Epic! I'm taking delivery of my MT CXX GTS Targa on July 25th with my wife and 4 month old son. Following a similar route South and will likely end up in Madrid.

Please continue to post more photos and notes of your trip.

Peter - great meeting you this morning at breakfast at the Dorint. Here is a shot of your car in the wild. Saw it at dinner the night before. Car looks amazing and no better way to break it in than at the ring.

Glad Peter corrected that it wasn't his car. My eyes are bad but not that bad. Miami Blue is what I saw. Continue your awesome trip Peter.

Amazing trip, safe travels! My last ED in 2014 was a blast, can't wait to another someday.

So the drive to Luzern went extremely well other then two 25 minute delays on the Autobahn due to construction. It was out last shot to go full tilt so we let it rip for a significant amount of time topping out at 155mph trying to stay as close on 5k as we could lol. This car is so much more comfortable and quiet then all my other RS models.... A pleasure to drive long distance really. The front end lift came in very handy in the parking garage here at the Palace Luzern Hotel, which btw has been a genuine great experience. We decided to stay for 3 days we like it here so much....

Today we took some short drives up to Selisberg and Altdorf which gave us some spectacular views to look at. I'm hesitant to drive over the speed limit anywhere in Europe. I swear I got blitz 5-6 times by cameras in the first 3 hours so that's plenty to worry about already.

Tomorrow we will hit more passes towards the Austrian border or drive towards Monaco. Spontaneous is good for the soul. Shout out to Klemens aka Austrian Kaffee/Coffee!! Danke für die Kaffee und KTM Einladung!! Das ist noch nicht vom Tisch weg!!
