I’m all for it
We all want a 1000kg car with 500+ hp V8 revving to 10000 rpm that has a 5 star crash rating, can carry 4 in comfort plus a dog, audiophile hifi, full leather, 10 piston brakes, 20 inch wheels, 300mm wide tires, oil cooler that can sustain a day of top rpm track driving, a quite cabin, parking cameras etc, etc. And cost no more than $70k...
This time we get a lot more power, upgraded tech., more space and likely more grip but we pay the price in weight. No free lunch. The F8X had a price as well as a tiny hp gain and a smaller less soulful engine.
