Judging by the video content its definitely a road car then. (apart from a few seconds on a smooth gravel track). Should be just right for the Chelsea School run. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Lowers by 15mm to reduce drag, that's just over 1/2" how much drag, about the same as a dirty to moderately clean car, why is it marketing use metric as an attempt to emphasise the square root of f all. |

Back in the 90s I used to drive a Citroen XM (big exec cruiser) with hydraulic suspension. You could raise or lower the suspension by a couple of inches. One night coming down the M5 and feeling bored I tried it at various heights and the fuel consumption remained absolutely constant. It was a lot more aerodynamic than a RRS of course but no one buys one of these for fuel economy. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

They use metric rather than imperial because it is easier, more consistent and universally understood all of which is important in a global market place where outdated imperial would be a turn off. On a lighthearted note about imperial v metric; in yonks past at university a small group were discussing the relative merits and one lad proclaimed that a 6 inch "manhood" sounded great, but another lad said that 15 centimetres sounded far more impressive, then one of the girls said she liked to use the equestrian method as she preferred to measure it in hands!

I also thought the car lowers at motorway speeds to improve stability, every little helps I guess

"Jimboland, the citizens of the USA will never understand metric Laughing Far too confusing big numbers for small lengths or distances. the US is thousands of miles long and wide don't confuse them by telling the it is nearly twice as long and wide in metric, they won't leave town unless by air Whistle"
