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

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.
It's definitely the best 'Taxi' I've ever owned!
Sold out and bought an EVO......then sold it because it was rubbish!

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

What do you do for a living Lee?
Does it involve breaking up white powder and mixing more white powders together again?

I used to eat radiation when I installed linear accelerators in hospitals, tasteless but left a nice tingling sensation

That was probably due to the fact that you walk around with a Barbie Doll in your pants?

I was behind one of these in Bradford with an illegal driving it and I wondered what that heatsink was.... they do sound good, apart from when there is fookin wailing music coming out of it... was like a portable mosque!
