Sorry to disappoint but I clicked further and found the P1\P2 search and:Based on the stated power to tare mass ratio of 130kW per tonne the S85 squeaks in just shy at 128.6

So only an S60 if you want the kids to drive it.
Which state? I was unable to find any such restriction for QLD.
yeah but seriously whose gonna let their 15 yr old kid take their $130k P85 out for a joy ride anyway??
So this is not restricting 15 year olds, this is restricting up to 19 year olds if they start driving as soon as they can and pass all tests.
Yeah - in Victoria you can't get off your P plates until 22 now! Not sure whether the Model S is on the list down here, but that's a pretty big pain for anyone with kids up to that age.
This is seriously retarded. Here in the UK, you can drive at 17, in South Dakota, USA - 14! UNSUPERVISEDYeah - in Victoria you can't get off your P plates until 22 now!

Restricting is really stupid. Here in the UK, people at 17 are restricted to 3L engines, nothing to do with power or price.
Maybe go abroad and get an International Driving Permit to use in Aussie?
Not sure on what basis you consider that 'restricting is really stupid' - restrictions were brought in as P platers had a higher accident rate, and a higher injury/death rate to themselves as well as other road users.
Teenagers/young adults take time to develop decision making capability - this tends to manifest itself in poor judgement and inability to assess risk.
I taught my niece to drive in a sports car in a safe environment on the road and on the racetrack. She can drive, understands traffic and is very aware of her environment and other drivers....however, it is only after an accident (in a standard sedan) that she learnt her limitations and the need to temper her confidence. In a few more years she will be a good driver - at the moment she is a highly skilled one.
I for one like high performance cars but see the sense in not giving a lethal instrument to those who have yet to learn the limits of their skills and judgement.
