It is not a slow thing.

Here is an excessively instagrammy potato picture of the thing.

Please feel free to AMA, particularly if you are interested in purchasing a Volcano Red Audi SQ5.

If I weren’t looking for a 3 Series, I would love a Volcano Red SQ5. I drove a Daytona Grey one last summer. It’s an absolute rocket.

Congratulations on the new C63, though. The 507 is my favorite C63 next to the Black Series. You made a good choice.

What do you know about that white Econoline?

Awesome ride!

How easily does it do burnouts?

I did one out of my driveway by accident this morning.

I WANT TO HEAR IT!

Will you deliver it to me with a set of keys and never come back for it?

Post fender flare picture please.

The freeway offramp near my house goes through a tunnel lined with tile. Much noise will be made on the way home from work.

It sounds like this (not mine, but nearly identical car--actually, mine came from Texas so I suppose it could actually be the same car):

Good question. Also good username. Still no.

I will fuel your fender flare fetish (and mine, frankly) when it’s done being detailed this afternoon.

Wanna race?

Aww yiss

Arrivederci > RPM esq.

Did they make 507 507's?

Rico > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 13:22

Kinja'd!!!

After owning a C300 for 2 years there’s nothing I want more than a C63, especially a 507 edition.

You crazy bastard.

Yes I know that wasn’t a question. Can’t wait to see it.

Very true. You were warned.

More of a fun fact than a question, but I’ve seen probably 6 or 7 C63 Edition 507's locally (in a town of 120k). I wonder how many they made? MB forums come up empty but I was thinking in the neighborhood of 1200-1500.

RPM esq. > Arrivederci
03/30/2017 at 13:48

I don’t know but I hope so.

RPM esq. > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford
03/30/2017 at 13:50

I don’t know. I think the answer is less sedans and more coupes, as 507 coupe production continued into 2015—there’s one at Carmax right now!—while sedan production stopped in late 2013.

Exotics @RTC on Saturday?

Is it opening day already?!?!

03/30/2017 at 14:05

Wow! Beautiful!

Did you ever sell the FJ80? What are you asking for it?

RPM esq. > Spaceball-Two
03/30/2017 at 14:12

Apparently!

RPM esq. > Straightsix9904
03/30/2017 at 14:13

Thanks. Not yet, and now I need to take care of selling my Audi first. But probably $4k-ish.

TheHondaBro > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 14:26

Can I drive it?

TheHondaBro > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 14:28

“accident”

RPM esq. > TheHondaBro
03/30/2017 at 14:35

Please do not allow your skepticism of my motives to spread to my neighbors.

dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 14:35

I’ve never actually seen the 507 sedan, just coupes. Didn’t even know they made a 507 sedan...

RPM esq. > TheHondaBro
03/30/2017 at 14:36

No. Maybe.

RPM esq. > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford
03/30/2017 at 14:37

As far as I can tell there are a lot less of them. The only one I’ve seen in person is the one I bought but I’ve seen a few on these here intertubes.

03/30/2017 at 14:38

I request side shots of your car, as I must see to believe

I think I can fulfill this and Fender Flare Guy’s requests in one go, and will do so later this afternoon.

Nice choice, one of the few acceptable Mercedes engines.

03/30/2017 at 15:35

Sedan or coupe?

Let me know if you need a recommendation for a good mechanic

RPM esq. > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
03/30/2017 at 15:37

Sedan. And thanks, know anybody in Seattle...?

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 15:41

Nice! Those are super rare!

I’m only a few hours south of you. But the drive isn’t worth it, Lynwood and Bellevue are both excellent generally, especially when it comes to nicer and rarer cars such as that.

RPM esq. > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
03/30/2017 at 15:46

How about MB of Seattle? Convenient to work...

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > RPM esq.
03/30/2017 at 15:51

I’ll ask around. I don’t know anyone there. But I will say it’s generally the other two and my shop battling for top scores in the region.

RPM esq. > AMGtech - now with more recalls!
03/30/2017 at 15:56

Well, with a loaner in the mix Lynnwood wouldn’t be too bad. Thank you!
