Thanks for the Monroney. Very early OTO.
Given that it was air freighted, my question was whether it was the first one on US soil. Although there were a few demonstrators pretty early-- no chance your car was one of those?
Could be. A title search indicates the first title was issued in Ohio on 22 October 2008. The car was airfreighted to CA in April or May of 2008. I brought to AL in January of 2018.
All OTOs were required to have an end customer order behind them-- dealers were not supposed to order them for inventory. So I wonder if the first owner backed out? That happened a fair amount in that time period... Or it could have been one of the demonstrators.
Yes lots of owners backed out due to financial crisis. Mine was on the floor because of this and I got 35k off if I remember correctly
Back to the original thread: I think the OTO-HGT2 is the best road car EVER! I have not driven one without the HGT2 so I can't comment on that. If the serial number is higher than 160338, it's an OTO.
I live in Scottsdale and stopped by just to look at the car because it's so rare to see an OTO. It's a stunning car! My OTO is Grigio over Cuoio but after seeing the bianco over cuoio in person, I fell in love...What a beauty. Enjoy the heck out of it!! I love mine...other than the occasional sticky button and 'medicore' transmission (compared to a DCT anyway), they are awesome cars. So rare to see, plush and elegant...and that V12 sound...delicious! Good choice!

The 106.000 Usd is end price for american, so included 2,5% taxes and ro/ro transport ( other possible). best regards willem
And when you're done, it will be worth less (in the US) than a comparable original US-spec car. Better to sell in europe.
Practically, not that much difference between a transition 2008 and an OTO. Both have the updated F133H engine compared to the earlier F133F engine and both have faster F1 shifting. Just missing the 599 gearbox case, twin plate clutch, Superfast F1 software, Manettino, and glass roof.
Functionally, though, those transmission changes make a lot of difference in normal driving. Not just the speed of the shifting, but the smoothness as well.
Steve Maxwell does the service on my pre-oto 2008 and he hates the trans in the 599 and the oto cars. Feels that they do not hold up very well and he does way more work on those transmissions than the pre-oto transmissions.
Interesting, because I have only heard the opposite. Especially in regard to the durability of the clutch.
