More than 450bhp/tonne and handles superbly. Could apparently outperform an R500 on the road! Thanks Steve. Has wishbones all road instead of the de Dion rear axle from what I read, plus many other upgrades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggontoast Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I think the CSRs look mega but have read of a propensity for the chassis/suspension mounts/etc to crack/fail, which doesn't seem great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The 390 actually had 397 hp, apparently. 3.8sec 0-60, so fast, but not crazy. About the same as a 5 seat, 2 tonne electric SUV these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Interesting day today heading home from Dartford to Crewkerne. Two McLarens spotted, one identified as an Artura V6 PHEV S-A from the reg, didn’t see what the other was. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_Artura Nearer home, an Ariel Atom which are fairly common near me given the location of the factory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Davis (fatblokestu) AO - Devon & Somerset Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 10:47 Nice Triumph TR6 for me this morning on the way in. It appeared to be one which has been entered into competitions of some sort, white roundel and driver and navigator names on the side. I didn’t catch them clearly, perhaps Bryan Green as driver? Some info and pictures of this car here from when it was sold previously. https://www.castleclassiccars.co.uk/showroom/vehicle/12/Superb-Triumph-TR6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heawooi Posted Wednesday at 12:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:17 I went to the gaydon gathering last night, all sorts of vehicles in attendance plus they got a prototype D-type out the museum and gave it a blast up and down the road. Think this sums up the vast range ... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
