Wayne Bruce? Is his alter-ego "Manbat"?

Yea, he is Robin's side kick...

AutoBild Sportscars Supertest - McLaren 540C

It was bit of a letdown... While the car produced 550 hp on their dyno run, the engine's low-end torque (and its torque-curve) was far from optimal.

Acceleration was TOP. 0-100 km/h in 3,1, 0-200 km/h in 9,5 and 0-300 in 31,5. Claimed figures for the first two are 3,5 and 10,5 sec.

Braking. Oh the braking... Despite its Corsa semi-slick tyres the car stopped from 300 km/h 58 metres after the 720S! That's 13 car-lengths more. The reason: at emergency braking the car's rear becomes very light and unstable (no active rear-wing á la 720S). The average braking G between 300 and 0 km/h was only 1.20 (720S: 1,48).

Sachsenring laptime. 1:34,08 min. 0,01 sec slower than a 650S on regular P Zero street-tyres. Like at the braking tests, the rear axle lacks downforce in high-speed corners.
