Was it the Grand Canyon du Verdon? I've driven the route, I think, and it's a magnificent place to drive, if the prospect of a skinny bit of Armco separating one from 3,000ft of bugger all doesn't put one off.
Sadly I didn't have my car with me, I was in a hired Pug 406. Umm not really the car to fling down an Alpine road, too lardy.
Yep: a superb W12 should be fine but it allready exists: called Phaeton over here. Now that VW is considering trowing all those unsellable Phaetons in a lake, the W12 Superb can pick the thread up. If it's given away, it might even sell!
Phaeton ain't a bad car: got a lift in one, drives nice; got a proposition for one: 50% clean off the selling price, 64% clean off for a "used" W12 with 6500 km on the clock. Scrambled all I could to get out as fast as possible. :)
A supercar (all 2500 kg of it!) with a big VW-badge on the nose and steering wheel is about as much worth as the same supercar with a Skoda-badge (no offence to the Bouncing Tjsech ) and depriciates twice faster as the brick can fall.
A VW-supercar with the Bentley-logo on: now we are cooking with charcoal !
No problems. We Skoda owners/enthusiasts love it. Especially when the true value of something becomes a reality that smacks a VW owner in the mouth compared to the "apparent" value they thought the badge had.
Strangley, there was a 2 door coupe Concept car called the Skoda Tudor that was originally meant to have a 3 litre turbo V6. The designer left Skoda but was sent to Bentley in a VAG re-shuffle. Soon after the sketches of the Continental GT appeared. So the continental GT is just VW with a Bentley badge, it is a Skoda with a VW badge.
