    "The fastest road car I have driven..."-Chris Harris

    That says a lot coming from him especially!

    "The fastest street car I have driven.....I wouldn't even look at an Aventador compared to this!"

    I just watched this video. This is his best video ever, and the F12 is probably the best car money can buy.

    I just loved every second of it.

    Just love seeing all those plumes of smoke. Great to see the F12 in the hands of someone who can drive it hard.

    The F12 is bar none the absolute best car you can buy in the U.S. and will stay so until the Big 3 arrive here.....

    I would imagine both Harris and Ferrari realize how silly the ongoing 'feud' was and someone came to their senses to squash the whole matter. Smart PR is invaluable and having Harris slamming a Ferrari around the track and proclaiming its virtues is smart PR......even if Ferrari doesn't exactly need it or care about it (but you know they do).

    I saw the look on his face when he saw the LaFerrari and the 458 Speciale at the auto shows (He looked sad that he might not get a chance to get behind the wheel of both the new Ferraris).

    I bet he is happy to be in the fold. And I bet Ferrari is happy to have him back too.

    F12 looks great sideways don't it?

    For anyone who has not seen it, not only has he done the best F12 video, he also did the best 458 one..

    Just got an F12 today. Inspired timing with this video. Harris makes it all look so easy. Great review, and great car.

    Did you not see Ferrari gave him five sets, should he have saved them for the next guy?

    What an epic review, Chris Harris consistently delivers and drive has really stepped it up with their editing. Amazing.

    What fun. Probably got some additional press for having the fall out. I will get a chance to drive an F12 at COTA in about 6 weeks. I hope I don't have to have one. LOL.

    The camera view from the top rear of the Spider makes this video exceptionally vivid. You get an excellent sense of the track and can watch the driver work at the same time.

    As for Chris, he is the master of the lurid slide while holding a casual conversation. I love it.

    Agree. In fact i found the F12 video had too many edits for edits sake and less dynamic angles, although the uncut half screen lap towards the end of the video was cool.
