I find it curious that people are commenting about the HP arms race in a negative manner. Weren't we all complaining that the Ghibli was 100HP down on the Giulia a year ago and urging Maserati to do something about it?
On £200k being the price of an entry point Ferrari, don't forget that prior to the build up to the Brexit vote the GBP to Euro exchange rate was reasonably steady at 1.4 Euros to the pound. We are now looking at almost parity, its 1.07 or so. That's about a 25% increase in price so the price would have been in the £160k mark without the currency fluctuations.
Of course Portofino is where all of the Glitteratzi have their Italian Riviera houses and used to go for the sun. Now its full of tourists and wannabes. So maybe it fits. If you want a real Ferrari it'll cost you £300k, but we'll let you into the club with this cheaper one for £200k
Is that really a Ghibli Owner commenting on 'real' cars in the range :0
I haven't looked up the definition of irony in the dictionary for a while - but if i did...
)In return for your honesty- I will admit I was too harsh on the ghibli - RWC was right- I was ****** off and missing the Ferrari. I was comparing it to the wrong car. I still disagree with the diesel- but at the current price points , well specced petrol and S version would kick German competitors into touch as they are a little bit different. The leather and comfort are great. The infotainment and drivability isn't as good as the Germans but the point of difference is too good to ignore.
Just like I would take a GTs over any R8 any day- i would do the same with the ghibli vs a 5 series.
Still can't wait to get the 2+2 dropped off though. And it's sunny
I did do what I said I never would again - and couldn't resist adding a GTO style front grill and mini front plate. But it transforms the front end (cue Phil and big bob to take the ****
Sounds like you lot are all jealous that Ferrari seem to get new models everytime I have my bi annual bath where Maserati seem to do nothing new
But this being a front engined V8 should have been wearing a Trident! The original Cali should have been a Triden too, it doesn't fit the Ferrari format at all as it would have been a V12 upfront. I honestly despair and still see this as a Maser in drag
all i can say is - it's a good lucking drag queen who goes like the clappers and looks great with the top off !
Glad you think £185k is great VFM. Back in the real world on planet earth my bank account tells me otherwise
