had made GT3s and RSs without them, but it was a bold move in a big coupe. Ironically, it’s expensive to do neatly because you have to design and develop new trim to replace the seats, and it’s also unhelpful in a rear-drive car because you’re taking weight away from where it is useful…
I’m not sure why it has such a stumpy little gearlever, which is heavy and a bit awkward to slot down through the stepped gate of the seven-speed 7G-tronic automatic gearbox. Photographer Aston Parrott nails it when he says it’s like the stumpy lever you jiggle to adjust the cut height on a lawnmower. There are big metal steering wheel paddles, so once you’re in ‘D’ you can ignore it, and choose the keenness of the shifts with the mode switch, which offers Comfort, Sport or Manual.
Traction control on and now dialled in to the steering, a few decent prods of the throttle establish the level of traction and grip available. The 6.2 V8 might lack the monster low-down torque of the supercharged V8, but with 464lb ft it’s got plenty. Also ignore the fact that it peaks at 5250rpm because it feels like most of that is available at 2000rpm, as you’d hope with such a big capacity. A decent hit of throttle and the CLK kicks and slips a bit before ESP catches it.
