    I liked the inflatable car

    Had to laugh at the bit about the spoiler coming up at 75mph. Police wont need speed guns, only a photo of your spoiler. Which twit thought that one up.
    Not all countries have a 70mph national limit, though.
    I need to start saving for that inflatable car

    Seems a bit tachy tacky that Porsche would make a car with a spoiler that comes in at a particular speed... you need downforce all the time in some situations dammit!

    The Bugatti comes on at a specific speed and also comes on when you engage sport/handling mode at all speeds. Should be available for the Porsche too. Or all cars for that matter , that'd be nice.

    Inside a Porsche you will find a button which can manually raise the spoiler. The fact that the spoiler is up is no proof at all that one is travelling in excess of 75mph.
