I did the test drive and it didn't go as well as i had hoped:

I threw everything at it but it wouldn't play ball. I think my p&g technique is ok but it only made things worse. Coasting didnt save enough to offset what was lost when i accelerated again. EOC didn't work either as the computer didn't register anything then. Great.
I do think that it did well at 90kph so when i get a chance again i'll do more of that.
Here's more pics:



The belly pan is pretty good. Has vents pointing at the gearbox i assume. There were panels either side of the tank and they stopped short of the rear axle. Otherwise the underside was normal enough.
I thought the engine bay was fairly sparse too. I was expecting a jungle of wires and sensors but it was more like an old vintage car in there!
I'll get another two chances to drive it and can have it overnight some weekend too so i'll hopefully do better then.
