I didn't mention it yesterday as I hadn't done my homework on the T8, apparently it's a hybrid with 448 bhp I can only imagine it must weigh a few tonnes as my Plus 8 is 190bhp on a good day and about a tonne.
Made me smile as my car is 23 years old and the T8 was a recent plate.
Mine is pretty close to 6.0S 0-60 as far as I can measure so still very relevant in todays world for my needs.

IIRC when the Plus 8 came out it was the fastest accelerating British road going sports car you could buy in the UK
