With a 4.9-liter V8 behind the rear axle, the car isn’t a supercar by any means. However, with 400hp it hits 60 in a little over four seconds and will easily bump into the 155mph limiter.

Here's probably the best review I've seen of the Z8. This guy shows everything about the car.

It's not like people habitually pay over the odds for Apple stuff.
