First notes on the Turbo, which I spent most of the time in. Truth be told, this car does not feel quick off the line. The first two gears slush around before locking in the third – or around 60 km/h – before it starts to build serious momentum. You can imagine this as a Saturn V taking off; there’s a lot of noise and the lift-off is labourious. Then, once it starts to break off from gravity, it shoots to the beyond like a rocket that it is.

The turbocharged car feels a little like that as well. Once past 60 km/h on the speedo, you’ll quickly find yourself in a region that pooh-poohs the national speed tolerance. And there’s enough fire left in the Pug to put behind the car in front of you, proof that the 408 works better in the mid-ranges"

It makes perfect sense to me. Both paragraph said the same thing meaning, below 60kph, turbo not working so not much power. Only after 60kph when turbo kicks in will you find extra power from turbo.
