The width is 140mm less than my Alpine inc.mirrors which is perfectly suited to back roads of the UK and is considered a petit (use of the French language  )modern sports car. The Super 3 is a small "modern" vehicle in comparison with virtually everything except Plus Four/Six.

There you go again confusing the issue with facts  I don't consider my Plus 8 with 16" X 7" rims wide on our local (Dartmoor) lanes, compared to anything I meet it's narrow and mine is fitted with a reverse gear unlike the SUV's I encounter  ....

Does anybody know when the Super 3 is going to be at dealers? I heard it was originally planned for May but has already slipped to June. On a separate note MMC seem to be very coy about how the car sounds. Apart from a moment on today's Act II video I've not heard the engine and/or exhaust at all.

MMC are planning for May but anticipate some supply chain issues (particuallry for anything with a chip in it) so June is probably more likely.
I don't think they are being deliberately coy about the sound as they say they only have 3 engine run modules which are being swapped between the prototypes. These are currently prioritised for the validation cars to build test mileage. The earlier engineering prototypes used for the launch are without these modules so at the moment can't be run.
All those I spoke to at the launch who had heard the car said it had a good rasp and sounded similar to a straight six which can't be bad. I'm sure we will hear it for real as soon as they can.

Exhaust sound has been a very important feat for this car. One of the reasons for avoiding a turbo.
