Would like to know how quick (or not ) these are. Anybody got any published performance data? I've only ever seen one

Cheers

Cheers. 300+ bhp and v12!!!!
quite chuffed with keeping up with one up a slip road onto a dual carriage way - not bad for a standard scoob!

I have also done the same. Mind you, it probably weighs twice what a Scoob does

Good second-hand buy. When they came out they were the same price as a Ferrari

They look cool and are rare as rockinghorse doo-doo. Friend of mine had a test drive on a wet day, him and his mate did 20 laps of a roundabout in dunfermerline turning the traction control on and off!

Well, the 840Ci is 286bhp@5700 and 310lb/ft@3900. Weighs 1830kg, 160bhp per tonne, 0-60 in 7secs.

Less BHP/tonne than the scoob, though thats the 4 litre not the 5.....

later V12's were 380bhp

earlier ones were 300bhp and slower to 60 than the V8 but would imagine the 100 came up pretty damn quick!!

My old man sold his back to the dealer for a fraction of what he payed for it. Someone got an absolute bargain for £28k

Lovely car, both inside and out (he had BMW sports pack exterior)
