Default got to borrow a phaeton today ...

All I have to say is that the W12 Phaeton is sick. So very sick.

I took it for a cruise on I-89 in VT today, and the acceleration literally ripped my Bell x65's suction cups off the windshield.

It also had a pretty cool batmobile feature: once you start driving, the wooden dash paneling retracts to reveal the AC vents.

If I found this car under the Christmas tree come December, I wouldn't complain.

iirc, it's 5.9 secs, but acceleration feels non-linear. it packs more of a punch than expected.
