I heard it would be around $750,000 down here, so $400K sounds about right for the US.

Many of you are talking about what is faster, what has more power, blah blah blah!!!!

If a car is capable of 3.9 seconds or 4.5 seconds or 3.1 seconds, are you really gonna notice it???

Also, are you David Coulthard to be able to drive this thing at its full potential? I would say a big fat NO to the vast majority of you!

Further, when will you ever roll up next to a Bugatti at traffic lights to be beaten if you are in a SLR? Its not like these type of cars are everywhere! Like someone said earlier, most people will never see one, so what makes you think someone who owns one will come across a car which can match it? On top of that, those who can afford these things generally won't want to drag them against anything that pulls up next to them!

This car is sensational for two reasons. One is because it is a hand-made Mercedes which is as rare as tits on a bull, and two is because the performance is up there with the best, but it is still a Mercedes, which has certain connotations to it, like being really good cars that dont fall apart!

And besides, if you can afford to spend $750K on a car like that, I'm sure you aren't looking for something to drive your kids to school in, or race down at the local street meet against the local petrolheads, but something that will turn heads, which this thing will do quite nicely.
