So judging from the pics... An exclusive club like this consists of a fleet of Rolls, Bentleys, Maybachs, Bugattis and Lexus (oh and Chevys...). So much for the "1st-tier" mainstream luxury nameplates i.e. MB and BMW.

Unless what I am looking at is a n engine cover. A really nicely designed engine cover.
Oh and that is why that car wieghs over 4,000lbs.

Imagine all the morons asking you to floor it or rev it at stop lights. Factor that with not feeling comfortable about parking it anywhere and I would never want to own one.
I wouldn't mind driving the hell out of one for a few hours though.

Love this car. Too lazy to get up but there is a write up in one of the mags I get in the mail. I believe they tried to but couldn't get the car past 248 mph. I believe they also said the car has a limiter of 257. I'll check the article later for acuracy. The most amazing thing is a production car with this much power and made to be a daily driver. Unreal. You can't say that about a Murcielago or an Enzo. Simply amazing.
And it's claimed to be the fastest production car, ever. It's sort of chunky in some places but so am I and I've never had a problem getting a date.

1. The quality of that car seems amazing.
2. The car looks like a Star Ship personal battle crusier.
3. Those wheels are horrible on that car.
4. Over 1 mill? The Enzo might not be no where near luxurious, but is this car's luxury worth 600,000????
5. The headlights look so ordinary.

Just read a few more reviews of this car online and in a few magazines today. Seems that most really love it and the fact that for such a big car it has great handling. Mostly due to the immense downforce the car has at high speeds. There are also a few differnet modes, top speed, handling and regular. Top speed adds enough downforce to get to the top speed of 253 very safely and quickly while the handling mode adds some 500+lbs of downforce. Thats insane. It also uses airbrakes just like the McLaren SLR but its more effective.
I think automobile mag said that its not a stragiht up race car like the Enzo or McLaren F1 because it has an insane amount of power, but its more of a ultimate bvld. cruiser. Sort of like a Bentley CGT with an insane amount of power.
Sounds cool to me. I still love it.
