New toy :)
 

And the reason I'm thinking of selling the S8!

Photos taken by the previous owner, but you get the idea...

The red interior is same colour as 1st picture in the flesh. Looks extremely bright and garish in the interior shot for some reson.

Lovely car, I only dismissed a 55 AMG as I wanted to use my near enough 500 BHP all of the time, and when I put my foot to the floor in the soaking wet leafy autumn roads after I had picked the car up, and it launched with no wheelspin or any traction control to 60 in 4.6 seconds, I knew I had made the right choice. But still, I need to get an E55 AMG out of my system, they sound so much better then the Audi V8, love the quads. +++

I thought that up until 2006, they all had 476BHP - mine included.

I have since learned that AMG only produced the first 100 cars with the "quoted" 476BHP! All subsequent cars had 500BHP - apparently, they got into a bit of bother over this "under quoting" of BHP.
