NEW 760Li SPOTTED !!

so me and my brother were cruising down 101 frwy and all of a sudden i see this new black 7 series and i am like "nice they are selling them already" so i tell my bro to get closer and he does and i notice that its a test mule and badges where covered and no 760 sign or anything, so i take out my brothers camera to take a video/pics and i start recording him while we are right on his ass and dude notices us after like a minute and all of a sudden he FLOORS it, but there was traffic lol and he couldn't go anywhere and my brother put it in the manual mode and the chase is on, his car was freaking fast but he couldn't lose us lol and he sees that we are still recording and he pushes a button for "automated curtains" you know like the ones that maybach has in the back for privacy... so the reason i know it was 760li is because it had those QUAD exhaust tips like the ones that was shown here like 2 days ago the white 760li, so we chased him for a good 5 minutes and than we had to take the exit and my brother is like "do you want to chase him" i was sooooo down but i would be too late to meet up with my friends so we didn't. but it was really fun and exciting to see him try to lose us. and when we are making an exist we get little bit in front of him and he looks at us and he gave us that look like "you guys suck, i hate you" nodded his head and that was it. i will try to get the video uploaded if i can. btw do you guys know why they try to lose us ? i mean we obviously knew something about that car, but why do they try to cover it up ?

it had the exact same rear and front except no logos or emblems.

Sounds like either the lamest or funniest car chase ever.

I saw a 7 series test mule a couple months before it was released on the 101 too, twas very cool.

Wow, if they are still driving 760 test mules around, I would think that it will be a few more month before the 760 will actually go on sale... I thought they would be done with that by now... I guess not...

I think traffic would probably be the factor why he couldn't loose you. If you look at the specs of the 760, 0-60mph in like 4.4 seconds, the 328i can do that in like.... hmmmm.... it's dreams only

Thanks for your post. Please post the video if you can. I'd be interested to see it

yea you are right the car is reallly fast, even though when he was in traffic it felt like it was a really fast tank lol if there was no traffic i swear if he floored it he would have probably made us look like we didn't even push the gas. but i gotta admit the car looks amazing in person. yea i tried but it doesn't upload, i can't even get it off my brothers phone dats why.
