Fast cars in general....

S65
Considered both panamera TT and flying spur but none were
as roomy nor smooth as 65. Love the interior and the silky
smooth power of 65. Did I say I'm happy I got the 65

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous, that's one of my favorite cars - beautiful color combo too, I see that you like white!

So, can you give us a little review on the performance? Compared to the GTR, and the other big cars like the spur that you tested.

2007 model. You can tell by the non-cross stitched leather on the doors. Only the 2007 had that. 2008 forward had the diamond pattern. Nice looking car. That's the flat white, right? I think I like that more than the other white/pearl looking color.

Two things i would do....

1) remove the front plate fill and repaint the holes.

2) i'm not sure about this one but i might change the wheels. i think aftermarket wheels probably 22" something nice and clean.


imho.

congratulations! Excellent choice. I've enjoyed an 07 S65 for 3 1/2 years - absolutely love it. Just upgraded the P Zeros to PS2 - HUGE difference!

MB has anounced no more 65 series cars (or other v12s) after 2011 model year. You havea keeper.

So it's safe to say you only like white on cars...

Looks amazing though. I love the interior
