That's the first review of the UK's FQ series I've seen, thanks.

Wow, 0-62 mph in 4.1 sec for the FQ360, amazing. I wish I could get one of those, but sadly it's not remotely possible.

The front lip looks good as well, is it just the factory aero kit lip painted black?

No, look closer. It's the factory lip done in carbon.

I don't understand how the X fq360 has 354bhp and the IX fq360 has 366 bhp, but both of these cars reach 0-62 in 4.1 secs with the X being heavier and has less hp.

Oh they suck. Why is it the US version is slower? Their 290 hp version does 0-60 in 4.7 and the one here does it in what? 5.2?

C&D got a 0-60 time of 4.6sec. on the US version. Most of the +5 sec. 0-60 times released were obtained on pre-production units before they received their final ECU tuning. The C&D test car had the final tune (and the best numbers).

I am confused. This C&D review says its 5 seconds 0-60

Where is the test that says 4.6 seconds? What were their 1/4 mile times?
