Sweet car, When I was young and thought my 324bhp focus ST was the quickest thing on the road... I tried racing one of these bad boys... needless to say even on full boost the merc shot past like i was going backwards... dont think i will bother trying to race one again lol

:lol:

The colour is Palladium Silver

Power is stated as 487PS, but several owners report this to be nearer 510PS when tested (I can't verify it myself).

0-60 is stated as 4.4 Secs; but the American Mags have proven it to be nearer to 3.9 Secs for the Standard 457PS version......some even report 100 in about 9 Secs. Again I can't verify this, but it seems a lot more eager than my previous RS4, Evo IX FQ-340 and WR1. In fact it's Scary-Fast up to the current enforced limit of 4500RPM (for Running-in). Probably because it's got 50% more torque than either the RS4 or Evo. That's why it's wise to specify the optional (!) Limited Slip Differential (which I did); otherwise it would be a little uncontrollable.

BTW: The Engine is actually only 6208cc (!) and fits under the bonnet with lots of room to spare. :o

It's definitely the best 'Taxi' I've ever owned! :D

I'll have to charge Top Dollar......it's not the most fuel efficient vehicle! :lol:

In fact, I've been scared to look at the trip computer since I saw an average of 14.9mpg on the way to work last week. :roll:
