    It's seems orgasmic from her point of view ! Great vidéo thanks ;)
    Of course you have to be skilled to master 740 hp on rear wheels without any driving help...

    I don't care because I love it and I want it so baaaad !

    Keep dreaming little boy, keep dreaming haha !

    It's probably true of any car in the world.

    The car feels very much like a 458 only with 200 more HP.

    "Only" he said while smiling..... :)

    I think you don't really have to drive the car to its maximum to enjoy it. It would just be great (at least for me) to be able to drive it.

    I couldn't get the Gorilla Vid to work. Just a zillion commercials. Try the YouTube video instead.

    Vicki Butler-Henderson is my favourite reviewer! I must say, however, I don't agree that the Aventador is a "grand tourer" just because it has all wheel drive! It's mid-engined and very exotic looking to the F12's front engine, rear drive classy, yet modern styling. That said, I'd take the F12 over the Aventador every time.

    I've been watching her for years and I never saw the fascination with her "reporting" style.

    The car though... cool! :)

    If you drive any of your Ferraris w traction control on, it's safe to say any model would be beyond your taming, not just the F12.

    The review it's self was good I think, very thorough in what the car is like not just from the performance aspect which is what Top Gear do most of the time. However I'm just not a fan of VBH, her laugh really irritates me and she seems to use a few too many cliches as well. Would have preferred it if Jason Plato did the review to give the car a proper trashing from a touring car driver.

    VBH is certainly enthusiastic. What I am not sure about is her comment about the Aventador..."more of a tourer with its 4WD", ??? Funny Aventador and "tourer" are used in the same sentence.

    Not be off subject but I always felt you could have a car review from Elton John and it would seem pretty much the same. :)

    First F12 I have seen with shields.

    Faster than a 599 GTO and "it's a race car."

    Thought her 458 spider video was better. More orgasmic. :cool:

    She did a great job reviewing but her comment(s) about the Aventador seem a bit off, F12 is much more of a GT.

    Yes but her breasts are slightly larger than Elton's, then again he has gained quite a bit of weight over the years.
