    Interesting design exercise but for what purpose?
    Is it supposed to be a 4 wheel motorcycle alternative?
    Helmet necessary but no need for the leathers?
    I suspect 99% of them will end up as static display only.

    I adore it. The most sensual Ferrari in god knows how long. Lucky European who can drive it on the road.

    I bet a lot of American owners will drive it on the road also, what's a little ticket when you can afford this rolling piece of art. They plan a coupe version I understand. It looks like a windshield conversion would fit in the dash line cutout. The Roma and Maser Alfieri are also wonderful looking cars. The Italians are back.

    Gorgeous car, much better to drive then Daytona and severely underrated and undervalued, IMO.

    Time for you to make a trade before the tax laws change? I posted in another thread about that car, that it is 80% of the Daytona’s performance for 1/3 of the price and so much more user friendly. My dad was torn between the GT 2+2 and the C4. Happy with the Queen, but the C4 is IMHO the perfect mix of classic v12 and “modern driving.”

    I stopped into LFSC this afternoon on the way home from work, great folks, always have a nice visit

    Amazing current inventory

    The all CF Koenigsegg was something (they had 3 eggs that I saw)

    The SP2 is very cool. I hadn't realized it wasn't street legal, serial # but no vin #

    They started taking orders on Roma today

    They are not expecting Roma spyders to be part of life cycle management

    They have a lot of orders for SF90 and gave me the impression that SP90 spyders are possible based on how much room is above the ICE

    I was kind of amazed at how many 812s they had around

    The 365 was quite nice

    They had a couple of Portofinos without shields (yay)

    They had a great looking Enzo as well

    Thanks for the pic

    That was the Enzo I was referring to from my visit there yesterday

    Did you go into the service area? The car I kept staring at was a matte black 488 with saddle interior (menacing)

    That's the most restrained Bugatti I've seen.

    I remember the first one I ever saw, it was in London driving five miles per hour around Berkeley Square. All I could think of was, what a waste...
