everyone lamenting the price, think on this: the only people who are going to buy these are the ones who would gamble two million on a horserace and not give a stuff if they lost...sheiks, tycoons, bankers, etc. two million is chump change to the sultan of Brunei!

Spot on!!!!

This vehicle is beautiful, I have known about it for a while now, and if I earnt or won enough money, this is the first vehicle I would buy. The interior alone is a masterpiece, and the outside is the most beautiful design I have ever seen. There wasnt one thing that they focused on when they decided to build this vehicle, it was about producing the entire package with no expense spared!!

Just when I was coming to terms with the fact that there weren't enough exhaust pipes and starting to think it was something I could eventually live with, I saw the interior.

Seriously, what were they thinking? Nowhere near enough brown for my liking. NEEDS MORE BROWN!!

Put it to you this way if we kinda see eye-to-eye at all, would you rather be seen and enjoy cruising around in a real Phase IV or Phase III or the Buggati?
How where we the "first" ??, are you suggesting there was no fastest four door sedan before us....

The GTHO was the fastest "at the time", other vehicals held the record prior to that, we where not the "first" at all....

Anyhow, if i could afford the Buggati i would already have a shed full of Genuine GT,s...

At least if you where out in the Buggati you would not be fielding questions about whether it is Genuine or not.....Lol

Give you credit for pointing this out, however AUs aren't Ugly, It was Gold
and with Time it has appreciated. Those who knew its Value have own one first and second hand.

For 2 Million I'll Park an AU next to it and you be Judge.

Unsure if you're joking there, but assuming you weren't, there have been many cars since that have taken that title. I think the GTS-R while not the fastest four door car at the time was the only local sedan faster than the Phase3.

In terms of internationals, i mean where do you begin, AMG, Brabus, BMW, Audi, etc.

Yes I was joking. There is a multitude of 4 door sedans that are shed loads faster than a phase 3.
