Looks nice, but that looks like a 2017, not a 2018. Perhaps Europe is a year behind in updates? Also, the 2018s have a new Coyote (series III) motor with 25 more HP and a 10-speed auto trans.

As noted by others, this appears to be a 2017 based on the front fascia and the taillights, unless those were changed by the previous owner or the Euro market got the older design (but that doesn't make a lot of sense). Apparently, It's possible to have a 2018 that looks like a 2015-2017. Nothing wrong with that, I actually like the early S550 design better.

The most obvious/visible mods are exterior. Personally I would immediately replace the blue badges and the Coyote on the decklid, and that wing is questionable.

It appears to be lowered as well, I'd check out the suspension mods.

I didn't see any pictures of the engine bay, so hard to say what else is going on there. The interior seat covers look aftermarket, but not certain about that.
The quad tip exhaust could be aftermarket. I think the 2015-2017 OEM exhausts were single tip so the rear valance would have been changed too.

Is the roof painted black or is that just a wrapped roof? Either way I like the black roof on the white. It's an automatic, so is that a 6 speed?

Oh yeah, biggest thing, the steering wheel is on the wrong side (just playing)

Without knowing the history or accident status, it's difficult to say if it's a great deal, but it looks well equipped.

Very odd. I thought it was standard 2018. Plus modified wheels abd exhaust

Did hpi check. 1 owner from new. Mileage is correct. No accidents

Ditch the badges, replace the spoiler. Wheels are ok if they're your taste. Definitely find out what's gone on under the hood. Looks nice overall. Hasn't been passed around like a poolhall ho.

Good to know! Thanks

2017 car, no doubt. 415HP (Euro) & 6SPD auto.

Don't get me wrong, It's a nice looking ride! With a couple of minor tweaks I'd drive that in a heartbeat. Just get rid of the weird emblems

The model year issue figured out, it looks really clean so if you think the price is right, get it and enjoy it! Terrific cars.

Meh on the emblems and the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Love the color combo though and I like the wheels. Something different.
