Ok a thread with a difference, may not last long but hopefully result in som interesting information. Some supercars i know of have luggage packs etc such as the Mclaren F1 has the option of a luggage pack but also a golf set which fits into a compartment in the vehicle, the F50 has a luggage set but also I'm sure drivers were given a set of driving boots upon their purchase. Supercars i know of which included these goodies/extras are as follows: Mclaren F1 F50 Enzo Carrera GT Uncertain as to the following: Veyron Porsche GT1 (doubt it) XJ220 Saleen S7 Ford GT I have the following questions: Has anyone got pictures of the goodies offered with any of the said cars above? What did they cost or did some strange phenomenon occur whereby the owner received something free after spending hundreds of thousands of pounds? What offer seems to be the best? Does it tie in with the best car as listed above i.e. golf set/mclaren Kind regards Matthew
I covered all of the extra's with photo's of the relevant F50 bits. The thread was in this section under F50 Tubi fitment a while back.
I know the the S7 your flown out to CA put up in the ritz for fitting of the seat to you (controls etc) also they take you out on the track with the factory S7 with an instructor
With the F1, all the luggage was included in the purchase price, including the golf bag Just to clarify the point I tried making in the other thread - the golf bag just sits on the passenger seat when being transported. There's no special compartment for it. There are compartments on each side of the car for the other luggage, but the golf bag would not fit in those. Back on topic - There's an excellent thread in the Australia forum put together by 360C that shows all the items included with the F50 with photos and descriptions. I'm sure someone can find it for you. >8^) ER
here ya go...great read if you have the time... http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127114&page=9
Perfect guys, I'll dig through the F50 thread and get some pics up here. Erik, do you have any pics of the F1 luggage pack and golf set? Anyone got pics of the Enzo extras? Be good to compare them all as we have the info on the Saleen S7 as above, two soft cases PLUS tailoring of seat and driving experience in factory car. Regards, Matthew
F50 pack, i presume all included with the car? How does it compare to the Enzo then?

Here's a picture of the luggage. http://www.europeancarweb.com/features/0410ec_pagani_zonda_c12_s/ There's a clip on youtube where Tiff Needell tests the C12 S, they show the luggage and shoes.
Found a pic of the Veyron trunk. Couldn't find anything about any luggage though. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here are the best pictures I could find of the Zonda shoes, they are made by Peron & Peron and are apparently not photographed very often! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Every Enzo automatically came with the satisfaction that the owner had just purchased the most beautiful and amazing car the world has ever known.
I've just had delivered a Schedoni luggage set for my F40 - I'll take some photos when I get round to it!! They make a set for the 288 GTO too. The Porsche Carrera GT comes with a soft bag for the front compartment (which will fit under the roof panels), a small bag for behind the centre console, a briefcase, and a pair of little sacs for stuffing in the "secret compartments" in the doors! The toolkit and puncture repair kit are beautifully positioned on either side of the engine compartment. It's just a shame that the car is so badly flawed by its clutch! The Ford GT does not come with any luggage or extras - just a cover and a puncture repair kit, although the cabin is big enough for a golf bag and your caddy on the passenger seat!
Some other bits and pieces that originally came with all F50's. 1) Certificate of origin 2 and 3) Carbon fibre cover brochure 4) Books and manuals 5,6 & 7) Presentation Box of the individual car in production. Box has S/N Plaque identifying the car. 8 & 9) Press pack. There is also a car cover and hand torch for the cabin which I have not photographed.

If you have ever driven a CGT you would understand, with clarity, that the only flaw regarding a CGT clutch, is the driver's lack of ability. I think it is marvelous and allows the engine to engage almost instantaneously after a gearchange. It's a pity that this rumor of a poor clutch continues to be perpetuated by people with no actual driving experience in a CGT. If you have driven a CGT and still think the clutch is flawed I would suggest some driving lessons at a reputable driving school.
I'm somewhat of a casual observer, but if I am reading things correctly around here, the user RTB has a beautiful blue Ferrari FXX in his garage. I suspect he probably has had some seat time in a CGT. For reference: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=136053791&postcount=43 I know someone else who has a CGT and has no complaints on the clutch operation. Opinions will differ I guess... >8^) ER
I think that last line made my day! I think it is really funny that you think that Mr.Bryan (RTB) needs driving lessons But back on the subject, is the Schedoni luggage set for your F40 look like this or is it another company? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sorry on the delay - these images are really the only decent shots showing the luggage set with the golf bag. Clubs were not included, so I'd hesitate to call it a 'golf set'. >8^) ER Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I stand by my statement. Any driver who thinks the CGT clutch is bad, needs driving lessons. The F40 and F50 (and the 288GTO as well) have soft progressive clutches that don't require any real skill in modulating, but their gearchanges are also a lot slower than than the CGT. The beauty of the CGT is the efficiency of the clutch along with the superb ergonomics of the placement of the shifter, right where you want it, inches from the steering wheel. Shifting in the CGT is one of the great pleasures in driving for the many on Fchat who profess to prefer stick shift to paddle shift. BTW the leather briefcase that came with the CGT, with gear lever top matching wood handle is a really beautiful piece of luggage.
