Not just an SLR - but an SLR 722!@ I did not even know they brought the 722 to the USA.

This happened at 10am eastbound on the Kennedy Expressway heading into downtown Chicago. I could not make out who was in the car to save my life, those tints were dark. Unfortunately, I was in the S4 and not the E55, and there was boatloads of traffic so I couldn't see him open it up. It looks absolutely stunning in person. I am being told it was Mr. Michael Jordan - and from the vague silhouette of the driver I could make it - he would fit the driver's profile.

Little background info:

Thanks for the pics. I was not a big fan of the 2, but when I see it so running I must say it looks perfect. With thew black spoiler lip, the dark windows, the drak rear lights and the dark wheels. Perfect!!! Hvae also see one some months ago, that is running in our neighbour village. Hope that I can snape some pics the week.

I love this car, but I wonder how it would look in deep Burgandy with Black and Burgundy interior.

I've seen one last week and its worth it!

Great car. My dream car. Carrera GT killer.
No plates = Great.

Cheap tint = stupid. But great car nevertheless.
