    Definitely not GS and almost looks like a Matt Titanio. I have had F cars in all silvers but would love this whatever it is.

    Looks like matte/satin silver. I can't recall the official name for it.

    It is what I have and it is a really amazing color for the F12.

    One wonders how this car got to be a "$440,000 rear-wheel-drive Italian."

    BTW I have noticed that photos of the F12 create the impression that it is larger than it really is when you see it up close and personal.

    ^Would be nice to see a price sticker break-down.

    Other than that, definitely a great review, seems to echo what others have said regarding the F12. Their weight seems more in line with what we were lead to expect it would be, I wonder if that was their measured weight, or if it was at least measured from a US-spec car. Really makes me wonder about the crazy-high curb weights I've seen listed for the F12 in other road tests.

    Yes it does, but it's not!

    Bizarre what happend to f12 tests in the US, especially motor trend? Autocar recorder 0-60 in 3 sec and to 100 in a little over 6 comparing it to a Bugatti Super sports so so something is up with US spec cars?

    Heard they're heavier, but not sure how much heavier they could possibly be.

    Article says "ESC off, sport, comfort, wet and ice-snow".

    In my Germany Delivery car it is "ESC off, CT off, race, sport, wet".

    Is the Article wrong or is this US spec?

    Article contradicts itself, because he also mentions toying between race and sport modes.
    In US we have the same settings with Race and Sport.

    Grigio Titanio is one of the finest colors for showing off curves and design elements, the light just reflects off so many angles it is mesmerizing.

    I also think he must have been wrong about the $440K price, because in the pictures I don't see a lot of CF options, which are the main options that drive price up pretty quickly.

    Mine has a lot of CF, many other options and came in over $400K....:)
