Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Widely considered the greatest car ever built — ultimate collector prestige
  • Central driving position gives unmatched sense of connection to the car
  • Only 1,138 kg — lighter than almost anything in FH6
  • BMW Motorsport V12 sounds like nothing else on earth
  • Gold-lined engine bay heat shielding — because why not

Cons

  • No ABS or traction control — you must drive it properly
  • 627 hp in S2 class means you need to upgrade to compete
  • Auction House prices are extreme (5M+ CR routinely)
  • Narrow vintage tire setup demands immediate modern rubber swap
  • RWD + short wheelbase = snappy oversteer if you lift mid-corner
