That presumes the pack wasn't originally designed for the XPower. I think it was and cooling sized accordingly as it came out within a year of the original launch.
4.6! ? Get rid! ?
Strange how turning off traction control made a huge difference at low battery percentage??
It may have made a big difference at high percentage too, I've not timed any other launches
The power curve / how its delivered would be more interesting to see. I'd personally like to have more from the rear as I don't think they've quite nailed the bias between them. Remember that they are not linked, so the front is only really assisting.
How did you time it? That in its own is still 1 second quicker than mine.
I haven't tested between on or off. I've always had it on. I've tried playing around a little with it off, but I haven't really felt the need. Granted I'm mid 40's now and luckily got to my stupid stuff in fun rear wheel drive and hot hatches from the late 70's and through the 90's when there weren't all the cameras around. I miss cars which allowed you to make your own decisions. I find this like driving the old Daytona arcade game when the steering wheel used to try and add weight.
Not sure if you get the 7 year warranty there like we do. I don't expect the car to last past that anyway and see all these more modern cars as a through away item at 10 years. I'd say the motors and controls will be going into custom builds once the car falls apart. Hopefully batteries will be a lot cheaper by then too.
I generally don't launch this and normally just drive sensible. But........ I've paid a premium for the sports model; it should perform as it was intended regardless of how I chose drive it. I believe I have an issue with the car, so trying to get it sorted. MG dealer say there is no issue, but if it can't get any where near the performance it should, then I would've gone for a different, cheaper model. I only bought this one as it was supposed to be quick.

How do you film it? Its a bit hard on your own and trying to use the phone. I also don't want to get caught by police. Does track mode have any timing? From what I have seen there really isn't much use to it.
Absolutely, I'd like to think that we would all be aware that the traction is essential at laying it down on the road, however, MG have given the performance of 3.8 seconds, it should be able to achieve this is in standard form on a good road surface. Obviously, you're not going to hit it on a wet / gravel surface. This is more about getting benchmarks across a wider range of vehicles and situations. I'd imagine Bricktop will be getting some nice results on a sticky track. To be honest, I think I have an issue with mine, so trying to get a benchmark so I can go back to the dealer with proof.
