What a beast of car. But much more impressive are the driver skills! Uses nearly 100% the perfect line, very often late apex. And to hit that very sweet spot right at maximum speed on this track is really amazing!! I wish, I had these skills and reactions. Impressive! 😎👍

@@markorchard2272 very interesting. So give us your honest opinion. At the time of it's production, which car was held in higher esteem by the guys at the factory? I owned an S2 Exige S for a short period of time and currrently own a heavily modified 2.2 speedster. I have no idea what a stock Speedster was like but mine is way less refined than the Exige. I guess the stock wheels and were pretty silly on the Speedster.

Saw it in tf, so fast you don't see it coming in your mirrors, and after it's so small and so close to you that you see over it, especially when it's greyish outside ! Should get the car in some colorful wrap :) Still, amazing car and I had a good emotion laugh when I got passed !!

That car is AWESOME!

I'm sure you short-shifted a few times to give him space, in general I think he gets on the throttle out of corners a little harder than you were. I don't blame you for driving carefully, but I think on good tires you can get on the throttle earlier out of corners. Super cool!!

I have a Speedster turbo for 15 years, slightly ameliorated and it is amazing, especially in the wet. about equivalent to a GT4.

After watching this I just Jumped on Forza MotorSport 4 with my sim rig(Fanatec Porsche GT2 Wheel,pedals, 7sp shifter) to build an Opel Speedster to S-Class 659 then raced it on the Nurburgring in “Rivals” mode with traffic… It is now my favorite car and it’s not even maxed out yet😳! 170ish mph top speed with insane acceleration and handling. I now see how it was walking off on the GT2 MR😵‍💫😳!!
