    just reporting and my 612 is still going very strong and beautifully.
    not bad consider my always aggressive driving.
    hope i'll keep it another 8 years on the same clutch.

    Pictures of the clutch? ;) :p

    50% already and 18k miles only, that is indeed aggressive driving .... ;). Seriously, the clutch imho should last quite a bit longer if used rather carefully (most of the time).

    Cheers, Bernhard

    Again - remember that the % reading is NOT an actual clutch wear indication, but merely an "assumed wear" based on who knows what algorithm the Ferrari engineers made up out of thin air...

    Actually, it is based on the clutch position sensor reading and not something arcane like the CCM wear is.

    That must be some very, very aggressive driving!!

    I have 22k miles and 75% life remaining, and it's not babied, but I don't abuse the car...

    Glad things are going well.

    Seems like clutch life should be good, provided you don't put the car in reverse on hills too much. ;)
