A big point in "Penelope's" favour is that she only weighs about 1500kgs soaking wet. Its a pre-bloater Porsche and not much bigger than a Corolla. Also the FT all-wheel drive helps lay down the power very efficiently.
However its still very roadable. Hates traffic, but doesn't whinge at being driven a legal speeds.
My last experience with a "Marenello Mule" - a 360 - was not a happy one. It handled poorly (when compared to other 360s) and power delivery was 'erratic' - it would cough and wheeze splutter and die mid-corner and just lag on the straight. Several trips to the dealer plus intervention from Ferrari themselves failed to improve it much.
To be fair, it never caught fire, but nor has my Subaru!.
I sold it to a real-estate agent!
