Still, under the best of circumstances, the Agera R's gearshifts are rough, and at lightthrottle and low speeds the car can buck and lurch like a poisoned pony.
On lightthrottle openings, the 330bhp 3.4 sounds, frankly, like it has a blowing exhaust, the familiar flat-six hoarseness akin to a dog coughing up an angora sweater, but on brief revels to three-quarters of the rev-range, the wail starts to build.
