Talking The Much Expected Delivery Day Was Today

Hi everyone,

I am very impressed about the accuracy of the ETA.
And I love the car.

Specs are the following:

V6S Coupe
Rhodium Silver
Panoramic Roof
20" Blade Wheels
Super Performance Braking System with red calipers
Switchable Active Sports Exhaust (ofc!)

Design pack with Black pack
Visibility pack
Parking pack
Climate Pack
Performance Seats in Red Premium Leather with Red Leather Interior Pack
Suedecloth Upper Environment
Sports heated leather steering wheel - Flat
bottomed with Ignis paddles
Meridian 380W Sound System – 10 speakers

and a few others + some accessories.
Some photos attached. Artistic photos incoming soon.

Have a great day! I know I did.
And for those still waiting, don't panic. This day will come for all of you soon!

P.S.: I Love this gearbox when using the paddles.

Congrats. Looks great! What a great feeling when you finally get to drive it home! Enjoy.


The ZF gear box is spectacular. It sifts as quick as a DCT. The ZF gearbox is so much better than my AMG speed-shift transmission in my SLK 55 AMG.

I like the interior. Dealerships never have cool options like that.

Stunning and congrats...that was my second color choice...and it looks smashing against the blade wheels...well done!

Those rear 3/4 shots are the best...have I mentioned that I prefer the larger twin V6 exhaust pipes better than the smaller quad tips on the V8's...?

Really nice colour, I saw one at my dealer awhile ago and thought it was very sharp.. I like the hot interior as well.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

The more I drive it the more I like it. I believe what I am experiencing feels close to "real love".
In the first 2-3 days I had to get adjusted with it, but now, after realizing how fun this car really is to drive, how happy it can make you only when manually shifting gears at full throttle (2nd to 3rd to 4th are the top), how amazing that "purr" really is in real life when releasing the gas, compared to the hundreds of videos I had watched during the 3 months wait... I must confess I haven't expected this.

Looks almost don't matter at this point, all of us get used to the looks during the waiting period... "but still, that ***..." .
Holiday starts tomorrow. And I am sad I have to leave for one week. That says it all.

I am sold. Totally.

I just noticed the diffuser...do all the V6 have color matched diffuser like this? Looks pretty sweet compared to my all black one....

OK, figured it out...it's the design pack. Does anybody have the design pack on the V8? Curious what it looks like with the quad exhausts.

The design pack is not available for the v8, only the v6 models
