There's one in that colour in our village. Not met the owner yet but I'd like to to ask him about it...I think they are fantastic cars and with two young car mad sons one would make a great family car for us if I had the available cash (I expect more cash needed for petrol and maintenance than to buy it initially!) They are meant to be a very good drive as well and that V12 🤪😍

Very nice cars. Always liked the previous FF, and F12 too.

However, having watched Jayemm’s videos on his Ferrari’s and/or ones he’s looked at, (the FF video is excellent viewing) they do seam very brittle.

You’d be a very brave person to buy and run one of these without a watertight warranty.

Agreed. It’ll remain a pipe dream. ;)

Why I’ve always been a Porsche ‘fan boy’ is because I see them as a realistic daily driver & relatively robust marque among iconic sports cars. 8-)

I’ll bet that there are relatively huge numbers of Porsche (sports cars) daily drivers compared to Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis etc. :)

Great car for popping to Verbier for a long winter weekend I guess (for those who live that lifestyle), but the thought of trying to see when to exit a difficult junction on to a busy road in one of these gives me the fear. And per Iva's point, they can be ruinously expensive!

Indeed. I treat mine exactly like my 435d I had a few years back - to and from work, supermarket run, and everything else - it’s just the daily car and works brilliantly 👍

Agreed. It’s a bit like when I see a gorgeous E-Type. Look stunning and love the idea of one, but living with one as a daily might be a different matter! ;)

I watched Chris Harris’ video review of the GTC4 Lusso. He loved it, and mentioned that he used to own an FF. I think he said he did about 7k miles in it. He said that the GTC4 Lusso was a much improved car, compared to the FF.

Yep, I agree that a Porsche is a safer bet. ;)
