    Undoubtedly correct but even with the twin clutch transmission, its an amazing car to drive.

    It WAS a joke Rennie BUT if I were cashed up I'd have been a starter at a proper manual,the same can be said of the Alfa 4C or the BMW 135M or any other host of performance cars that are now in Nanny/Steveland :)

    One of my aspirational cars, but I'm done buying Italian front-engined V12 automatics from Perth. A Series III manual however...

    So an Automatic espada in RHD is quite a catch, regardless of the harrowing fuel consumption
    They are fabulous John, you’d be a lucky man to have one in the shed

    Interesting insight into, Travel with COVID into and out of Europe from the UK, and the devastation of the floods in a part of Italy.

    FFS Adrian, you've clearly never driven an Espada. They're only fabulous when the next owner is driving it away.

    It’s a little like having a cigar smoker tell you, “I’d offer you one but I really don’t think you’ll like them, best not bother ”
    I’m sure they’re a pain in the arse but given the opportunity I’d love to drive one,
    just for Fun.

    I'm reeeeeeeeeally sorry Adrian but if you're looking at an auto 'exotic' car you're missing the point and should probably stick with a V8 Fordadore.

    The Emira is nearly 1/3 the cost of the F8 Tributo in the UK (using base price of £203,000 for F8).

    It will be interesting to compare the Australian pricing differential between the two cars when it finally gets here.
