“engine management light” came on, and shortly thereafter, Chris Harris was made acutely aware of a problem, with The Daily Mail quoting the presenter:
“I first realised I needed to get out when I opened the door and the flames went up my arm.”

That’s not very good for preproduction! Sounds like that car should have two lights:
“engine management light” and a “FIRE!” light.

And being a pre-pro model, pretty likely this was a fluke.

I would not be deterred in considering a purchase of one. (of course I'm in no danger of that, since they won't be in the usa)

Amazing tarmac rally history these cars have—the A110 won the first ever WRC event in 1973, at Monte Carlo of course.

The German Auto Motor und Sport Magazin tested the A110 on the Hockenheimring. It did on Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Tires a 1:14,0min. The 4C did years ago with the shitty PZeros also a 1:14,0.

Slalom looked good, but without ESC on its strictest mode it looks like the “moose” might have been a goner!

Probably very close to the 4C in tems of handling. Is there a similar video for our car?
Couldn’t find one. :-/
I would really like to see it compared to the A110.
 
Might be a repost, but Evo magazine this week gives the A110 4.5 out of 5 stars and says it is better than a Cayman.

And for EVO to say that ANYTHING is better than a Porsche, is something quite extraordinary.
I wasn't even sure that they would rate sex that highly!!! :grin2:
