As if the regular version wasn't good enough... DAYum! That will be a truly incredible vehicle.
One of the YouTube comments was saying the car "better live up to the name". I am sure no one knows this more than Ron Dennis.

I know somebody who drove this car because he purchased one (to be delivered in September). Well his feedback is really clear:
Chassis has a new meaning with this car...
Performance is amazing too.

Here are some real figures:
Bedford Autodrome West
F458 - 1:19.3 (120.0mph (Michelin Pilot Super Sport)
MP4-12C - 1:20.6 (120.9mph) (Pirelli P Zero)
MP4-12C - 1:19.6 (Not stated) (Pirelli P Zero Corsa)
Earlier runs
Gumpert Apollo S - 1:19.4 (120.4mph) (???)
GT2 RS - 1:19.9 (122.3mph) (Michelin Pilot Sport Cup+)
458 - 1:20.3 (117.0mph) (Michelin Pilot Sport 3)
Looks like the Ferrari still has it and the McLaren may well be misisng that LSD. Nevertheless both capable of staggering sub-80s lap, which is doubly impressive when you consider the 458's less grippy tyres.
That's a bit of a disappointment, unless you own a F458 of course.

It's a little disappointing but it's just one track and the MP4 won the acceleration tests:
Quarter Mile
458 - 11.2s@128.2mph (MPS3)
MP4-12C - 10.8s@131mph (P Zero)
10.8 is...WOW
