    Verdict

    Final thoughts and pick of the range

    A ruddy triumph. You just have to celebrate that someone, somewhere still thinks it’s worth engineering and developing a car like this. A car unlike any other.
    One day, when we’re all driving electric cars, museums will want to put a single example of the internal combustion engine on display. So we can look back and remember. It should be this one. This pounding, thrashing, soaring, triumphant 6.5-litre V12 is as far from the electric motor as it is possible to get. Forget museums, a place in heaven should be reserved for this engine. It deserves to sit on high with God the father.

    Chris Harris, when he first drove the 812 Superfast wrote, “no-one else makes a car like this”. They really don’t. The engine is at the core of that, but the rest of the car… well it’s perhaps the proudest machine I’ve ever driven, a rolling national anthem to everything that makes Italy great. It’s up there with the Renaissance and pizza.

    Seen in those terms, it’s hard to consider value for money, while flaws vanish into the background. Instead you experience the car, realise what a ruddy triumph it is and just have to celebrate that someone, somewhere still thinks it’s worth engineering and developing a car like this, a car unlike any other.
