AT THE PROVING GROUND

-

0-60MPH 2.92s

Ruddy ’eck. A howling crosswind at the strip should hinder times, but this is amazing. Only a Hayabusa is quicker.

1/4 MILE 11.1s

There’s nowt shabby about 129mph in 11 sec, but in still conditions expect an easy mid-10s quarter. So brisk, then.

70-0 MPH 55.9 m

Brakes feel mighty, but this is below par. Wind isn’t helping, but this is still behind what we’d hope for given the set-up.

40-80 ROLL-ON 4.40s

Top gear, nail it, and the RR hits 80mph ahead of a Busa, Rocket 3 or H2. Only a Streetfigh­ter V4 beats it... by just 0.03s.
