They could have taken the engine closer to GT4 spec somewhere around 360hp. At this price this is obviously meant to be exclusive, track focused, and a showcase of their state of the art, so a bit of a disapointment they did not touch it.
As much as I prefer lightweighting to power I feel like they should have given it an extra 20-30 hp for the money that you know they are going to charge. It's a turbo engine, it's not like adding power is expensive.
Carbon fiber wheels may sounds cool but the drawback is it transmits more unwanted vibration unlike a magnesium or forged aluminum wheels not to mention its so damn expensive.
@@bertrandviolette9008 They don't exactly quote us a figure, but considering the overall is about 34 kgs, let's say they are 15 kgs lighter over all four wheels. The sprung mass, possibly 850kgs, unsprung 150kgs ... 15/150 = 10% reduction in unsprung mass! Which is obviously pretty huge for wheels alone! Especially considering that they are almost certainly stiffer wheels. Still, I wouldn't want to have an 'off-track excursion' with them anytime soon! So, I would personally go with a nice forged aluminum (possibly magnesium if cost is no object) wheel these days. They are going to be cheaper in the long run for any track car.
Somebody said the Double-Clutch Auto was technically lighter (no clutch pedal), but we all know it's just about the fact that they don't want to make their own manual transmission for it.

More power is definitely possible, being in Australia, the likes of Hollinger or PPG can rebuild the gearbox with dog gears making it almost indestructible. Cost? Erm... that's the problem. Might be noisy for the road though. 350 horsies is right on the money for this frisky frog.
