I defy anyone to read the latest issue of Evo Magazine and not need this car. It seems to make the 599GTB irrelevant although there's still room for the old school 550.

There's really not much you 'need' if you start down that path. I want a shitload of things that I don't need. But yeah I agree, a Ferrari is a long way up on the extravagant list.

I met a church pastor once that had a Fez in the garage. Apparently god answered his calls of needing one which he stated was a reward for doing gods work... urm, more likely he just spent the money from his followers offerings.

I was taught that eternal life was reward enough for people like him and not worldly possessions.

Re: Ferrari 599 replacement - Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
No matter how much money I had I would never buy an exotic car. I'd be too afraid to take it anywhere and any enjoyment from driving would be taken away from worrying about people hitting it. Maybe as a track day car but I'm sure fun could be had at a much cheaper price.

If I had oodles of money I would have warehouses full of cars and I'd drive a different one every day - Leno style.

Re: Ferrari 599 replacement - Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
I could easily have a 10 car garage. If I had piles of cash (like the lucky bastards who won our £148m lottery rollover at the weekend), I'd build my own track to tank around on.

As nice as this car is I'd still take a 458.

Really? I reckon the F12 looks way better. The 458 to me always looked slightly awkward, even though a vast improvement on most of the recent Ferraris. To me they really nailed the F12, it's spot on. I'd also be surprised if the 458 was quicker.

Re: Ferrari 599 replacement - Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
F12 is indeed quicker than the 458. 730hp helps! My race cars need to be mid engined but for a road car a V12 in front of the driver is where it's at for me. Even better if they can make it front-mid so the weight distribution is all good.DexterPunk wrote:Really? I reckon the F12 looks way better.

I wish we had the UK's car depreciation here (but not their salty roads or insurance costs). A 15 year old 550 goes for $130k here. And they started $200k less than what the F12 does new. In the UK a same age 550 will be $50-60k. And that's a car that's held its value reasonably well.bengatta wrote: if you wait a few years you can pick one up second hand for bugger all....

A question to those better in the know than myself. Why do they have faster depreciation over their? Higher population? Being party of Europe itself? More cars flooding the market?
