    i think you have your figures wrong, its a diesel small displacement engine, i thought it was more like 5 or so l/km


    ok i just looked at the canadian smartcar site, its rated at 4.2 mixed driving, so basically around 4.8 for most drivers. its slow as hell also 40 hp, 799 cc engine. the car needs a kick in the butt.

    though you do get much more speed from the 850. the maximum speed isn't 135km/h

    not very impressed with the power of those motors considering it is a v12. under 400 horses? they coulda did better. theres a reason why they never made an M 8 back then. VERY nice car otherwise

    damn i remember playing a game that had this car in it...ever since than ive always wanted one but had no clue it was a v12 thought it was a v6

    i think the 840 is way better compared to the 850...theres hardly any diff between tq and hp...plus its only a v8 and better fuel economy. plus a 4l compared to a 5l...thats pushing mustang levels hah

    definately a beautiful car
