The test driver was a French VP of Nissan and he thinks it will be a smash hit
Test driver commentted that Porsche have a lot to be worried about (sure, haha
-cem)
It has been top speed tested in Germany at 180mph and was - "very stable"
Other test drivers have desrcibed it as "frighteningly quick" and "very smooth" certainly from the way it pulled away it was effortless.
Interesting clutch arrangement meant it had trouble staying stationary in gear (or maybe that was an issue not yet ironed out)
The Chief Designer (met him as well -Fuggles) said it will be difficult to modify a lot because it is very complex
They want to keep the front secet and it was suggested that what was underneath the camogflague was not the finished article anyway
