Does anyone know when the first road tests of the S are likely to appear? UK deliveries start in Oct I think, but as far as I know it hasn't been driven yet. Any gossip (ie not just tech specs) on how sporty it will actually be compared to original? Thanks

Is the S going to be similar to the GranSport? Just a upgraded version of the current GranTurismo? How much more power is it suppose to have?

It's got the 4.7 V8 from the 8C, and faster box (think it matches 599 now), also uprated brakes, suspension etc. keen to see what it's like on road before potentially taking the plunge.

First deliveries start in June in Switzerland (coincidentally same time as the LP560 hits dealers)
