    Depends of what you like...
    Too powerful for the road , too heavy for the track , too marketing for purist... and with noise but not sound for all the members
    The perfect marketing car...

    That’s the perfect comment right here! It’s exactly what I think this car will be.
    I’m afraid that this car will be like a Nissan GT-R, great grip, great performance and even great track times but you have to wrestle it, like driving a big whale.

    A bit like my friend that has bought the next la Ferrari and he couldn’t be more uninterested in it...

    This is why cars are such a great topic... we all have different opinions on them! I loved my GT-R and consider it one of the all time driving greats

    Really George? The gtr?? I wasn’t expecting that. But yes cars are great, and I will buy a 1000 plus hybrid one day!
    For now I’m going to start investing more in track driving so a lighter gt3 rs is just the thing.

    Maybe it will be like a big whale with an extra wide seat for big whales....hence the need for all that torque to shift all the weight. It may not need to ever go around a corner, least of all fast.....bit like you see now with a lot of cars that just spend time at a drag strip to prove a point.

    Totally agree but for you it doesn’t matter, you have a Pista and all the RS’s!
    It doesn’t get better than that! Sure with these hybrids you will go much faster, great, but fun?
    Well-done for the great taste in cars!

    Thanks. And yr right. The current line up once all in the stable will be King for me. Pista still due June/July and looking forward to experiencing it. With the driving i'm doing I need to share the mileage around with the rs's given these may sadly be the last of their kind, We are living in a great time with these choices and I think BB will be amazing still, but as these cars become more and more expensive the have a tendency to become too precious to take out and get DIRTY!!...for some.

    That is so weird given that the LaFerrari is more agile-nimble than a Speciale, but with 60% more power!!!

    Whatever makes people think that a Pista/GT2 RS will be able to hold a candle to the BB, a car that will be build to even more extreme standards, is beyond me...

    I'm still waiting for a car that can knock a GT Porsche consistently of its perch so lets hope BB does it! But as mentioned the price may restrict certain usage for many.

    Objectively or subjectively speaking?


    That surprised me too...

    Whichever you like. I like em all. But I have to be honest with myself the gt cars are a tough act....and I really love my Ferrari! I think I'm always gonna need a Ferrari....and Gt cars. The rest I'm not so sure about.

    A select few can. Actually they book nothing, Ferrari just asks if you want it and you say yes or no. Since all the highest tier clients say yes for regular customers it’s only a dream (or second hand).

    Subjectively, so far the Pista has shown itself to be quicker round most tracks. Objectively, a driver likes what a driver likes.

    When was the last time that a Ferrari wasn't "fun to drive"? :)

    Just make it 1980kg and the recipe is ruined does t matter if it has 3000hp.
    Any pilot will tell you that a car needs to have 1200kg tops! We are soooo far from that number....
    I hope Mclaren with the war on weight will show other super car makers that it’s possible and the way to go.
