Sort of makes sense to me as to why Porsche are pretty consistent with their top speed. I imagine the Toyota dumps everything out of the corner and then has to wait to get more in. The Porsche can store more and so can dump a certain amount out of the corner but then if need be, use a little bit at the end of the acceleration to get the car up to the top speed. This could provide a big advantage on the Mulsanne if they are hindered by traffic whilst battling with Toyota/Audi.
Does anyone know whether the Audi and Toyota have a manual release option? The Porsche apparently does (according to Timo).
