    Partridge was right at the time, or Top Gear, I guess. The Mégane trophy R has since held the laprecord for front-wheel drive cars at Nürburgring for quite a while though. First place now is a concept car but like half of the top ten is Méganes still. Pity because that's my ex' name.

    In Melbourne the GLE63 (2019+) can be anywhere between $190K (second hand) up to $260k (brand new).
    That $158k was either a second hand GLE53 or in the price in USD.... in Melbourne you can only dream of such a low price 😅

    The cars are usually on lease from a dealership in the country. They aren't the drivers' personal cars. The only time you see the personal cars is if it's a European race or a home race
