So, oftentimes the sprint from 0-60 is as much as 3 or 4 tenths faster than 0-62 (100 km/h). Sometimes, carmakers gear cars to give good 0-60 times, then there’s a shift right at 60.

Anyway FFFFFF (#6), read carefully: it says 0-62mph in 5.5s Hmm with such 22″ wheels, the 740 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm is quite reassuring.

I think all high luxury cars should have very minimal tuning. I still believe with vehicles like this it is not about 0-60 mph timesheet, it is about enjoying a smooth ride. It is pure immaturity to start pimping 7- series, MB S-Class etc. It's like pimping a Limo- how ridiculous does that sound: extremely ridiculous. Long as they don’t bastardize the body that is fine.

They kept the mods largely performance based. I like that G-Power didn’t bolt on too many body parts and slap on wings and add scoops and fairing all over.
