Bought this car in southampton 2 weeks ago but only just got a chance to get over for it and get it home....fantastic bit of kit. I wasn't specifically looking for the performance pack plus, the most important thing was the lsd but the kit is nice giving it 487 hp/alcantara wheel/big brakes and a couple of bits of carbon fibre here and there. Came with the 18's surprisingly which was a no cost option and apparently ride better, look ok and a bit different to most which are on the 19" multi spoke's. Drives very well, huge torque from low down, best noise I've heard from a standard exhaust, very responsive gearbox that on manual mode will literally let you bounce off the limiter without changing for you and also blips the throttle on downshifts. Looked at m3's and rs4's also but they just seemed a little flat in comparison and I don't do any track work. Fuel consumption average 22 so far over 600 miles. Overall anyone considering on of these I'd say go for it esp at the price level they are at now...I had a few american muscle cars when I was younger and this is the closest thing to that available in family friendly form, a proper engine with a proper soundtrack

Those wheels are so much better than the vile multi-spokes.
Gorgeous car.

I struggle to get interested in any mercs at all but that looks great and I'm sure it sounds brilliant. Any chance of some pics with the whole car in please?

Love these. Nice colour combo, not seen that combo much, and I see a lot of these cars at work. Best bit it when they are hot, and you repeatedly blip the throttle and it bangs/pops over and over again, man I'm going to miss this engine.

Lovely car, and the wheels are fantastic! It looks a lot meaner on those than with "rubber band" tyres on 19's. Bring back sidewalls!

That is stunning, would love one of these! I do like the interior, nice to see a bit of a change from the usual black on black

T.K said: 10 points to the chap that specced that car. Agreed, takes a little effort cleaning but contrast interiors are so much nicer than the uniform black.
