CGT sounded like the Carrera GT.

The article is way too small too see. perhaps it can be made bigger?

the link above the pic is a little bigger and slightly more tolerable. or just change view font to a larger setting. strains the eyes, so i just scanned till i saw a number...seems like it'll get more than 650hps.

650's nice... You think people will be disspointed that they just purchased a supercar that is being re-vamped for moore power. I'd be a bit pissed.

notic · 10-06-2005, 06:10 PM

same here. but maybe they'll use this 650hp one as a race spec version or something that'll cost more than a base slr.

Alx · 10-06-2005, 06:16 PM

Maybe if its like $100K more than fine, but anything less is really close, and perhaps prior owners would have waited or something. People who bought these have money, $50K or so doesn't matter to them, they just wanted to have the state of the art top of the line version.

Anyone see the slight design changes like the large single side exhause pipes? the side vents have been changed as well. It`s also said to be lighter
than the currant SLR. I think the price is going to go up big time as you indicated AlxAmg!! The performance should be way better than the currant one though.

Alx · 10-06-2005, 06:53 PM

Wow, Enzo like SLR? Im interested, design sounds nicer too... haven't heard or seen anything.... Should be a treat!

Maybe you only need a chip?

The article say 650hp, better aerodynamic and less weight.
