Goddamn thats hideous. No hope against the Jag XE or even the BMW 3

Perfect spec.

Could mercedes get any more boring or predictable?

Potentially I guess, but it’s still technically recording 300-0, so I imagine all timings are done in this manner?

The vbox still records 0-300 times, and 300-0, individually then adds them together, despite going faster.

Do you not realise that this car has extremely specificly calibrated traction control to allow it to accelerate without spinning and brake in a straight line, demonstrated by the no hands. This is serious tech.

Slant nose turbo’s look so good. Which they’d do a 991 version.

I know that, but they’re still diluting the brand image, by making the top end car look like the base car.

The S class looks like a giant C-class though...

The 7 hasn’t been the strongest in class or in the BMW lineup for a long time, and this doesnt change that. however it is mean’t to be a fair bit lighter, and I’m not a fan of the S-class’s styling so maybe they will do better with this.

It sounds so much like a 650s I actually thought they might have dubbed the exhaust note from a 650s exhaust recording....

I’m having an aneurism right now

TIL no one knows what a facelift is.

I said design, not performance.

I get you. It’s a shame, I know I shouldn’t care how a car looks, but I totally do.

That wad of plastic reminds me how shit modern automotive design has gotten

They’re reliable, and going to be worth a lot more one day. Buy it, drive it and look after it and you can’t go wrong. Also this is my ideal colour combo, and transmission. NP all the way

UGh it just looks so right. See one regularly nearby (uk). loud as fuck, still awesome.

Nope

One other thing, turbo’s sound awesome! the whoosh, the spooling up and the blow off sound incredible and add such a diverse array of sounds to the soundtrack, yet every modern automaker attempts to hide them with synthesised sounds. Embrace the lag, embrace the sound, if you’re going to turbo, turbo the fuck out of…
