I know it's terrible! Chap posts a pic of his new car and this GC chap comes along to insult !

Some more fuel.







Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it's a great thing that we all here can express what we think. This car is bonkers.

This car is epic.

Lovely. And certainly the colour I'd have. I see you're in Nottingham - will have to keep my eyes open for it.

That's stunning!!! Sporty yet not "chavvy", very tastefully done.

I wish I could drive and afford to have a car like that! It must be the ultimate all round vehicle.

Sure am. I think we've met a couple of times.

ETA: It's also my daily, so probably see it sooner rather than later.

Is that Estoril Blue? It is very similar to a San Marino M6 I had once upon a time

I would not bet on that.

Well the full autocar test for the SVR comes out tomorrow.... as it happens I also vboxed my CTT only recently to 150mph, so will be interested to see they compare (i.e. how much slower the SVR is!)

Yes, it is Estoril. Months before the colour was revealed I had posted that I would like my SVR in Salamanca Blue.



It's a great colour, and one they are reserving for SVR.

I think that is

absolutely outrageous and as relevant and desirable as a 458 or any other sports/super car in my mind

V8-you need a Wraith in that colour to have a great combo

[unrepentant]

We delivered our first one to a customer last week. He went for black which I thought was a bit boring but his choice. It sounded amazing, almost as good as my F-Type!

Generally speaking have the new RRs, in particular the L405 been pretty rock solid reliability wise. Cheers

We've genuinely had very few issues and when there has been an issue LRNA have dealt with it swiftly. We don't sell diesels so I can't comment on those.

Our biggest problem remains that we can't get enough of them.

Good to know-many thanks

Congrats V8LM that is just stunning!

Couldn't resist joining in an adding my bit of fun that's now rather taken the limelight off my "bog standard" Supercharged....

Perhaps this get the thread back on topic slightly.....

Sutcliffe has jumped ship to AutoExpress ?!!

He's wrong about the 958's gearbox... its an 8sp auto, not dual clutch (pdk).

The RR was never going to out Porsche the Porsche, nor even get close frankly.... just like no-one would seriously expect the Cayenne to be better off-road than the RR.

I haven't seen an SVR in the flesh yet but in the pics it clearly has a lot more theatre and is more of an event than the relatively boring looking Cayenne... it does look great, but the real dynamic threat to the Cayenne will only materialise with the new X5M and GLE63 when its launched.
