hi,

i wonder if there are any owners with 345bhp variant in their QP? If so would you be able to share your feedback on the car/performance/usability etc.?

ps. i was always under the impression that there is one V6 (410/424) or V8 (500+ bhp).

I have a 2021 QP6 [345]. I was actually looking for the higher powered 'S' version of the V6 but was limited by what was available and ultimately decided to prioritise age/mileage, condition and spec.
I don't feel that performance is lacking - the car is plenty quick enough 99% of the time and never feels lacking in that department. In any case it's difficult to really use high performance cars nowadays in the UK given high traffic volumes, speed cameras, etc. It can actually be frustrating to have a high performance car and not be able to fully stretch its legs - or maybe I'm just getting old! It does still sound epic, though.
As regards usability, it is a (very) long vehicle but after a couple of weeks I'd got used to it. You do need to choose your parking spots carefully, however. The upside is that there's plenty of interior space and a decent boot.
It's also, to my eyes at least, an elegant looking thing and much nicer than some of the monstrosities being produced these days. It certainly garners a fair bit of favourable attention.
In normal mode the suspension is quite soft, but the firmer setting works quite well on country roads without being too stiff-legged.
It may not have the all round competence of the German competition but as a second hand purchase I think it can be relatively good value.
Hope this helps!

thanks much, appreciate it.

I wonder if they (non S models) hold their value as well as S or GTS models?
