It's rare in the oft tedious motoring milieu that something comes along that is so outrageous,so technologically advanced, so powerful, so downright automotively beautiful that you stop short while walking towards it and say, sotto voce, a rude word that rhymes with duck.
One such previous was the Audi R8, launched from Cape Town harbour in October 2007 to a positive riot of holidaymakers and, on the road to Franschhoek, crazy drivers on the N1 doing their best not to crash while taking photographs at 120km/h.
