    I have been looking for the right car for some time. I was just about to do a deal on a red car in Germany until I got a message from a friend of mine to say he was selling his. For me it was the absolute perfect spec. Stealth, stylish and just dead cool. Took me no time at all to do the deal and I picked the car up Monday.

    I have been used to my Italia and the biggest difference is the sheer size of the thing. It really does take a while to get used to the 7ft bonnet and girth of the monster. Living in London wiggling it through narrow streets and cars really has been a challenge but it's certainly making me a better driver.

    What this car is all about though is the noise and that engine. The cAr is a monster. So raw , so loud, so powerful. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the Speciale when it comes in a couple of weeks, however I think the GTO more raw and brutal in feel.

    With all that said hardly got the thing out of London so tomorrow I'm getting up early and going for a drive. 👍

    It is going in next week for a complete new sound system and nab and a few personal tweets to bring it to perfection.

    Very nice. Enjoy.

    Too bad you have to have the front license plate.

    (Have to admit, I would prefer it without the SF shields).

    There's nothing more beautiful than a Euro-spec GTO, with Scud seats and no orange crap.

    I usually don't like black Ferraris but that one is just THREATENING. Beauty.

    Quite spectacular and nice pictures to wake up to...I love the improved interior details like the center console from the 458 and the the white numbered tach.

    Beautiful spec, they should change the law that Ferraris do not need a front plate :)

    Outstanding looking GTO! I have 2 GTO's one in Bianco Italia and the other in Rosso Corsa. Your color combination is m ABSOLUTE favorite for the GTO. As you said it has a stealth and I believe a very menacing look in your color combination. Cheers to your new purchase and I firmly believe you will enjoy it far more than the 458 as I too previously had and am far more happier with the GTO's! For the record I enjoy the GTO's more than my F12 as well--which I feel is too refined for the Ferrari brand!

    Beautiful GTO. Great spec. Drive her in good health and take it slow when opening her up at first. Way less traction under full power than in 458. Will make for an incredibly challenging drive. Really need to warm up the tires particularly in cold weather. Be safe and welcome to the Club.

    Congratulations and welcome to the club. Great looking GTO you have. You will love this car as it is an amazing machine. Drive it often, hard and … with respect as she can be tricky when it's wet and cold.

    Have fun out there …
