Never mind the W427. How about the Delorean that just warped us back to 2 months ago when we first new about this thing.

Who was it that said "it looks like a bogan with his front teeth punched out (by an F6)"?

What does this car offer apart from the extra power, red leather, retuned MRC and bigger brakes? Are these items worth an extra $80,000 over the R8? It's only worth what people are prepared to pay I suppose.... If I had the cash it would be the AMG C63... any day.

as i said in other thread, if it had a GT-HO badge on it you'd all be tripping over yourselves singing its praises.

While it's a nice car, it is not worth the money.

But that is me. Somebody else will throw their spare change at it and be happy.

So to them, best wishes.

But 375kw...hell.

LOL, "improved noise quality" listed in powertain....improved over what? its a totally new motor

i also liked the supercar suspension mods....lowered and stiffer springs, what a joke, the standard FG has a better suspension layout
