Stupid car honestly... Weighs as much as a tahoe
That's a car for you to be driven in... Not for you to drive

Beautiful for a very large sedan.
I looked at the front seat photo and then the back seat photo and at first glance they looked the same. That's some kind of spacious back seat. I get the bragging rights that come with engineering a sedan that goes 200mph, but mostly only bad things happen when a car that heavy goes ultra fast. You cannot engineer basic physics out of the situation nor the driving skills of some of the people who can afford to buy this type of car. Google "Bentley hitting tree" and look at the many images Bentley sedans losing control. I know all cars get in accidents, but not all sedans are this heavy and go 200mph, magnifying the problem immensely the moment the driver loses control. Physics aside, I know most people driving this car will drive it responsibly and in control and never experience an accident. The only thing that will happen to those drivers and their passengers is that they are 100% sure to get out of the car at the end of the drive with waffle butt. |

I believe the entire point of this car is to be "heavy, solid, quiet, and beyond comfy". If I owned one, I would not care about it's top speed as it it would rarely ever hit 100mph. For what? But on the subject... I would rather take my chances of a high speed impact in this car vs a light weight exotic.
