OK, so as I didn't hide it particularly well - here's the new car!
I liked the Monaro, with the mods it was VERY quick and it was comfortable and nice to drive BUT I didn't love it. This car came up, I got offered a deal too good to refuse on part-exchanging the Monaro so here I am!
Welcome to the Mercedes CL600 Bi-Turbo!
Specifications are as follows:
Mercedes CL600
Black
5.5 litre V12 Bi-Turbo engine
Petrol
Automatic
Brembo Brakes
500bhp
0-60mph in 4.6 seconds
Top speed limited to 155mph (rumour has it removing the limiter means 200mph...!)
As for gadgets/functionality the list is never ending, but here are just a few things the CL600 option list included...
Bose speaker system
Heated leather seats
Ventilated (air conditioned) leather seats
Fully electrically adjustable seat
Massage function seats
In-car refridgerator
Auto-opening boot
Heated steering wheel
Distronic cruise control (proximity sensors)
In-car phone
Full navigation system
"Keyless Go" system
DVD and TV
Tyre pressure sensoring
Double glazed windows
Languatronic full voice control
Electrically adjustable suspension
Electronic privacy blind
Electric sunroof
... it really is endless!
It's taking a while to get my head round using all the toys, but as for driving it - can't get enough of it! The power is unbelievable, it just feels effortless and so so smooth! Only downside (maybe) is that it's very quiet, but the addition of the AMG exhaust system (not an if, just a when!) will solve that! On the subject of upgrades/modifications, I have a new set of wheels on the way too as not keen on the ones it came with. Anyway enough talk, see pics below! Comments welcome as always
Here's the car
