Yes he can. Fastest celebrity on the leaders board "star in a reasonable priced car".

Knows his stuff, did a great review on the Porsche 911R. Can't wait for his opinion on the GT. New Top Gear series starts March 5.

Kudos to him - pedal to the metal (carbon)

Jade Buford (Mulitmatic racer and test driver) posted this on his Instagram. Bit of a unicorn with the Heritage Edition and carbon wheels. Not a configuration that is actually available, as all Heritage cars get the gold aluminum wheels, right?

That is TT03.

Are the photos were the car is parked but in the low mode have the engine running? I think it was said that you can't park & turn car off to keep it the low C&C mode.

When you shut the car off the suspension will rise,, The Wing will not retract until you drive to 15 mph.. for safety reasons.. they want to ensure no one is back there to get fingers cut off .. :)

Key off - then lowered down.

My observation of the lowering with key off, was from the delivery video at the Garage Mahal yesterday.

To be fair, We could both be correct, if that is a programable action.

from Dave's post :No, I think the front lifter functionality works at low speeds. I'll have to double check. I'm just certain you can't do the full drop unless the car is stopped and dial turned to P, which makes sense when you see how ridiculously slammed the whole car is.

So we were both wrong. Lowering (at rest) is a function activated by gear selector, not the key.

If the car is in the vmax or track mode it will only stay low while the engine is running.. What you saw was the car lowering from having the front end raised from lift mode. The car will drop from Front lift mode when the car is shut off .. The Cat is correct..:biggrin

Ok so now that the Comp cat is out of the bag, that's why TT 05 didn't have all the details listed. It's somewhat of a FrankenComp. Doesn't have 100% of the package but did have the single gloss CF exposed stripe and A-pillars.

The car at Sebring is a different car, and it is the full deal with the proper Ti exhaust and other bits.

Wow now I understand why DBK didn't answer my PM about the exposed carbon stripe [emoji3]option. Just wish AC add back was an option. In MN no AC is almost forgivable. I'm probably leaning this way.
