Well it's not going to be **** is it!?

Would love to see one in the flesh, it's stunning for sure. Should be for that amount of loot! For half the price I'd get a fairly new 599 and a house in Tuscany with the change.

Ferrari have really lost it, so over styled and fussy. Why cant they design clean and simple yet effective looking cars again.

 

[BennyD]

IMO, its because people who spend a quarter of a million on a car want to stand out and it's easier to do so with an over styled and fussy design than it is with a plain and simple one.

Saw and heard one when I was at the Ferrari factory............It is stunning............If I had the money it would be to of my list......The one review says it's more of a successor to the 550/575 than the 599 every was..........Love the way it looks and sounds................

Maybe this video will impress more than the still photos:

There is also a prmotional video of Alonso and Massa taking one each out on the track.
It is the first time I have seen Alonso with such a huge smile on his face.
I wonder if those kinds of road cars give them a buzz when they are used to driving F1's?

Great links Andy and Scarlan.

Amazing sound and performance stats.

Does it sound just a bit crazy saying, would rather the Granturismo MC Shift over this?

I know they're two entirely different cars but the Maser styling of the Granturismo just ticks every single box for me personally.

And it still sounds bloody amazing, if admittedly not as quick.

IMHO, Always been a touch of "garish" about some, but not all Ferraris.

 

[Mr.Cambio]

I know i am rude but i hate her appearance..Love the mechanics though.

If money was no object then the Ferrari......Seeing it in the flesh did it for me....

 

[Andyk]

Fair enough Andy.

Must admit, I haven't been lucky enough to see the F12 here in Oz. Not sure if any actually exist downunder.

Have driven and heard the Granturismo S though. Bloody amazing.

 

[Andyk]

The GT S sounds bloody lovely....When I heard Matts start up when we went on the track day I went weak at the knees...Maserati have got the sound just right on the car........

100%! I was talking to a friend who lives near me the other day: he knows if I'm out and about in the GTS because he can hear me... When I've been loitering at the Lancaster service centre in Colchester, with Ferraris and Betleys and Masers coming and going, it's the Maser V8s which make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Joyful and perfect.

Ferrari is one of the best sports car in the whole world and no other company will compete with it. If you compare it with other cars, then nobody will run as fast as Ferrari. It has some nice features and design is so cool and better than others.

That's it, I never wanted a car until I saw and heard the GT.
