because if anything MP has been very critical of Lexus and anyone can see that in his past posts. How about lets stick to the topic.
