Still Love my 2019 S65 Coupe

I'm one of the fortunate ones to buy a 2019 S65 coupe new and still have it. Although its not my daily driver, I enjoy driving it occasionally. I got to drive it 400 miles today (Drove 3+ hours each way for a 1.5 hour meeting) and was reminded just how amazing this car is on the open road. When I was contemplating on buying it back in 2019, my son told me to buy the car that puts the biggest smile on my face. ... And the real test he said, was will it still put a smile on your face two years later. Well, its been 6 years and I can't stop smiling each time I drive it. For those looking for one. I know it can be frustrating since so few were sold after the refresh (2018 and 2019). If you find one however, grab it, take good care of it and you'll enjoy a fantastic car for many years to come.

I had these shot by a professional photographer during covid. The car hasn't changed.

The shape and curves of the C217 are for the ages. The side view is what a car should look like.

Beautiful car.

I just love that every so often I need to pinch myself to make sure it is real.

The 279 powered cars are soooo special.

Beautiful car OP. Excellent choice.

Please stope enjoying your car and keep the miles off. It needs to be in perfect condition when I’m ready to buy, haha.

It really doesn’t get much better for a “non super car”…which many might argue it is one.

From what I've heard....
A Hyper car is a car that costs more than $1,000,000, has more than 1,000 HP and can go faster than 200 MPH.
A super car is a car that costs more than $200,000, has more than 600 HP and can go faster than 200 MPH.
My coupe Cost $248,000 (Check
It has 631 HP (Check)
and its top speed is "ONLY" 186 MPH (I was never that brave or stupid to verify)
Since our roads in the U.S. are not built for high speeds (Like the Autobahn) - they are too rough to drive at very high speeds, i'm willing to 'Compromise" and accept only 186 MPH in return for a fantastic, ultra luxury driving experience. (Check)
