Heavy car, not much power for such a big engine. Be good for cruising around more than driving hard I would imagine.

I acually got to drive one about 2 years ago and hell it was quick, I think the fact that it was an auto made it seem quicker for some reason you just planted your foot then were pinned back in your seat on boost style!

very quiet aswell you could here a pin drop at full chat!

What a tool...........................

They are a 5 and a half litre V8 running a supercharger running the best part of 350 bhp..

My mate has got one and they are certainly a serious piece of kit.

They sound awesome under load too.....


Keep your eye out though as there are some high mileage ones and check history well for clocking.

M5? Now your talking...............!!!!!!!!


The only downside is the noise difference, the AMG definately wins hands down.
