That's the LHD 1000 miles car mentioned in this thread - asking price is £150k. Previously for sale via MCP in Norfolk. New advert is basically a cut and paste from Wikipedia with some nice photos.
Thanks Andrew

Electric motor optimisation or anything else has nothing to do with tyre adhesion though. You could have 1 million hp in an electric drive with instantaneous and linear delivery and it still needs to transfer this into drive through rubber to the ground. You can only accelerate at the maximum sustained level of G the tyre will provide and no more. Optimisation of electric motors and systems etc all sound very empowering but to improve the actual performance in a 0-60mph test, this needs a tyre with increased adhesion and a reprogramming to take advantage of the new increased limit.

This is why all cars of this ilk approach the same 0-60 time. The tyres ultimately provides X level of grip, the software enables X level of grip to be attained. Nothing else is particularly relevant.
Sadly this includes the driver and unfortunately, an accurate representation of what can be achieved under conditions where LC is not in control. Not that any of it matters of course.

So it all comes right back to what is possible in terms of sustained acceleration G from the tyre. At 2.2 seconds that equates to 1.24G sustained.

FWIW, the only 2.2s time I have seen is in fact the car and driver one. Have you another published result where the same 2.2s was attained?

Don't wish to sound rude but you talk crap. A certain amount of G is required to achieve a 0-60 of 2.2, Through the optimisation of the e-motor the 918 can achieve this.....

Scroll down to the last Car and Driver Part. The time beams don't lie...

Sorry, its your thread....no not really unless you are into the 918, which like the 930 Turbo was for a while, the worlds fastest accelerating production car.....
I'm not being precious about the thread: I just think it's all semantics that you're discussing of which I would waiver nobody in this thread has the driver skill required to extract or determine therefore rendering it a pointless discussion....IMO of course.

Malton has one coming into stock very soon. 30k miles. I'd expect it to be six figures.
SCoM are showing two this evening for sale !?
Based on the conversation I had with them a few weeks ago I'd say they'll be asking well into six figures....
Get it inspected by another specialist pre purchase would be my advice whistle
