Note the low number of Kms on the car. Some poor bugger will likely buy this as a demonstrator, not knowing it is a track thrashed journo fodder.
Cars do not need to be run in today as we used to have to do or believed we had to. I have never run a modern car in, the latest was a Golf PP we took delivery of about six months ago and I was warned it would need to have the oil topped up from the bottle supplied for that purpose that was with the tool kit. I drove it out of the dealers let it warm up and redlined it straight away and it has never used a drop of oil but I am only relating what I do. My Diesel Superb was treated the same with the same results, no oil use at all from new and now at 130,000 km. Some years ago I had a job that involved ferrying press vehicles for a manufacturer interstate to put some K's on them and see what fell off on the trip and those vehicles were certainly never run in as I didn't own them.
