Stole this from Pistonheads - June 27 (Bloomberg) -- A German businessman is suing Ferrari SpA because he claims his new sports car doesn't reach the top speed of 300 kilometers (180 miles) per hour advertised in the company's brochure, Bild Zeitung said, citing the man. The 60 year-old driver from Berlin, identified only as Joerg W., told the newspaper that his Ferrari Challenge Stradale car can't go faster than 282 kilometers per hour and he wants a refund. The man paid 168,115 euros ($204,427) for the vehicle and waited 18 months for it to be delivered, Bild reported. Ferrari, which is controlled by Fiat SpA and makes the Formula One racing car driven by Michael Schumacher, is refusing to give Joerg W. his money back, according to Bild. The dispute will now be decided by a local court.
Sounds like a pillock to me. But the goods are not fit for purpose if they don't do exactiy what it says on the tin...
Then had he bought the Testarossa (V12) he would have complained that it had the big BHP, but was slower than the 355(V8) , or had he bought the F50 (V12) that it had all the power but was slower than the F40(V8)
Arrrhh Steve wont argue with Chaa......... thats cos hes seen yr pics chaa... So STEVE has Chaa put the V8 vs V12 finally to bed Heee heee!!!
of course he thinks he has but everybody knows that 12 is better than 8 so sorry chaa dont care how big you are as i can run fast so you got it wrong chaa
Two things from this thread would be interesting: 1) Seeing Ferrari prove (or otherwise) that his CS will indeed do 180mph. 2) Seeing Stevef run fast.
