Andrews spottings! Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe

[Andrew]

spotted this in glasgow yesterday but got pictures today when i took my camera with me.only a day old as on mondey the owner had a DB9
personally i think the normal cl looks god awful but this one is stunning so thought i would share it 8)
theres something focus st-ish about that front bumper though.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Thanks, awesome car 8)

And just like the previous CL, it looks damn better and imposing in real life.

[chest3r]

Very cool !!

Those wheels are really nice !!

[gucom]

hmmm personally i find the AMG version to look awful, the normal cars are more introverted, clean, classy... this is too agressive for the CL's class/stylishness imo... also i reaaalllyyy dont like the AMG interior when comparing it to the jawdropping normal interior (when it has the proper colours at least)

[MC12]

Nice spot andrew, that looks stunning :shock: . Hope you catch those local f430's on camera next time :wink:

:bah:

[Minacious]

The new CL, AMG or not, just isn't a very good looking car.

[silentm]

havent't seen the newest Cl on the street yet but this just looks like a bad brainfart :?

[Andrew]

well i prefer this alot more over the normal cl as it just looks too "bland" while this one looks more meaner and purposeful.i also seen it a week to the day i seen this.
guy also owns a roller and an slr
the person that was giving it a parking ticket thought it was a 612 :lol:

Completely agreed. Not that I like the regular CL either... but this AMG CL63 is one of the ugliest AMG works I remember :?

Good profit in these cars. Cash cow. . .

I agree though, I don't really like this generation's CL either. And this AMG Package doesn't make it better.

[yg60m]

The CL63 is indeed a nice-looking car, much better than regular CL, especially in black. Thanks mate :wink:

[Ghostbat]

The CL63 is indeed a nice-looking car, much better than regular CL, especially in black. Thanks mate :wink:

I totally agree.

[TopGearNL]

I totally agree.

Me too!

Its a whole different car with the AMG package on it!

Love it, especially in black! :D

That SL55 actually is a SLK55 ;)

And about the CL discussion:

I drove the CL500 yesterday, black exterior/brown interior, and that car is just stunning in the flesh! I immediately fell for it :love: Great car!

[Andrew]

The new CL, AMG or not, just isn't a very good looking car.
right well said the 599 is hot though

[Stoopie]

That Phantom actually is a Black Edition, one of 25 made (notice the visible exhausts and the black accents on the rims)

[Andrew]

thought i would stick this up
seen this today,straight away i knew it wasnt what it claimed to be but i have to admit a good copy,full M5 kit including side panels,wheels,exhausts,badge and reg plates.....what is it really......a 525 :lol: wing mirrors gave it away straight away

and someone had the bright idea of overtaking my mate instead of braking as he was sideways.doesnt look bad but the steering is broke and the engine isnt boosting(guessing the intercooler is its where the car was hit) and keeps cutting out when you go over 3000rpm and doesnt idle properly.
