However, all this performance comes at a price: the Roadster S weighs in with a hefty í‚á£38,900 tag - that"s í‚á£7,905 more than BMW"s own 3.0-litre flagship. For those feeling extra flush, a Lux version is also available for a í‚á£3,950 premium. This model features sat-nav, xenon headlights, full leather interior, Bluetooth car phone and CD changer.
Both are versions of the forthcoming R-Class, but are actually different lengths. The bottom one is the standard car and has been seen before, but the top car is the all-new stretched wheelbase version. It will make its debut at next week"s Detroit Motor Show.
