Cool

Went past it on the way to Woking the other night. Someone has too much money! Its a bl00dy starship, looking like a SLK seriously beefed up with steroids! . I want one, but couldn't afford the aerial, let alone the car

Yes, I saw one of these beasts today along the M4 from Maidenhead towards Reading. Was just crusing at a steady 90

Not exectly had rave reviews in all the mags have they?

Massively overpriced at over £300K. You could have a 575 AND a Vanquish for that money.

Saw my first one about 4 weeks ago in Sandbanks, a wealthy owner around that area I spose, or are they not available to the public yet ?

Sounded awesome whatever.

About the same price as a Zonda.

I'd rather have a Zonda assuming I had over £300k to spend on ONE car.

I saw one on Friday between Chobham and Woking. Still had all the gaffa tape on which I thought was a bit strange considering the final shape has been released.

Looked pretty mean from what I could see of it.
