Very unusual wheels!

Those wheels came with the car. They were standard fitment from memory.

What a car for the money. These are seriously quick tanks. The engine is almost silent and it is an errie experiance driving one.

I'd much rather have that than the AMG

Me too. Although I do get concerned with the views that the V12 isn't as reliable as the V8.

I remember test driving one of these about 4 or 5 years ago. I pulled up behind a golf 'boy racer' who promptly moved over on the M4..... very quick and very much a licence loser

What is the small flat panel in the middle of the grill at the front - it looks painted to match the grill?

 

[BlackC55]

Distronic that is

Is the £15 grand the asking price or what it costs to fill it up ?

Carrying on from Howard, what is the mileage per gallon on one of these monsters?

The previous V12 with the ZAF technology could return 30ish MPG I believe. Not too sure about these - do these have the 7G gearbox? If so, they might be capable of similar figures.

They are the same as early CL wheels:

I assumed they were aftermarket and initially thought they were a bit bling. The more i see them the more i like them..............

 

[KillerHERTZ]

They are nasty! like the poverty spec W208 CLK 'alloys'

Its a twin Turbo V12. I imagine a dip of 5mpg on the S500. Not too bad IMO, and the V12 in that car is different to that of the one that preceded it.

It is just ace in every single way.

those wheels only came in V12 CLs
