Well....I suspect I need to run drugs...rather than tourists...to afford an F12 and still keep wife.

For now, this is all I can afford............

(at least I can still change the oil/plugs/pads/etc. it's the last pre-computerised model

)

Link is here

Absolutely stunning. WOW!

I wonder if the gent driving the car made it to work on time.

Just love how angry the engine sounds at 1:40-1:45.

Love it Peter!
Thanks....would never have known the F111 was replaced by a car?

Ah just kiddink
8.5 sec to 100 kmph....I thought that was a bit mmmmm slow.....then I re wound the VCR and ....8.5 sec to 200kmph

Not an expert here.... I DO like this ve-hicle, ....but, it seems a bit corvette-ish to me. When I cover the front 3/4 of the car I can see a Ferrari tail end, When I cover the rear 3/4 , I see Ferrari front end....but mmm

over all .....

It's not an attractive looking car is it. Nothing on some of the previous models.

I reckon it looks more like a kit car than a Ferrari should. Probably goes ok though.

Cheers,
Jason.

Each to his own. While I did put new wheels on it, I like the Pininfarina lines on the 348 and it's stable-mate the F355.

It certainly beats my old Morris 1100s in the glamor department

koputai (Jason) · #9 09-03-2012, 02:15 PM

Yep, Pininfarina usually design beautifully, I like a lot of their stuff, but this thing just doesn't have it. I'll wait until the next one!

Cheers,
Jason.

Great engine noise and beautiful lines. The front grille is a bit odd though and looks like a deep fryer but it must be functional I guess.

blink138 (Pat) · #11 09-03-2012, 02:52 PM

it looks too "americana"

DavidU (Dave) · #12 09-03-2012, 02:54 PM

I'd have one ! Lovely........

Waxing_Gibbous (Peter) · #13 09-03-2012, 03:20 PM

Well... I wouldn't kick it out of bed for leaking oil, but it looks a bit too much like a Hyundai Coupe for me.

I'd rather have a Daytona.

Paul Haese · #14 09-03-2012, 04:14 PM

Think if I had the choice I would go with a Mercedes Mclaren SLR.

gregbradley · #15 09-03-2012, 04:27 PM

Sensational video and love the cinemaphotography. Ferrari's have a distinctly barking angry engine note that is very appealling.

This Ferrari looks a lot like an Aston Martin. A guy who lives near me has the hand made Aston Martin V12 and its sensational but its a grey colour

I grew out of exotic cars 35 years ago. I have better things to spend my money on these days.

Thanks Peter,

Now I know what I want for my next birthday. Has to be the cabriolet model though. And red! Must be red. A Ferrari aint a Ferrari unless its red.
Turbo-charged? Hmmm.

Cheers
