... interesting. Must be some rational explanation. I have 18-way seats, am 6'2", have driven a track this fall where I spend little time in the 100-120mph range ... either slower or up in the 120-140 range for a bit. Does the buffeting stop after exceeding a certain mph, or just get worse.

Perhaps some engineer on RL, or seasoned track junkie, can chime in here ...

Yeah, either start specing the car or buy something else...At this point, information would be great. Sure I have a #1 slot but with some press still talking about it being very limited, it might mean nothing.

I solved the issue. Raising each window about 4 inches solves 90% of the wind buffeting. At 150 mph it was fine.

I think 3-4 inches of window will still be fine with most DE organizations.

I think overall spec is reasonably well known, just not clear what will be standard and what will be optional.

PDK, as expected :-(

Shame he didn't crawl under the back and check for RWS.

Yea, but we have no official specs though. Any guess what Canadian MSRP will be, I have deposit down and hoping for an allocation.

Not sure if you guys noticed, the steering wheel looks very much like the 918 wheel.

So is a turbo, and more efficient to boot. Let's dump normal aspiration too while we're at it...

looking at the front shot of the car showing the fender slats, it almost looks a bit tacked on. the edges of the fender walls aren't rolled at all, they look sharp and unfinished.

wonder if they are still trying to throw folks on final front fender design.

edit: it might be more finished than I think, the closeup shows trim work, but still just feels....off
