Never mind the specifications of the Nissan 370Z Roadster, let's head straight for the most appealing aspects of this two-seater convertible.
Rarely have I been so glad to get behind the wheel and start on a road test. It's a car with heated seats and, if there's this much attention to detail, it follows that the rest of the vehicle must be pretty good.
Settling in, there are echoes of an aircraft flight deck. An oil temperature gauge, voltmeter and clock pod surmount the instrument panel. Punch the start button and the indicators on the speedometer and tachometer perform an initial sweep as if to say: 'Are you ready?'
On the Tolo Highway, being the closest Hong Kong gets to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, I point the Roadster due north.
It's not long before we're through Lion Rock Tunnel - and the headlights come on automatically - hurtling past Sha Tin, though of course never at more than 100km/h.
That's a pity. The merest dab at the accelerator produces a gratifying response from the 3.7-litre engine, which makes it patently clear it's dying to give its all and take off over the horizon.
The manual states rather blandly that the engine 'generates a maximum power of 333 PS at 7,000rpm and maximum torque of 37kg-m at 5,200rpm'.
