Just had its 6 week birthday, currently on 4200 miles....
Last tank it achieved 45.1mpg so thats getting better.
Also had a play against some of my friends cars:
Its slower than a C63 and a E60 M5.
Its faster than Golf R, SLK 55 and an E46 M3 CS.
Its even with an RS3 and a 997 C2.
Quite...
Exactly.
The Mazda did what they'd do in any situation (They were even crawling out of the junction, the speed of the Lambo caused the accident, by being unable to stop) and was hit by someone going over the speed limit and who wasn't anticipating any risks, which you really have to do in...
Oyster suffers wear very badly though. One of our fleet cars has it and its had 3 replacement drivers seats and the bolsters still die after about 15k.
This is why I don't get the people who said this video isn't evidence. There are loads of fixed objects in it which have a defined length, and at 30 frames a second you can be fairly accurate which way you slice it up. I'm fairly certain from impact to the nose clearing the front of the Nissan...
In the vid the Lambo takes 0.2 sec to travel the length of a Qashqai (With frame rates it was probably less that this). A Qashqai is 4.37m long. So 0.2 sec to go 4.3m = 21.5 meters/second AFTER the impact.
21.5m/s is 48.5mph.
So yeah I'd say he was speeding.
Twin turbo in this, one tiny variable vain one and an large one (none variable) which the small one draws air through to spin it up.
M550d are a 370bhp triple turbo version of the same 3litre block.
