How on earth do they get 0-60 in under 5 secs in a front wheel drive thingy ?! Don't they just wheelspin !?!!

A standard GPX is no way as fast as a P1, 60-100.

Kosy - that's exactly what I'm saying it's not even close. About 7-8 seconds slower to 100

That's why I wrote """they think"""...........

I have never seen an FTO accelerate quickly on the road. At full throttle they are brisk but no more.
