Re: Abomination........or........masterpiece??

Visually the front end treatment spoils the look, more generally what is the purpose of such a vehicle? Its off road ability will be severely compromised and like all g-wagens its cornering ability will be poor, it will be quick in a straight line...so what.

Re: Abomination........or........masterpiece??

 Mostly this season I would have;

The rear bumper
The Engine
(The wife likes the luggage)

One could scrap the rest.... though just to annoy PRW I would get one and drive it round wales ;)

Look at the Mansory site. Put a posting on here last week. The price starts at $750 000 going up to $1 000 000 if you want 'extras'. What, like a stereo?

Bargain!! I will taken two. I suppose that if you have that kind of money you could afford to have an additional "normal" G to do the everyday stuff..... like driving!

I like the look of the Roller in the reflection too.

@ Big Block, they have taken that option away, as people were only ordering it in the SWB version. They found when polishing it they would get a free LWB version after not too long!

Re: Abomination........or........masterpiece??

Hi Spider, since we are on the topic of how to make an expensive vehicle very very expensive, I was out in this at the weekend.

If you find that  £1million for a standard Veyron is just a touch cheap then Bugatti will supply you with one of these Super Sports for £1.6 million. 

Personaly I found that there was not much room for the dogs and there is no option to fit a towball so I won't be ordering one.

Ah sorry, i could not place the side profile, even confused my french and german autos.
No doubt if it satisfies a man of your experience with motors then it must be well accomplished!
