    The 181 was what the US market got, the European one got a 192 version.

    tossy, you drove behind me for 5 minutes and didn't even flash your lights? I'm dissapointed in you :P

    Your Audi has some road presence, I must admit.

    I don't think his has german plates? And is it not 2009, could be wrong though!

    Edit: Actually, I think it is 2011 actually, there's a 2009 near me and I always get mixed up :o

    It's one of those cars like a cobra or a RS2000 that if i see one i just presume it's a kit car until i'm told different.

    Yep, but in white. Probably a kit car. I knew they were rare but didn't !now there were only 500 of them.

    There's only one wedge-shaped coupe I want and that's the Mercedes C111. They were only prototypes though. I'd settle for a replica even! :pac:

    I saw one in the flesh at the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart. Something else. Amazing looking car. I believe it had a 3 liter turbo diesel that broke 200mph. This was helped by a silly long top gear which aided it getting to that speed.

    The first two had rotary engines but I believe the main help in getting to the magic 200mp/h was the drag coefficient. It was less than .20. Very aerodynamic! The new VW XL1 comes in just slightly less than the C111, but not much else trumps that.

    I hope to go to the museum at some stage myself...also would love to go to VW's Wolfsburg museum. :)

    I seem to have that in my head from the museum. Maybe I'm wrong.

    What's wrong with the E36? The compact one is looks weird, but the one I posted looks good.
