Once the most expensive road car available, today these are beyond cool. Unappreciated until encountered in the flesh, grab yourself the bargain of a lifetime.

aleventhal  757

Marronne is the best color for this car, bar none. I used one of these as a daily driver / winter beater for years – mine was #049773, in the same colors. Commuted in and out of NYC in it, with 4 Blizzaks on 328 wheels for the winter. Put nearly 100k miles on it, burned a ton of oil, but needed basically no maintenance outside of filter changes (since the oil was basically self changing), and never left me stranded. I’ve since switched to Bentley for my dailies, can’t live without cruise control as I get older, but these are great cars, and used one every day for years. AMA.

See my blog:

And if you check if Ferrari has updated their pages you willl find out they ignored my email attempts. Oh well.

As for Clarkson, see my blog:

As for automatic vs gearbox performance, see my blog:
