    the other interesting thing about that "test" (apart from UK journos giving 1st place to a UK car - how amazing) was the inclusion of the LP670. With extensive electronic control of the 4WD and flappy paddles, which part of it is an "analogue" supercar?

    As for the Noble, spare me, a plastic kit car with a blown Ford Mondeo engine and an interior that stinks of glue. Again, only the poms would put one in the same test as an F40 or F50.

    The old one was a Mondeo engine. Mondeo's don't come with V8s, so this one is a Volvo engine :p Soon to be seen powering the Volvo V8 Supertaxi entry, apparently.

    Well, what do you expect? We include commodores and falcons in our road tests with Porsches and Ferraris.

    No other car had the same "extra" video of the sound from the inside like that ... hardly fair. But yes it did some good, but on the pass by not so special.

    Good job I guess ...
