New EVO Comparison

Has anyone seen the new comparison of the 599 HGTE vs. DBS vs. Conti Supersports yet? It as always was a brilliant job by Chris Harris. It was interesting to see the approach to the big GT car in which he came.

I think the Ferrari still represents what a Ferrari should be, just that little bit more engaged and sweat making. Though I think that if I were in the position to own a 599 I would have the standard version, for the pure GT relaxed drive.

How insane was it to see a 5000lbs Bentley do such a huge lurid slide!!! No doubt it's 4wd aided it greatly on such a British day

What do you gentlemen think?

 

Here is the video for those who haven't seen it.

You can find find the whole review (with road impressions) on the March issue of EVO.

What do I think? I don't know. I have extensive experience driving with a "standard" 599 and "standard" Conti GT but none of the cars in the video. I think that all three cars are stunning in their own right and that the 599 looks great in yellow!

I also think that Chris Harris is always very entertaining both in his videos and his writings. A great addition to EVO IMO.

 

Thanks for the links Carlo

I sometimes (well ... often) envy Chris' job. (and he is good at it).

 

great video, thanks!

 

Just watched with my morning coffee. Thank you!
