Default f coupe stiffness (torsional rigidity)

Hello, I've read that the f coupe is 80% stiffer than the convertible. This is pretty impressive considering the convertible was the best car I've ever driven.

Since this is a brand new platform I was wondering if the f coupe may have better torsional rigidity than other more expensive cars like Aston Martin.

Torsional rigidity is measured in nm/rad and is often described as torque per unit deflection. Does anyone here know how the torsional rigidity of the f coupe compares to other more expensive sportscars?

I wonder how these percentages are measured. Every new models seems to be 40-80% more rigid than the last. I suppose the F-Type Coupe is probably 1000% more rigid than an XK convertible!
