Default TVB standard on '16 V6S

With just 13 days left to last order change date, my order is finally entered into the system correctly.
To my great and wonderful surprise, torque vector braking is standard on the V6S. I thought previously it was only available on the V8.
This now means more effective trailbraking faster and deeper into the turns. What a thrill!!

That's great news. I guess I am going to have that on "Nessie" as well. Fun times indeed!

Now that the configurator has been updated today, it appears the torque vector braking is indeed not standard, but rather comes as a part of the "Super High Performance Brake Pack" at $1450 on the V6S. A "must have" since it includes the limited slip diff.

All the options on the V6, is in reality why I went with the R. By the time I had an S loaded up how I wanted, it was only a few thousand more to the R and I got all the extra hp and tq for a few more dollars.

Change it while you can! Go for the R!

two words: manual transmission

I'll still come in under $84k

OK, I understand, and you've been forgiven!
