What was the fuel consumption like in real-world conditions ? And outward visibility from the rear aside from the camera ?

What a beast of a car!! Wouldn't want to own it outside of its warranty period, but during I'm sure it would be a fantastic ride  ;D

You know I never did look backwards....
And I still haven't told my wife about the fuel bill....



(visibility is decent for this day and age. I ended the week at 14.1).

i can't imagine the fuel bill is of any concern to someone buying this car...that said, all things considered, 14.1 is pretty decent for what this is.
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

14.1 is better than decent for a massive super car luxury sedan such as this.  I can see that in a bad week of in-town traffic in my car.  :-[
