    The comfort seats are the better choice if one intends to drive the car!

    If one decides to race the car then choose the lighter more uncomfortable seats and be prepared to finish in the middle to
    the end of the pack, because the 12C isn't fast.

    Believe it or not the V6 turbo hybrid is the fast package.

    Le Mans and even the green hell with Verstappen, prove that.

    There is one coming up for auction on CollectingCars.com soon. I am considering it because it looks pristine with super low miles and has the HGTE package as well.

    Wow! That guy in the red hat is impressive- holding up that beige 12C behind his back like it’s made of cardboard!

    Actually suits the spider quite nicely.

    FWIW, I think those are the upgraded optional Matt Grigio Corsa rims (option code RMSC for $2,607). The standard rims are much lighter.

    You are correct those are the matte Grigio option. The spider with the stripe has the standard bright wheel.

    Usually the forged rims are not just stronger but lighter.

    What got my attention was that one could not option the titanium lugs with the standard rims, only with the forged rims.

    The forged rims look like they have more metal due to their unique design which require more cross bracing for each spoke.

    So here is another decision where design style comes at the expense of race functionality.

    Of course it’s a small loss since the car is not a race car but a GT.

    The forged rim option for the new 839 have a similar style. But they are more interesting design (my personal opinion) and perhaps a bit lighter as the design doesn’t need all the cross bracing.

    I have a Spyder coming in Verde Tascana. I went down to Palm Beach and drove their coupe in that color. Seeing it setting among their other cars, and there were a lot there, I was convinced my choice was correct. It is something special.
