Ok so not that far away I was told that they are Feb production so March April seems right.

Do you think they will make a big premium for the very early cars say £10-£15k ?

That's good to know three sixty.

Yes I reckon 4+ months of good over list prices.

I've been offered decent money for my slot already but definitely want to take delivery myself & hear that exhaust note for myself then show it off amongst other Supercars in Knightsbridge smile
Where did you advertise your slot?

5% premium is negligible, nothing compared to what BMW or Porsche buyers achieve. Unless you get 20%+ why would you want to sell an epic car?

I was just wondering as the 1st gts Amg made about £10k overs for about the 1st month then dived ,but if the gtr is as amazing as they say could it not end up making crazy money like the Porsche or the m4 gts seem to be making ie £50k+ just wanted to see what your lots thoughts might be.

I've not advertised it anywhere as not looking to sell my slot.

I know a lot of fellow Supercar owners + car spotters & was approached as they know I'm getting this beauty

Very difficult to say till we have confirmed numbers imho. I'd certainly expect a premium, to what extent and length it lasts for is anyone's guess at this stage

I've decided currently not to go for ceramics 6point2.

I've owned a few Porsche 911 Turbos without ceramics incl a new 991 & had no problems selling them. I think customers who want ceramics will also want the highest spec cars, but I personally think the majority of buyers won't be fussed. Do you agree? (I've had them on my 458 & then a Huracan but it's standard on those models)

Have you ordered them on yours?

I am undecided but I also agree with you that it will help high spec cars or at least the examples which have roll cage and buckets. So either make a very focused car for the track or more usable fun car.

Lol threesixty. I meet up with a good few Supercar owners so why not take the AMG GTR instead of the other car. Good to promote the brand + I know a few drivers of the GTS model.

I have seen a Lamborghini huracan/gallardo pottering around rbkc a few weeks ago with fa57est. I presume it was you smile

Great number plate btw, will you move it to the GTR?

Will price up the gtr over the weekend hopefully. Are you guys expecting discounts? I am dreading the final figure because I know what I'm like with option lists rotate

No discount expected, why would they if they've got a full order book?

I'll ask though!
