I believe this is pretty rare. 4 in existence I think. A pre 1900's Benz. Maybe someone knows a little more? The driver looks a little young but I can vouch for him.

Wow, first a brown Ferrari and now a brown Hurtu (apparently it’s a French copy of a Benz). DVLA has it down as first registered in 1899. Even Greta Thunberg can’t moan about that, can she?

Wonder if anyone has ever taken one to Vmax?

Not a supercar, but similar price and not too common? Spotted back at the start of May:

Watch Harry's garage review and apparently they feel very different.

Who cares when it looks this good.

Taycan Sport Cross is on my list, but the Audi is lovely too.

Chris Harris on the Top Gear video also says it seems to be a lot more fun than the Porsche, which he was puzzled about.

Surely Audi are not allowed to make their cars more fun that Porsche.......

Loved this today at caffeine and machine. Lovely spec for a 70th edition.

Handsomely, commendably brown. Bet it's "gold" something or other on the spec list. Love it!
Looks like Marrone Metallizzato to me. Has a nicer ring to it than metallic chestnut!



Not sure it's my favourite shade but I'd take it over Rosso/crema any day. Rosso...fair enough, but pairing it with an interior the colour of tripe? Is it an English thing? Not a combo I've seen much elsewhere.

Regardless of what it’s called, it looks a million times better on the classic Ferrari than the modern one.

Daytona from that angle is just gorgeous. So clean. So cool. So not a metallic brown, Burberry check seated footballer car.

I agree. Just can't get there with the idea of a brown 488.
