I will put up my review after I find it. The P85D is a monster off the traffic lights though. NOTHING will touch it.
Except the recently-announced P90D with "Ludicrous Mode" option.
0-60mph in 2.8 seconds (at 1.1g peak acceleration.)

Supposedly current P85D owners can have Ludicrous Mode installed for $8K including big battery.
P90D buyers will need to fork over an extra $10K for Ludicrous Mode option.
I heard about this yesterday. From what I read it's 5k for the electronics change plus labor, and then you need the batteries as well. I presume this will go well over 8k. It wouldn't make sense to have the P85D upgrade option cost less than the P90D out of the box. That would be like being able to retrofit a 550 with the M5 components for cheaper than the cost difference between the two models.

Regardless, that thing must be insane.... I mean Ludicrous...
