Press Reviews
The CC & AR chassis makes the Fusion really come into its own when cornering but Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe decided to pitch a 550 HP XCS Fusion against a Jaguar XKR-S on a drag race. See the stunning result here: - details above . WOW
And here are some quotes from the motoring press
"Imagine a TVR with the agility of a Lotus and you'll be some way to understanding how it behaves"
“The XCS has the ability to change direction, and corner, like a Lotus Seven and that takes a time to compute"
"To view this as 'just' another Cobra replica is to miss the point. This is an utterly serious performance car in its own right”
"Plenty of feedback lets you know that you can deploy some of that immense power well before the exit of the corner, and as you do so for the first time you'll immediately feel that you could have got on it sooner and harder."
"Perhaps the biggest compliment I can pay to the XCS is that you don’t feel the CC&AR doing its stuff. You’re never consciously aware of the adjustments it’s making to keep the tyres in contact with the ground."
"For a car that rides this well to corner so flatly defies all expectation. You soon find yourself throwing it around with the same abandon you do a Seven style roadster."
"For XCS to have produced a car as exploitable as the 427 without the electronics is the real achievement. It’s a sensation."
"Any car with a big engine can go fast in a straight line......... This Cobra goes round bends for fun, trust me. The whole ensemble feeling planted and sure-footed at all times."
"I have to admit that when I got back to base I had goose bumps on my arms, the impression the XCS made on me was that strong".
