    Mclaren 600LT drives the public nuts. Gas station stops are 15 min conversations. I guess Mclaren are lot rare to see. Rosso 488 get thumbs up but nothing like mclaren.

    I’ve had a Grigio Silverstone V12 Lusso, black wheels, carbon shields, for 1 year in central NJ. I’ve seen a few exotics in the area, eg bright blue 720S, yellow GT3, purple Lambo, yellow Gallardo (I think), so they’re uncommon but not rare. Once in a while a red mid-engine Ferrari. Porsches are everywhere, but my former Guards Red 991.2 GT3 got a few positive comments.

    No negative comments so far with the Lusso, though a few have wanted to race. When parked, the car has attracted positive attention, probably because of the oddity of a shooting brake Ferrari. Some already know what it is and love it, some ask what kind of car is it.

    Blu Scozia F8, no shields, gets looks. The car is still pretty new to me, and I haven’t parked it anywhere long enough to have people gather around it. We’ll see with more time.

    He's implying that a Ferrari that looks like a station wagon (Shooting brake) is odd, which is why it gets positive attention.

    Very common term for station wagon. Interesting origin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_brake

    I also have a Grigio Silverstone Lusso but am in North Jersey. It just blends in, never get looks good or bad. However, my Grigio Silverstone 458 always draws attention.

    Same. If it's old, cool, bonus if it's analog and especially if I haven't seen one in awhile, those make me stop.

    At a C&C I'll walk past a new $500k Rolls Royce Phantom to thoroughly ogle a $12K 100k-mile 40-year old Silver Ghost, lol.

    My last 4 cars were Maritime Blue 911S Convertible, Alfa 4C Spyder in red, Lambo Evo Spyder Rosso Mars and now white 458 Spyder. Lambo was over the top attention. Kids know it, and middle aged women engage you. Everyone loves the Lambos. 100% positive. But the 4C was the same. Very rare, tiny car. I once was at stop light in Manhattan and a bunch of school kids were crossing the street and they just surrounded the car in awe. Agree the Ferrari more muted, and an occasional middle finger. Agree with Rockstar versus Elitist characterization. Alfa 4C more like Lambo, although when I had it I considered it a baby Ferrari, was actually designed by the guy that designed some of the late model Ferraris. Looks similar to 458.

    Bought it a few months back as I was getting tired of everything new that does not give me that visceral raw feel that I'm looking for when going for a drive with one of my fun cars. Sure the my 458 and the Superleggera is somewhat raw and analog but this is on a whole other dimension when it comes to sound, feel, looks.
    Imported from UK and then refined to the best here in Sweden with Ferrari-parts.
    This one ticks all boxes when it comes to 100% satisfaction for all you senses.
    It sure was a lot of money for a replica but worth every penny. NF howere does not use the word replica but rather recreation :D
    Trying to attach the information sheet on the car and the modifications done and some pics

    Not at all, thanks man :)
    See you're located in Sweden so let's meet up as soon as they get rid if all the horrible dust and dirt from the roads. Planning road trips to both Germany (Berlin for some rave) and Norway with this car.
