Interesting.
Just ignore the "fashion" of the gray-haired. techno trance club pink-T-shirt-wearing, tongue-poking image of the guy lucky enough to be given one of the demo cars.
Clearly Dutch does not have a word for "flics" or "down force" ... : )
As for 320 km/h indicated at the red line on a public road ... just nuts ... who drives at 300 km/h looking away from the road to poke your tongue out at the camera?

LOL! Is it possible for anyone with a pulse to be more blasé or lethargic behind the wheel of that car? He might as well have been test driving the new Chrysler Town and Country minivan. Maybe Dutch doesn't convey excitement very well:-)

I prefer this one. It's translated, the guy can do a proper launch, and he doesn't look like he fell out of nightclub circa 1980.

He is a bit cramped in there, but then again, almost everyone I see in videos is driving like they're in a 60's Ferrari with their elbows locked straight.

Yes, I will lambast him with howls of derisive laughter, Bruce. He uses a monkey as a stunt double!

The publisher, AutoExpress, lifts some video of another driver, I think he looks the man we all love to envy, the magic monkey himself, Chris Harris -- here's a snap shot taken from the video as the driver does a little monkey magic and lets loose the 4.0 for a bit of gratuitous oversteer. Watch the video from about the 2:22 mark and you'll see a distinct change in vehicle dynamics ...
