here's the coverage of the vehicle on autoblog.com

just a couple of bullets before I get to the pics:

- touted as the fastest sedan in the world
- top speed = 231mph
- 0-60mph in 4.35... yep, 4.35 As if that is quantifiable. Like, if it was 4.4 and you drove it, you'd go like :thumbsdown: LOL but whatever, 4.35 it is. Bet it could be faster if there was stickier rubber around too...
- 0-120mph in 9.5 seconds
-price? you'll need an M5 and about $71,780 of good old USD's... still cheaper than a Rapide



rear valance is like what was wrong with the OEM M5 rear?!?! ya know...

wheels are awesome, but I wish they were more concave


Nice ride!
(can't believe no one posted this here yet )

Impressive specs!

I just don't get the paint finish through -- its quite an understated body kit design but then has that carbon look and stripes I'll just try to imaging in it in all black with silver wheels and then scaring the living daylights out of other unsuspecting motorists when you plant the throttle!

They claim the bumper is for air flow because the motor is sucking in a lot more air with the supercharger. More function than looks.
