To save you the trouble of checking the specs on this thing, it has a 500hp V10 which produces 383 lb/ft of torque. The Neiman Marcus edition which this one is was originally ordered for $139,000 and all 50 made sold out in 92 seconds. Of course they came with tickets to Germany to take delivery at the factory. Here are some more pictures...
This car has a 7 speed double clutch SMG, which also has an automatic mode. when you hit the "M" button though, it has to be shifted using the paddles or the stick.
Here's my impression from driving it: It felt really heavy. The motor was definitely a beast but this car would be hard to live with as a daily driver. In the course of normal driving, when it shifted it took a split second to change gears during which time the occupants seem to lurch forward. The owner drives around with it in "M" mode all the time because the faster shifting is the only way to deal with this ride, it definitely felt more like what I was used to changing gears in "M" mode. Out of respect for the owner and my sister who was having to fill the tank I didn't get out and hoon in it. The saddest thing I can say about this car is the cost. In the 5 or 6 years since this car was new it has lost around $100,000 in value. Indeed, a nice example can be had for around $38000 these days. While it may have some additional value in being a rare car (Neiman Marcus edition), I wasn't able to find any comparable ones exactly like this one for sale to know for sure.
