and it was just quick beyond belief, the finish was superb and the whole driving experience was better than i had imagined.

Pressing the red starter button and hearing the bark of the exhgausts as it caught is just something else!

I am not a small bloke at 6' and nearly 18 stone but i found it comfortable and not to cramped, it was a bit clausrophobic pulling down the door but once inside you forget about it.

I warmed it up the prodded the gas on a longish straight, at 4K there was the most glorious sound as it came on boost and it took off like it had been shout out of a gun. Flicked the paddle into second still on boost the tyres chirpped and again it just went and went, same into third and at that point i burst out laughing with a mixture of nerves and adrenilin rush. covered around 3-4 miles (sadly) not to many twisties but just the way it drive cornered and barked was something else. Npot something i wil forget in a hurry.

The paddle shift was easy to use and felt instant. Reverse was easaly, no levers just into first, pull back on both paddles into neutral then a small alloy button on the bottom left of the steering wheel (foot on brake as well). It is (or at least felt) a wide car which took some getting used to!

It's gonna take a week or so to get the grin of my face!

Piccies to follow once Rik gets them off his digi!

lucky git!

but to be picky u say comes on boost as its turbocharged, which it ain't! u mean it comes on cam/?

Chris L

Lucky git

A mate of mine is due to drive the new Bugatti Veyron for the magazine he owns. I hate him too

Chris

dpb

maybe the ultimate supercar , but, along with the slk would you really want to drive one o these around

The Zohan

Phil, it felt like on boost! yes, on cam (doh) the punch as in goes on cam feels like as a BIG turbo on boost, the exhaust note changes and it just flies, i do not even know how big the engine is, you can see so much of it under the persex cover although the edges of the cover are a mesh to let heat (and noise) out is suppose. I am not a Ferrari anorak but i do apperciate a great car.

I did however call a mate who is a Fwerrari nut and casually asked him;
" have you ever heard an Enzo start up?"
He replied "no!?!"
I said "well here ya go then" and held the phone out of the cabin with the door open as i pressed the button!
He replied with some choice words and implied i did not know who my father is/was.

Phil M

ah okay.. i'm not really into ferraris, would have a zonda over an enzo and a db9 over a 360 etc but ur still a lucky *******.. is that wat ur mate said?

billythekid

I am a Ferrari nut and I hate you now, its just not fair!
