Sadly test drivers and rented cars seem to be involved in far too many serious crashes with these types of car

yikes

The dash looks like its more or less where the passenger seat should be. Hardly surprising no one got out of there in one piece.

Drove a bright green one on Satuday at Millbrook - around the alpine circuit, the high speed bowl and the mile straight (launch control is wicked!) in the wet. I thought the handling was confidence inspiring. Really suprised me. Although nothing topped being driven around alpine and handling ciruit by Valentino Balboni in an orange LP550-2 Balboni! And that was more frisky than the SL....

My understanding is that the new one is quicker etc. - but the original one is a little bit more raw.
