According to Brembo it’s one of the fastest ‘stopping’ cars in the world currently, 9th place, beating swathes of exotica..

Interesting it doesn't state the McLaren 720S which should definitely be on that list for 2018. When was the Senna unveiled? 2018? That should be there too!

Certainly some omissions, even though they have actually tested the GTR on cup2s (which stops even quicker obviously) its not on the list, maybe standard road tyres was a requirement for the test? do the maccers run std tyres?

I really dont like the old grille, i know other opinions are the complete opposite of that But i love the toothed look of the new grille, probably not as classy as the older one but definitely more of a racer look with the panamerican grill.

I hate how mercedes and owners have put the stock and non stock panamerican grill on sedans and suvs. But it looks good the a45

It even makes the yellow car look good only car it doesn’t suit is the A45

I’ve found a really nice low mileage, 1 owner from for £60k. Only issue is it’s Silver with black interior.

I’d prefer something like this colour combo:

What are people’s thoughts on this car?

Superb. For me, it's pretty much the perfect combi for one of these. Only red would be better....

[Meridius]

Must be a fairly rare combo compared to how many are in shades of grey but red with the beige interior looks great

Yes, standard road legal tyres.

Probably that list is fastest braking cars that use Brembo OEM brakes. I think McLaren might be made by AP Racing?

These GT’s look fabulous. There were a couple of them - an older one and a new one - at Donington the other day and I spent a bit of time studying them. The older car isn’t quite as aggressive but it still cuts a convincing shape and at £60/£70k represents a heck of a lot of car for the cash.

I’m fairly convinced that they’ll continue to depreciate mainly on the back of fairly hefty production numbers but if I were looking for a modern two seat beasty this would be right up there for me!

Ironically I saw one of these earlier. Not sure exactly which model it was but it looked and sounded fantastic.

Isn't it ironic. Don't ya think?

Tremendous indeed, the only fly in the ointment for me is the Merc badge which is absolutely vast.

The yellow is cool too - that's my pick of the bunch.

The colours make them even more tvr like in my book, like the red and that mid blue, certainly stand out more, if thats what someone wants

[BigMon]

For some odd reason I think the front looks ugly on that black one. Something to do with the grill and headlamps I think.

Whereas on the blue one posted above I think it looks great so maybe it's a bit colour sensitive.

Other way for me, i prefer the old style grill

Love it... but isn’t that the 10k paint job?

Yellow or dark blue with the silver 10 spoke alloys would do me

That's why I said it

I was on track with one of these a few years ago. He was still running it in (!) and was comfortably faster than me going at full chat. Amazing thing, great colour, top owner.
