This is precisely what I was wondering.

His car likely has the Direct Active Steering (steer-by-wire), which numbs it.

I need to dig up the review that talked about driving the Q50 with the Z wheels that wasn't equipped with DAS.

I can imagine an S model with the wheels with hydraulic steering would feel far more like the G37S with respect to driving dynamic.
