After looking around at various cars, Audi A8 W12, 760, Alpina B7, Cayenne, and XJR I decided that the S55 offered pretty much still is the best package and they are getting pretty good value for money.

I was looking on Autotrader at a one year old mega spec one that appeared to be a bit overpriced,it was a mis-print, it's an S65 for near half price :crazy:

612 ponies :bannana:

Arrives tomorrow :D
 
Congrats!!

If you've driven it, how does the exhaust sound compared to the S55?

I'm currently negotiating on a CL65, but wondered about the exhaust note
 
you mean you're negotiating to buy a car you haven't driven ??

Yep, done the same with the CL55, bought it whilst on holiday, made picking it up even better :)

Not driven , but hey if there is anything wrong it pops straight back on the transporter to the dealers :D.

Maff found a sound clip from a chap who has both an SL55 and an SL65

I have been in an SL65 and the performance difference is noticeable, you think it can't be much quicker than the big supercharged V8's, but it is, I would agree with the guys that say the v8 sounds a little better more Nascar when fully extended, v12 is turbine like when booted, both good though

Now that is one lean mean driving machine.. and that engine bay looks like Mr da Vinci carved it with his own hands! Cracker! :)
 
I'm in awe twice in one day - first time Maffs new motor, now yours. Looks amazing.

If the 65s are getting snapped up at this rate, there'll be none left for the rest of us!!
 
Lovely looking motor, the fastest four door production rocket/car :)

Don't worry, this time next year Maff will be selling his....after even greater depreciation than the 55.
