Just ordered the T440R

[Don]

What a monster! So do tell...now its run in...

I am certain that the straight line grunt is nothing short of the Infinite Improbability Drive but what's the handling like?

When do you take it to the track?

Id love to get in touch with the Harrogate based owner of road going car 1
has anyone an email address for him?

[Swilly]

Seeing the photo's of that T440R I now feel inadequate.

I can feel my balls shrinking already

Monstrous.

Surely the owner is 'Int' in this thread?

[tuscanyes]

Int,

Has it been fitted with the sequential box or is it the standard CR box??

If so, whats it like??

ps. it looks fantastic!!

[andyvdg]

Brilliant! Any chance of getting some broom broom sounds on the web to go with the pictures ?

Cheers,

Andy.

Thanks for putting the pics up pies. To clarify the car in primer is car No 2 taken two days ago when I was last up. I'm having Armafend make up a template in the next few weeks and would recommend applying to any other owners out there.

[pies]

So if yours is no2 then int is deffo no1 build

Is it just me or?????????

Almost identical, you boot it on the M3 and wake up in Hospital 40 miles away 3 days later

Quite the stunning motor, good work, good work

[dobbo2]

Kill me now. It was bad enough when I couldn't afford 45k on a new Tuscan, now I can't afford 75k on one of these!!!

Handling is brilliant and very different from a standard tuscan at speed. The acceleration is phenominal. I believe the sequential box is almost ready.

I'll take it to a track as soon as i get a free mid week day and a suitable track day/test day. Probably early december.

Bertie, Bertie, Bertie...I'm so disappointed in you particularly since you are a former Tuscan owner.

We need cars like this that don't subscribe to cheese wedge on the side look. I understand your comparison but it is unruly and unfair.

Panting for a full review from any of the expected sources.

Yes!....it is just you

[bertie]

Ok,ok...but you know where I'm comming from!

Made me laugh anyway!

Hello to LNT, DoctorD, John and everyone else that is interested in the R. Delighted to see it cause so much interest. Might not spend too much time on here in case it turns into hard work, some of these rumours aren't too good for the blood pressure. Thought I'd just register for now, will add some useful comments another time, goodnight.

[tuscanpaul]

Does anyone know the additional cost for the supercharged engine? I am seriously considering selling the 'S' and ordering a 550. (I am also seriously considering the beating/tongue lashing I'll get from the missus if I do though)

Hello Ecosse!

I presume you are connected with the development side of the T440R somehow?

Hopefully it won't turn into too much hard work for you! The moderators will make sure it doesn't!

Glad that someone will be here on occasion to give first hand information and guidance for this great car.
