Interesting!
The 275hp w8 is a little slower in automatic guise than our automatic 185hp 2.0L i-4 saab, and slower in manual mode than our BMW with the 191hp 2.8L i-6.
Not that impressive.
also 13.2 per 100km? Is this right? Isn't this about 17.3 MPG? Wow. Our saab gets 19/27 and the bmw gets 24/32! Big old american v8 sedans get 30 mpg highway!
Are we to be impressed by the W8?
