Nardo Grey and any Audi S or RS Car = Certi Drivers :p

I like Nardo Grey on such cars :D

Nardo Grey must be really offensive on this Forum for Black Badges AND Black Wheels to be overlooked.

Jesus...i shouldn't have uploaded the pics, it's getting ransacked. :p

If it helps, it's been up to Litchfield, 720bhp and a Remus exhaust. Sounds and drives like a rocket.

To be fair the Audi RS6 is probably the best family wagon you can buy and would have one over any RR or SUV at that price point.

My old boss had one in mystic blue and it was a weapon.

As fast as Gibbo's McLaren in a straight line at least (or maybe not) :p :cool:

Would be an interesting one, your major disadvantage will be the weight a 600 LT Spider is 1290kg dry so about 1400kg with fluids and fuel. Most powerful car I’ve gone up against was like an 860HP Mustang but the 600 made it look like it was not moving on a roll from 60-150mph.

Easily the fastest car I’ve owned and best handling by miles as it’s literally a big Lotus, but take the speed element away and it’s just an out of world car and such an overlooked one.

At yesterdays Mountain runs and track event other drivers were blown away as they had powerful cars but were seeing 110-120mph on back straight whereas I was pulling 150mph and that is in torrential conditions.

Gonna do the TT again tomorrow, managed 160mph on Friday not know the road and it was public so oncoming traffic. Go closed runs tomorrow so no oncoming traffic so fingers crossed it dries out, see if I can top 170mph. :D

Though it was wet on track I got to experience the 600 when provoking it more and must say once it is sideways it rotates in such a stunning way and is very controllable so in the hands of a professional it would just be bonkers even in wet.

Yeah, i don't seriously think it would beat a 600LT. The quattro system might help in real world conditions, it would be closer than the average punter might think though.

Going to be looking at a 600LT convertible myself next summer, testing driving it and whatnot. But i'm heavily leaning towards 458 spider.

I’d not want to make that choice drive both as you say.

Owning both the 600 LT totally steals the show at any car meet whereas the Ferrari far less so, the 600 LT out of all cars I’ve owned drives the public mad in a good way, they just love it.

To drive also not easy choice both amazing but different but spider V spider the 600 LT is in a different league due to carbon tub and hydraulic steering as McLarens make such good Spiders, but a 458 coupe is an awesome car.

Drive both buy your favourite. :)

It would be my first proper proper car so i want to get it right, the plan is to keep it for the next 10/20 years, so a 458 in my eyes is more likely to increase in value. Massive novelty factor with it also. Red/yellow calipers/cream interior etc. But the 600LT would be quicker round a track, and i get the impression you could use it everyday, like a Turbo, more comfortable with longer trips. More serious thought will go into it start of next year. i'm in no rush so to speak, think prices in the 2nd hand auto market will continue to cool over the next 12 months.
