The S variant has variable turbo vanes and is constantly 'on' to minimise turbo lag. I simply cannot detect any whiff of lag at all at speeds over 1900rpm. I'm with you WingCo on the black wheels - not my absolute taste either.

I have to say that I'm really impressed with the performance of the 718. It dispatched overtaking manoeuvres with amazing ease! Felt very quick and gained speed with scary ease! :)

Yes, you can be at three digits very easily indeed!

As I have found! :twisted:

On the subject of wheels and colour, think I'd be tempted to go for a bright colour with silvery wheels if I was in the market for a 718...

Hmmm. I have seen both Lava and Miami in the flesh and was really disappointed by them. In the dull grey skies of N Ireland, they don't quite zing like all the promotional videos made them look.

Yeah, I think they are very careful with how cars are lit, and in what conditions, in promotional videos and photos.

But, see my pics posted today of a Miami GT3 photographed in deepest Wiltshire!

Is it GT Silver or Rhodium? I think Silver wheels look much nicer 8-)
