EVO Takes the S65 Coupe to the Track



This S65 track video is full of some great shots, lots of V12 noise, and after a few secret tweaks to the traction system, lots and lots and lots of smoke.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage. >>

Trks are rather irrelevant and boring for anyone who lives on LA's Westside or on SF Peninsula, w/plenty of local, challenging mtn/cyn twisties and world's best weather

In such conds, would argue S65 Coupe easily dwarfs latest SL65, GTS, F12 or 991TTS...or anything else claiming to be a perf car at any price....in spectacular balance of safety/precision/stability/aural entertainment.....only stuff relevant to most of those who can easily afford such cars; think in terms of risk-adjusted returns; live in such locales; and value their time enough to do their fun drvg early when grt rds are empty&world asleep....and back in home office, back to thinking after the cerebral/sensual refresh of such a drive, by time clowns even awake or out on rds....

The rest of us have to deal with bad roads, bad traffic and overzealous cops enforcing increasingly ridiculous speeding laws.
Illinois in particular, is a driver's purgatory.....
