Would love to have a better understand of fuel octane. I’ve had a Ducati Panigale for over a year now and nobody has ever given me a clear answer on what fuel to put in it. I tend to go for 97 but should it be 95? Just reading your post prompted the thought - sorry to derail! Lovely car mind.

Compression ratio's a relatively high 12.5:1 in those, according to a quick Google. I'd use 97+ octane fuel in it. The rating tells you how resistant the fuel is to detonation; the higher the number, the more the fuel can endure (in terms of compression ratios, temperatures, conditions, etc.) before it detonates – which you don't want in a petrol engine, as it causes knock that can lead to significant damage. Plus it's a high-performance engine, so it makes sense to give it the best and get the most out of it.
Is it not mentioned on the tank/filler cap/frame or in the manual?
The Agera RS did 275+ MPH on a public road. I have no doubt this will hit 300MPH just as swiftly. These guys don't mess about when it comes to raw power and speed.
Only the non Polestar cars.

I’d be more impressed with rallycross spec’s sub 2sec 0-60. This is too much like the veyron, a one trick pony designed to part the excessively rich of some pocket change.
112 limit would be fine, as long as you can get there in 3 sec!

It could well end up being the case for every new car in 2020 (or 2022 – can't recall). Heading that way, anyway.
