'Up to 520bhp'?

I'm sure Clarkson said a car mag had dyno'd a standard one and it was putting out 507 Shocked

If 520 is the official figure touted, imagine what it will really be belting out Shocked Shocked Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

The "official" figure's nearer 450 I think, so if that's true they've got quite an increase. Also, the weight loss should add to the general madness of it all... Bow down Thumbs Up

After seeing one in the flesh today at the London Motorshow, i am very interested in getting hold of one of these next year. Only downsides i could see to the whole car was: literally no room in the back for someone with legs.. im not the tallest of chaps, just a reasonably medium 5"11, and with me seated in my usual position in the car, i could not have even got my arm in between the rear seat and the back of the front drivers seat.. Boot is good, materials and switchgear all good, price is reasonable for a car of this performance capability.. we know the stats will be good! Reviews all good..

One thing i like is, the car will only be available across 10 'performance' centres in the UK and your sale and after sales service will be co-ordinated by a personal concierge, no dealer staff to talk to whatsoever after point of sale. One question i asked was: Nitrogen filled tyres from the factory, say you have the scenario of you hit a large pot hole, and your tyre pressure control sensor goes off.. you can't exactly pop into BP and fill the tyres up to reccomended level can you using the air pump, or can you?

He said no, your concierge would take full responsibility to get this issue sorted on your behalf.
Hmm.. would like to see how this will work in practice and whether this concierge service will be successful even with small rather menial tasks such as this..But still impressive none the less.

Wish i had ordered a while ago though, £3.5k deposit now!

I wonder if the concierge service is something that Nissan are arranging in-house or will it be provided via Mondial like LRA, BMW ES etc.... Question

I know i know mate.
But, 50 people were already in the line, we wouldn't have got 'early' ones.. so lets just be prepared to pick up loose order when they roll out next march. Have already told Andy at middlehursts to bear us in mind!
