    That's the thing... CTR and Sportivo don't have high kW lol

    Torque output doesn't mean a car will be faster, otherwise we'd all be driving diesels.

    I doubt the N/A thing will happen anyway.

    You've missed my point entirely.

    Most people who buy a 100k car don't have a spare 100k, they finance it.
