Presumably this Grey car is utilising one of the ex Bristol Cars Bavarian Motor Werks powertrains that MMC bought back or whatever and the customer gets the car built to his spec.
I guess a new build will be well over 350k as the older cars are up for 280k.

Reckon that's a bit mutton dressed as lamb, disappointing really as nothing there that we haven't seen before and probably no different under the bonnet to any S4 / 5 Aero.

They were 250k each, all sold. There really isn't much more power to squeeze out of the 4.8 without bolting on a supercharger and not sure if that is still available or will even fit? Looking at the car it seems there's been more attention on down force and possibly weight reduction. Think it's going to be the last V8 MMC produce so hats off for the effort and I'm very grateful for previously owning a Plus8 Aero. Now wheres that SLR.... 🤔

It has to be a race derived model to be special. That’s what the majority of people want in all brands, they’re always the car that command the biggest price for a reason.
Agreed, this colour doesn’t do it any favours. I’ve seen colours where it looks totally awesome

Being race derived it's such a shame that they didn't opt for side-exit exhausts (particularly in ceramic black) to add that old-school 1960's touring car look and feel - missed a trick I feel!
Cheers, Paul

I'm sure they are dual ceramic rear exiting amongst the diffuser according to some of the publicity. They possibly did it to tie in with the 50th Anniversary Aero 8's that had the same fitment and these are the ex Bristol Car engine/chassied one's that they bought back tarted up a bit.
