RC F Video From Top Gear

Lexus Test Driver
OK we get it, all German cars are poor handling pigs and uber dangerous !!! I mean are we really talking oversteer when the guy floors it from a roll while driving straight with TC off? Guess we should just ban all cars over 200hp in that case.

If a road car needs TC on just to maintain contact with the road surface while going in a straight line then something is very wrong. That shows that the chassis is inherently unbalanced for the power it's putting down.
The M4 lost control at low speeds on a straight level road. Imagine this happening on a high speed track while negotiating a chicane. Any one other than a professional race car driver might be looking at a long hospital stay.

Any RWD car with decent power and TC off WILL break loose, straight line or not, with enough throttle. It's up to the driver to provide proper steering input and throttle adjustment at that point. You can probably do it with a family car. What does that have anything remotely to do with the chassis being balanced?

This video only shows what not to do on public roads. Drive with trc on and this wont happen even on a 1300 hp koenigsegg.

This is an example of the M4 being graceful and easy to handle :

It's ok. It's a lease anyway
