Looks better with the silver wheels.


Garish cabin, shiny plastic steering wheel ... not so appealing.


A shameful state of affairs that the USA customer is short-changed on the seats.


And a "Babboon Butt Red" phallus to keep the compensation there in the right hand.


... and just in case you forgot ...

Nice. Now we're just waiting on the Monkey, who apparently drove it the same day but has yet to post...

Wow, look at the size of that scoop. Looks like it could swallow birds!

The decklid and wing are the same as the 3.8. I wonder if they replaced the (absurdly heavy) end plates with this oh-so-light painted CF they tout as being a great weight saver.

That is true. Gives more downforce, but also more drag. That is why the top speed for the 4.0 is the same as 3.8RS, despite the extra 50hp...

That is standard - black interior is a free option.
