Really? I thought the manual version was just under 6 secs, auto was slower I think

The autos had a different map to produce torque lower down the rev range to better suit the gearbox. slush boxes don't like high revs.
The Ferrari 400i auto 0-60 was 7.5 secs despite V12 power and I am sure that feels fast enough most of the time.

I have just found a similar car that sold in Japan auctions end of '23 for about 26k. Landed here with taxes paid that's about 37k. That's probably a good indication of what it's worth. A manual probably double that.

Have you seen the video of the Arctic Challenge Tour 2024?
A Ferrari 400i and a new Porsche 911 Dakar challenging each other to the Artic? Looks quite fun. But a tad chilly.
(Not sure either of them made 0-60 in 7.5 secs in that snow!)
