There was a badge on the instrument binnacle, so I didn’t stick around to ask questions.

I’m 100% down with the wheel size and fitment, especially since it’s probably bagged (the only sensible option for this kind of thing if you can afford it). The wheels themselves though, agreed, no thanks.

Those wheels look like they belong on an old Yukon.

If I had that car I’d be afraid to drive it, much less change anything.

The business nerd in me wonders what the argument for this was. Maybe they made it with Aston Martin fanatics in mind? As in, the kind of guy who has a few already and needs one with four door? I think anyone on this site would just buy a DB9 and an (insert your LBW drug of choice here) instead.

Unless something has changed, these things depreciate like mud in a mudslide. In 3 years they go from $240k to $125k. There are several on Autotrader.

How does that even survive in NY?

I’d much rather have a rapide over a panamara but not with those wheels

2011 on Autotrader for $73K - Doug should do a piece on this car.

Either garaged or it lives out in the Hamptons.

Oh - what is “bagged?”

Air suspension! Usually custom on a car like this, aka at least 5 grand

Eh - he’s done an Aston. And a Ferrari ... maybe a Gallardo at some point?

The Wikipedia page seems to indicate that sales were not good - I suppose if you like the badge and want the matched set ....

I wouldn’t say they “belong” on an old Yukon, or even anything; it’s just that these tacky things usually find their way onto one.

Even sadder seeing them on something like this. Besides the terrible aesthetics, they look like weigh about 40 lbs a piece.

IIRC the rear leg room was a joke (no surprise there)

We all ready know no one actually wants to own and drive a Lamborghini. Unless maybe it’s a Hurracan

So that suspension would be aftermarket?

Doug should. I saw one in SF, none since. It’s a cool ass sedan, I like.

My common sense tells me a Panamera would be cheaper to run and more reliable, but I suppose if I’m in that price bracket I don’t give two shits.

Yes, unless those wheels are massively upsized and it isn’t actually that low IRL. Hard to tell from here.

Not kidding, I see two-three very week on Long Island, and it’s definitely not the same one over and over

Probably true, now there is the Panawagen.

I believe you ... not much interesting iron comes into the city.

Yeah, it’s one of those... why buy a used 7 series when...

Yeah - needs something more subtle.
