Still with protective covering on bonnet (white), spotted this afternoon in Chobham (in the wet [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]) - First impression as it was approaching is "what the feck is that" - its one wide mother from the front, but looks very nice..

Nice xmas pressie for the 15 merc mechanics then - "now boys only one lap of Chobham each and remember if the owner sees you tell him it was someone else's car we were testing"

Thats how it works - isn't it

Did anyone read the test of this in Evo? Looks stunning and it is just so powerful and assured. Muppets gave it only 4 stars though because the dinosaurs couldn't get used to the revolutionary brake setup.

If only I had a spare £330K

My mate saw one in Guildford town centre earlier this week too. Silver one. He had to check the pictures in the mags to make sure it was the real thing.

I was told recently that at full chat in top gear WOT it comsumes it's 96 litre fuel tank in about 18 minutes (That's about 65 miles!).

Don't like it myself, prefer the Koenigsegg!
