MUCH better in the flesh than in any photos I've seen; my dealer says I can get one for June/July, pondering an orange one:



This was awesome too, but by heck the seats are narrow (however, I DID fit)

Some nice pics there Andrew, The BP lambo looks awesome! Not at all keen on the McMerc though. Perhaps it's one of those you have to see in the flesh.

It was stunning in the flesh. Probably just my photos not doing it justice!

The most amazing concept award went to Citroen though

Arancio Borealis, black SV logo and 'Ares' black wheels. Matt colours are available as an option...

In total there's 7 colours made available on the SV some with grey and some with black SV logos, all with black rims. Plus you can spec an SV logo along the rear wheel arch!

Anyone got any idea the spec level people are ordering them in? Big or small spoilers wise? They haven't shown any pictures of the smaller (practically non-existant)spoiler yet so I presume they expect people to spec the larger spoilers...

The spec I'm considering is: orange with orange calipers, big wing (have you seen the standard one? My dealer showed me the pics and it looks a bit pathetic when the rest of the car is so wild), nav, reversing camera, floormats and maybe carbon pack (but it seems really poor value). The big SV stickers look hideous. You can get 4 point harnesses and a fire extinguisher but this wouldn't be good for me (baby seat fitment would be a nightmare). You can also have manual as a no-cost option instead of egear but I'm now an egear convert. I don't recall any other options (unless you go for one of the matt paint finishes).

Only seen pictures of the smaller one, I agree that it doesn't look as extreme as the larger one though! Haven't managed to make it to Geneva to see the SV but a few close friends went and covered it for another website I'm involved with and said it looked pretty spectacular. That said I would have preferred to see the black parts painted in the same colour as the body.

What would be the chances of getting a custom Verde Artemis or Verde Ithaca coloured car?

'Excuse me young man,would you mind throwing yourself off at the other end? The Bentley stand is nearby and we can't have you disintergating yourself on the carpet next to our beautiful cars!'

PS the stand at the opposite end is Audi.
