Thought I would put down my impressions on a test drive I had about a month ago with Nik Baker at Malvern.
As a background I think its important that I first put a little perspective to my impressions.
I have owned nearly every super car that was worth owning during the last 20 years, I love to drive everything I have owned hard and have always taken to the track.
I even took my Aeromax on the track!
So the Plus Six. The power plant reminds my very much of the mid range punch of a modern 911 Turbo, it really is very, very quick. Whilst driving with Nik my first thought was that I hope to God that the brakes and chassis can cope with high speed cornering and braking, and YES it can. There is no dive to speak of and the turn in is just right. It feels very planted. It makes Plus 8 platform feel dated, in fact I think it would be unfair to compare the two because they are so different under the skin.
Slower speeds its simply super easy and comfortable. I know people say it is pricey. Compared to what? Its hand built. Porsche Boxster GTS? No thanks. Porsche Spyder? Had three in the end, boring by comparison. The Plus 6 now delivers what I think few cars can, sophistication, presence, serious pace and driveability.
