F12 & 918 driven hard on the Stelvio Pass.

Snow and top off.

I thought I was the only idiot who does that.

 

Love it. Just love it!

Great to see you letting those gears extend to the limiter; rather rare to see footage of it these days!

 

Looks like fun!

 

Great video, thanks!

 

Wow. Do you have more pictures??!

 

The F12 is a beast!!!

It must be frustrating to be stuck behind such a slow car!

 

Thanks for posting this neat vid.

 

i was driving from Munich to Milan in June this year(in the worst car i ever rented-very sad) there was a detour it was very dark and no GPS, it was "Road 13" looked like the pic with more than 10 switchbacks like in the picture posted. Was a wonderful road.


i have looked on Google Maps for that road and cant seem to find it. Seeing this wonderful thread leads me to the quest does anyone know where it might be????????


We went thru Switzerland then south to Milan. It was very dark and no traffic. Was one of the finest roads I have driven on(for fun).

While driving on the switchbacks I was thinking about all the wonderful cars I have owned and which car would have ben the most enjoyable. #1 would have been the Lotus Elise #2 360 Stradale. #3 was a tie among many many cars. The Lotus and Stradale were my favorite 2 cars to drive on roads like that.

Next Summer I'm shipping the F12 to Europe and spending the summer wearing it out. I was in Europe 3 1/2 months this summer, since 06 i have been in Europe 2 months a year or longer. Without a car, now that my health is ok, i want to go with a car i own and take a proper tour of Europe.

if anyone has any suggestions on routes roads, meeting up. That will be great. I know i am in Monaco end of August, otherwise I can be anywhere any time.

Wonderful pics and thread, sorry to go a little off track with this post, it seemed like the best time to ask instead of a new thread, since this one is spot on!!

kindest regards

Col de turini near monaco, i will be there with my gto or maybe something else

 

Though the F12 is no slouch, to say the least, it did look like the 918 pulled away at will coming out of bends.

 

887 hp
900 ft-lb

quick, but not as cool

Plus he was being polite ... and safe

 

I had the same feeling, specially cause of the 4WD and cause the direct enemy of the 918 is NOT the F12

 

Great video and great sound track!

 

Very nice

 

Fantastic video and pictures- thank you for sharing.

 

Just awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. Can't wait for my F12 to arrive!!

 

As the passenger in the video I would agree. However the F12 more than kept up in most other sections

Also to add the F12 driver is extremely competent

 

Phenomenal. Thanks!
