Fascinating


The completed engine/box and lower sub-assemblies/chassis look huge. Makes you realise just how big '8s are.

Yes. There's a shot of one of the assembly guys walking past the front sub-frame and the brake disc looks absolutely immense. Beautiful motors... My next dream car. The D4 S8 Plus...
