Makes the 0-60 time look better, but I really hope M-division have got something magic lurking up their sleeves or this doesn't seem like a good deal to me.
Looking at the ring footage I think they do. I suspect a big leap in chassis and aero technology helping the G8X crush the F8X. And that extra power doesn’t hurt down long straights and the extra AWD traction doesn’t hurt when getting on the power early. So not really magic just physics should make the new car leaps and bounds faster and that will ultimately be the claim to fame for this generation, track times, stability and effortless speed on and off the track.

Few will fully use it many will be seduced by it.
