I drove a '92 Corrado SLC with the VR6 engine for five years, and when I heard they were going to produce a 72 degree W12 from this engine for Audi I was enthused. Then they produced the Continental with the twin turbo version of this engine. From what I have read, this car with 600 hp is so fast that many of the owners really don't have the driving skills to deal with the performance and there have been a bunch of BAD high speed accidents with this car. I wanted one immediately! Problem: I like small lightweight sports cars, I drive a '14 Cayman S, 2976 pounds of probably the best all around sports car in the world, better than the GT4/GT3, since I have 97% the performance with less than half the cost and the same gold-plated crest on the hood. Thus, the 5500 pound British boat really isn't my thing but you cannot argue with the performance!

Yup on the catastrophic maintenance, you can quickly go through 10K in repairs. Head unit completely died ( 2016 GT V8 S) in 2021 wasnt expected. Luckily in extended warranty but still a good wtf moment. 13 GT Speed had random fan issue killing the battery and several thousand later still wasn't fixed properly by dealer. Lesson learned is you need a good independent mechanic but still parts can be expensive and many hours of labor. Especially when your alternator dies.

A 2021 camey hybrid the warranty is only $1200 but a 2018 BMW M6 the warranty is over $8,000. And working there, i learned every range rover is crap. If we had a range rover on the lot even if its a 2022 it would have a dead battery. Doug is just one guy and that warranty was over 6 years so he was a spec on the map of warranty claims. We have stats on when we can and cant sell a car and make it worth wile. We will sell a 12 hear old lexus with 130k miles but no range rover or Mercedes over 4-5 years and no more than 60k miles.

Several attempts by the AUDI dealerSHIP failed to resolve the issue - He dumped the car at auction with its full service history - so that buyers would be aware of service issues. The only thing that terrified me more was Rudder hard-over issues - having a 30 years military career that began with the RAF and served three countries in that time - flying HEAVY aircraft as well as F-111 and Mirage As much as I like the appealing looks of the BENTLEY the maintenance and cost of ownership is approaching that of a business jet such as a CESSNA CITATION - I could not afford to operate both -
