Here in Germany we have never had optimax, its always been called V Power.
Glad they have brought out a 99 but dread to think what price they will charge (its what I need to run on for track use)
I was at the launch in London (closed street show in the shadow of the London Eye) yesterday - we (VSCC) arranged the ‘Ferrari through the ages’ display - 1952 500 GP car, Testa Rossa (the original 1950s 2 seat sports-racer), 250 SWB, 250 GTO, Tasman series rear-engined single seater (very rare these 1960s single seaters!) and two racing Daytona variants (estimated total value �25m).
Ended up discussing the running order with Tiff Needell (who compered the event) at about 11,00 p.m. on Tuesday evening!
As I understand it VPower is simply Optimax by a different name (there was a similar recent launch in Norway) (I missed the briefing as I was briefing the drivers…).
I hate working with old cars…
BTW - pedant’s corner - superseded is spelt with an ‘s’ in the middle

V-Power in Holland is 99 RON and so its unification of the premium stuff across Europe I guess as Optimax was 98
Just think what 1 RON can do for you

Na, as I understand it Optimax is 95 with additives making it up to an equivalent of 97.
Think brand aliment across Europe is probably right though. Apparently there’s a lot of people from there coming here at the moment (Oo, topical Ian ).

but what you to remember is if your engine is not setup
for a 99 octane fuel then you are just wasting your money
as it will NOT give you any extra power
Which is what I loved about Optimax, seems to really suit the K.

Filled up tonight 99.9p a litre, cheaper than optimax!!!
