a cool 860 Hp in a V12

Somehow I get the feeling that you'd look rather silly in this car if you have a waistline greater than 32 inches. LOL!

Yeah,as if anyone would be looking at the occupants of the car BTW, HP is over 1000, hence the "K" I think

K stands for KERS...Kinetic energy recovery system. Energy from braking is captured and stored in the battery system to add Boost to the hybrid electric motors when needed or desired. formula One cars use a KERS system.

I prefer the Porsche 918. That Ferrari split wing is strange looking.

I'm loosing interest in the new Ferraris. There is something "over the top" with their styling. The curves have gotten too aggressive almost knifelike. I'm with Peter. Give me a Porsche any day.

Seems that their market has gotten to be those who likes a little more "bling" FWIW I don't like the number "10" on the car whatever it means ...

Having tried to drive a 600 HP car, what level of driver's skills would be required to drive such a beast? You press the pedal on these monsters and you find yourself in a different Time Zone, 3 secs later

Here are a couple of photos of a V12 Ferrari that my father drove home in the early 1970's much to the shock of my mother. I think it is a 1966 330 GTC. He paid about $8,000 then and it is perhaps worth about $750,000 today. Sadly he sold it about four years after he bought it. It has considerably less "bling". Sorry, I can't seem to get the image to rotate.

All better now.

The only issue I see with this car is the rear wing...since it doesn't span the width of the car, it is pretty useless in the formation of rear end down force. $3 million + is another issue...lol

...and, the Bugatti Super Sport has 1200 horsepower with a top speed of 268MPH for the same price. Of course, a guy could always get both.

From looks standpoint, Bugatti is one of the ugliest supercars ever built. I'm sure the looks would grow in my if I owned one however...lol

Me three. The F355 remains my favorite modern F car by a mile. And the gated chrome shifter must be fun as hell!

The biggest poseur car out there.

Women love the Bugatti. Inside you feel like your in giant Hermes Birkin reference purse...

OMG...I wonder how that happened driving on a straight road. Maybe the driver fell asleep at the wheel ?
