Never saw this before

Out on the road today I saw one of these in this color:


It was obviously not this particular car but one just like it. Looked awesome!

The other thing I saw on a flat bed was a white RLX that looked as if it had been sideswiped by a tractor trailer and although it held its form and airbags were deployed, every inch was mangled from bumper to bumper on the driver side. It looked really bad, but in the glimpse I saw it looked like the safety cage and overall design protected the passengers. That was comforting.

I've only seen one S7 in person before and it was awesome! I wouldn't say it's particularly good looking but it certainly demands attention!

I remember when Lamborghini Dallas used to be an authorized S7 dealer for the area. I think less than 5 came through altogether, but they were amazing machines. S7 TT & S7 Competition from one of my last visits to the old location.





You can spot the Comp. in the background.

S7 is an epic car to look at and admire but I'd never want to actually own one.

I've only seen one in person back when I lived in Arizona at the Scottsdale Pavilions car show. It's even more striking in person. The other cars that stick out in my mind that I've only seen there and no where else are a Spyker and a Gulf Livery Ford GT. All of them had me drooling like a fool.

That's the car Tyler thought I was going to post when I said I saw an S7. I provided video of an Audi.

Yep! Something like less than 20 a year. And hand-built as well.

The twin turbo model had Ford's 427 7.0L TT V8. 750hp / 700tq.

NA model went from 2000-2004, and TT model went from 2005-2009.

TT model sold for $585k.
