It is very powerful but very heavy. It is OK for posing and for people who are only capable of what one of my BMW ex-colleagues used to refer to as "linear agility". It requires no talent to accelerate hard, just enough power in the leg to overcome the spring in the throttle pedal... Compared to real supercars it is poor performing due to its high weight. The hideous engine alone weighs more than a proper sports car. OTOH the sort of person who can afford one may not be able to drive very well and as a pose-mobile it is probably OK.
