I’m just curious, as to why with such a power increase, in that light weight of a car, is it so slow?

Depends on what you mean by "slow". As for high speed acceleration and top speed only absolute engine power and aero matter (not weight), you can not expect this car to be any kind of autobahn stormer.

@fastestlaps please delete the 0-100 and 0-60mph, they arent the manufacturer claims
