That certainly works, but it's an extra £6K …

Here's an illustration of the problem:- 1. GTS with "Basalt" club leather and Neodyme accents:- 2. Black Edition with same Club Leather; only dark accents:- 3. Black Edition with Smooth Leather; "Dark Silver" accents available as a zero-cost option:- Not sure if one can retrofit the...

Sadly not. With the "Black Edition", choosing the Club Leather means that you're stuck with the dark trim elements; you can't even choose the "Dark Silver" alternative - it's very restrictive. Switching to the "Smooth Leather" then the "Dark Silver" becomes an option (bizarrely); but the...

Thanks! That makes life much easier :) . The only problem now is that the Black Edition doesn't give me the Neodyme accents to go with the Club Leather :crying:. Yes, I know they're a bit "bling" but I need something to brighten up a dark interior. First-world problems!

That's helpful - thanks! Especially since I have a chance to finalise (yet another) build tomorrow. The ongoing question: GTS with PAR or 4S with PAR…

…and with regards to ride quality, unfortunately these were on different test routes, so I can't really answer my own question about whether the GTS Active Ride tuning makes the ride firmer or harsher. The non-Active Ride car rode pretty well. Yes, I could feel the road - in fact, I could feel...

Some quick feedback - more about the steering than the Active Ride (sorry). I have now been able to drive two J1.2 GTS cars with and without Active Ride. Both cars had:- • Rear-axle Steering • Torque Vectoring They differed in the tyres:- Active Ride GTS:- • Dynamic Package with Pirelli P...

If they announce this (perhaps today?) does that mean we should buy the car now, whilst it’s still available - or sit on our hands waiting for some future product?

I hope this isn’t a ominous signal in advance of the Investors’ Meeting tomorrow…

As I said, this was an option on the GTS. The car I drove had the left paddle set up to switch between the different regen modes: off, auto, weak, strong… The right paddle activates more power “attack mode”. I was told they could be reprogrammed. Unfortunately I can’t get into the configurator...

Nothing new, I’m afraid. This has been an option on the GTS for a while. Paddles can be configured to control regen. I test drove a GTS last month with this. RaceTex only.

It's actually remarkably similar - with added "bling" - to the new CLA series (electric 250+, etc.). The dashboard is virtually identical, apart from the middle screen being tilted towards the driver. At least the seats look a bit more plush.

Great video - but absolutely atrocious spelling!!!

Sounds perfect for my local roads then :like:

I think that's going to be MY27, and I'm happy to give that a miss. It's the potential new battery tech that's of more interest to me (plus changes to the PCM, perhaps similar to the new Cayenne?).
