Next stablemate for the Pista

Please, let's not deviate the nice thread. No need to come back with the same punch.

I am not a Lamborghini or McLaren fan. Certainly, they have their place and they are great at what they do. I also smile when I see any of them. I am not certain that I would precisely call them inferior brand. I think it is just a matter of liking and perhaps, that is what he referred to. Any car brand may have their own shortcomings to individual personalities. No car is perfect. We have talked about that. Certain brands may be better than others and become as close to perfect to certain individuals and not to others, and vice versa.

 

For me there is no debate on this. Ferrari is a better brand - I have four currently in garage and several on order. But that is all my personal preference.

McLaren and Lambo are not something I can discuss - Lambo and McLaren are beautiful cars, but I did not think the OP was considering them.

Again, sorry for offending anyone. Was not my intent. I sincerely want the OP to buy an 812 SuperFast. I thought his choice came down to only the 812 or the Stradale. I really think he will love the 812, especially because an 812 SuperFast is the perfect garage partner for a Pista.

 

I sold the 812 after six months. Lost around $40k. I find the base F12 more exciting. The TdF? Incredible!

In your new showcase, alongside the Pista, I would replace the 720 with the fantastic 765. Since you then have the two best mid engine 8’s, then add a TdF. It’s more proven than the SF90, a known quantity, different engine placement, larger, and still very exciting and showcase worthy.

if you insist against the great TdF, I think a convertible gives you a nice alternative. Add the 812 GTS.

 

Would and have. Mind you, my F12 is a beautiful spec 70th anniversary model based on the Testa Rossa.

(The 720 I sold in six months but I Love the 765!)

 

I disagree... Lambo is a fair competitor. An AvSV or SVJ is just a very different V12 vs the 812. Different driving experience, different presence. Both respectable.

I agree, the Perf is a phenomenal car. It felt a bit like an electrical toy to me. I was very close to an SVJ. Instead I traded Perf for Speciale then traded Speciale for TDF.
Love my wife as well!

I am with you on that. I like Ferraris and Porsche more than any other brand. I would laos take the 812 or preferably the F12 TDF over any other selection. But that is just me. We are allowed to look elsewhere, to expand horizons at the risk of making a mistake. Something good will come out of it. We will learn.

Just like you, I wouldn't own a McLaren or a Lamborghini, but not because they are inferior but because they don't represent me. I feel I would not be a good fit for them and not the other way around. The cars and their brand are obviously great, otherwise they would not still be here in this high end market where the prospective buyers have very high standards, taste and means to acquire them. Believe me, no car would exist in this particular tax bracket, if they didn't meet the requirements and expectations. Inferior is not the right word. It is just a matter of taste/fit/preferences/expectations.

 

OH MY GOD, SAM!!!!! This is absolutely stunning!!!! God bless you, wife and property. This is a real beauty. Love the interior garage/showroom. great architecture and design!

 

Another one agrees with me!!!! That is three of us... Sam, you listening!!!!

 

Regular F12 vs 812... Because of updated technology and 4WS, I would go 812 SF. If you throw TDF in the mix... You already know what I, Edward and now @Twosherpaz will say.

 

Sir Edward... You are on shaky grounds... you sold a CGT!!!!! If it wasn't for that Bianco Italia with Italian Tircolore F12... We wouldn't be talking... LOL

 

Absolutely... It must be terrible looking down and seeing a 720S, Pista, and another 7 prospective beautiful cars... I feel your pain.

 

How much longer for completion?

 

What about the place here?

 

It must be for sure!!


May the Horse be with you

 

LOL. I thought it was already built. Or is it and you are remodeling? It can be a vacation home and you can also live in it for the time being.

Well, if you sell before it is finished, if you already listed and with that timeframe margin, you likely will. You can always rent something for a little while and store the cars in a nice garage

 

Now we are talking!!

It is the perfect car to stable up with the Pista.

V12 , long legs, noise from the Gods, touring capability, the ultimate date night car!!

C’mon!!!
