Congrats mate, the S65 is such a beast of a car. How is the interior holding up after all these km and 6 years of use? Are you going to change the wheels? Also I am massively impressed by how you managed to get the R8 and the S65 for a total of only 100k Euro??

I love that wheel design. It's clean and clean is always a prime for me. Yes, the car is already 6yo but it has only 80.000km. on the clock and maybe that's why the interior is in good shape. It's not mint but it's great for what it is. Both the R8 and the S65 were bargains for what they are. You can't find cheaper than what I got them for. After all I'm a salesman and have my own tricks - I choose bargains as a start and then get a good discount on a deal that's already great... that's why I went with an AT R8 instead of my dream MT, it also had engine badges missing... and an S65 with a headlight that needs replacement
It's nothing special since each car costs about 50k EUR which is reasonable considering they both are very early models and the market is in pretty bad condition

Congratulations and happy motoring.

@Kowalski Thank you!

---------------------------

Today the car was serviced.
I also decided to change both headlights just to make sure they look exactly the same.
After all this the car got its insurance and is now waiting for its ECU to be tuned.

PS: I'm looking for some nice winter tires for both my cars.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The car looks great and must be a dream to drive. I think this is the nicest car you've owned so far, because it's a combination of supercar performance with limousine luxury.

Nicest car would be the LP560-4 for me but yes this one goes to second... which is great
I'm a sportscars guy but I'm already in love with that Monster Ship after only 2 days of ownership... just imagine! I adore it and can't imagine living a life without it

How does the car behave when you floor it? Do you get a lot of wheel spin?

I got a similar question and I've already explained it on the previous page.
It has a lot of wheel spin if that's what you want it to do but in the same time enough traction when you call for it

Its ECU is now tuned. The output is expected to be 712HP.
I'm not doing anything else to my cars. I'll keep them stellar!
Only two words can describe my V12TT - Tender Brutality!

Put it on dyno

Put it on dyno

No dyno for my cars

 

[DjordjeC63]

Why?

 

[mini_cooper4]

Why?

The people that do dynos in my town usually blow up engines or fcuk people's transmissions up.
I never dyno any of my cars as I never really cared how much HP my car has. It should be great for my needs... nothing else. I'll trust the tuner's promise... even tho I don't really care

Wow S65. .HIgh Roller style..

Congrats..and use it in good health

Tip (maybe to late now): If you paid for new headlights, you could have gone with the FL ones..

Yes, it's too late. If I go with the new ones I'll be a High Roller wannabe... new face... old rear
Like the guys that wanna make people think they are driving a more expensive/newer car. Nah for me it's all original... but the ECU

 

[mini_cooper4]

I guess 9mpg is OK I need funding from the army... since I'm driving a tank
100km. of normal driving results in 13mpg... which is OK!
For the first time in my life I miss my diesels THAT much

PS: Who said Leon? WTF is GTD? How German does "SD" sound?
