Default 2006 MY on autoebid

Just logged onto autoebid and, if my eyes didn't deceive me, the picture of the lime green appeared to be the new 2006 MY (look at the wheels).

available from 01/08/05

Not a bad price either!!

"the S2000 has the highest revving production engine"

no, its matched with the F430. Some would argue the RX8 does but I say its just a big washing machine for an engine


"Added to that, the S2000 has also the highest output per litre among any production cars in the world. That means, at 26,500, you are going to be driving around on a revolution.
No, the latest bugatti has higher, so does the Chrysler super car soon to be launched along with the F430 IIRC", Ok they are just slightly better than the S, but only slightly.

When the S was released in 1999 the statement was true but not today I'm afraid

Yes but the statement that it is the world's most powerful NA 2L production engine in the world still holds true doesn't it?

2 Litre yes, BHP per litre, sorry. Still probably the most powerfull 4cyliner though

The F430 revs to 8,500. It generates 114hp per litre which is still less than the F20C.

The Bugatti Veyron is turbo-charged.

The Chrysler isn't out yet.

They have mis-quoted slightly by not mentioning N/A but I think we know what they mean.
