It rides on OZ Racing wheels with summer tires in all four corners. This vehicle is an absolute joy to drive. The seating position is all business, the exhaust note is incredible, and the acceleration will excite even the most seasoned driver. The V8 has nice torque even from no RPMs and then once the turbos spool up an exhilarating whoosh of power is unleashed. If you've never driven a turbocharged car before, it is a sensation you must experience. This is a car that is for the driving enthusiast.
This Particular example is possibly one of the cleanest low mile offerings we have ever seen. [ omitted ]. [ omitted ].
