Hefty in reply to @Dammit

I once met the son of Sir Clive Sinclair. He was driving a beaten up, unwashed, debadged S65 with a child seat in the back.

I nodded knowingly at his nonchalant disregard of depreciation and running costs.

S65 cost twice what an S63 did, and got to 60mph 0.1 seconds faster. 13mph on the top end mind, and IIRC an extra 200 feet of torque

Blimey. I didn’t know that. I thought it was maybe a £120k car but it looks like it was more like £200k.

The Sinclairs were OG tech bros.

I wonder if at 200kmh on the autobahn the V12 suddenly makes sense.
