Report card

Exterior: Excellent.
Smooth, sleek and bullet like. Its wide stance and deceptively long body add to its intimidating exterior.

Interior: Excellent.
The seats hold you firmly in even the tightest of corners.

Safety: Excellent.
Front, knee and side air bags. Precise handling, stability control and anti-lock brakes.

Performance: Unbelievable.
Fast and furious.

Pros: Beautiful and beastly:
Will be noticed everywhere you go. Other super sports cars are often considerably more.

Cons:
Don't drive it to any Green Peace meetings. Powerful engine means more fuel consumption.
