driven both the GTV and the Spider, great cars, very involving steering. And.....OMG....what an engine note. You should buy is for the engine note alone, or just buy the engine and have it in your room to wake you up every morning. One of the best V6s ever made. The new GTA engines are based on this one. Get a 3+ year old car, and you'll save loads of money. Titanic Depreciation in the first three years.I can definately recommend it.

The concept was a Geneva last year. Don't think it had been seen more than once before that, although I could be mistaken.
The consensus seems to be that it looks great. I'm off to take a closer look tonight and am prepared to change my mind but I'm stil not convinced. I think roadsters are great but when you design an 'ultimate' GT car then an open top is not the way forward - even though it can heighten the driving experience (at lower speeds).
The Carrera GT is a fantastic car but it's soundly beaten into second place behind this baby...

I think it was on DRIVEN about 2 years ago there was an arab who is a racing driver that had a Porsche 911 GT1 and a Mercedes CLK GTR, he told mercedes that his porsche was faster so mercedes had AMG tune his CLK to over 700BHP LOL!
