Wow! Gorgeous. Unfortunately my position in life doesn't yet allow me to sit down for that very expensive "cup of coffee".

My only dig is I've never liked the rear lip spoilers when they have that gap. Just me but I prefer either built into the boot lid or up proper on two posts. And the AD in me thinks, how do you properly polish in there

Agreed, an awesome looking beast.

Cheers

I'd love one of those, in that colour too. But........
personally I'm not a fan of overwrought styling, scoops, addenda, etc - too bling in my eyes. I know that the spoilers aid stability and road holding but they don't do the elegance of the design any favours.

Optional equipment: "Carbon Fibre Roof Panel"? wtf???

And how can the Volante S have the same weight as the Coupe S? On the non-S there has been 100kg difference..

They have added brackets now with (coupe) and (volante) for the different options. Not sure why they can't do a page for each model.

But getting back to the car. its stunning !

Not a fan of those quad exhausts, too much Nissan GTR, and I bet its just a finisher on a single pipe each side....

Kind of like the quad exhaust. Perhaps they are going with the one being the closed valve exit and the other being when the exhaust valve is opened. Only thing is that on cars with this set up you always see two exhausts that are carbon black inside and the other two relatively clean.
