I don't think it was design...

No faster? I guess you are referring to the 0-60 time?
That will be blown away by the AWD version and except the same story with other performance metrics from 1/4 mile to ring time and everything in between.
It is faster, likely much faster. |
I guess that will make sense. I was surprised they didn't lead with AWD on release to bring that point home for first year buyers. I wonder if there will be buyers regretting year 1 purchases when the fully realised models are launched a year later as with the F80?
