Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Breath taking!!!! Simply breathtaking and it sounds amazing. This is what this car is all about nothing else......its a 5.0L V8 and it shouts at everything so if your looking for something mild mannered and meek then your looking in the wrong place.

Fairly easy with the parking sensors and camera.

Nothing gone wrong and I don't expect it too.

Its not about Gadgets this car is all about power and charisma.
