I have a beautiful FF that seems like an ideal car for me. I quite like a V12 GT and I have a DB9 and a 456GT manual too. As said, the FF is ideal, so why do i keep looking at F12s? I keep hearing that the F12 is scary. I can spend winter evenings driving between Norfolk and London on wet, poorly lit roads, so I am obviously ‘having a moment’ that is not entirely logical.

Has anyone on here moved from a FF to a F12? I’d love to hear whether you regretted the move?
I don’t do track days.
Many thanks

PS I’m 57 with grown up children, so rear seats not really needed.

FF is very different to the 456. Both are beautifully made but the FF is a much better car. That said, I’m a petrol head and I quite enjoy the effort of “travelling in style”. We left the FF at home last summer to drive 3,000 miles through France and Spain. Logic would suggest taking the FF but the 456 was built for these trip, in a regime where saving costs for shareholders was not a priority.

The FF is a wonderful experience to drive and certainly ‘an event’ but sometimes it’s so capable that it doesn’t quite push all of my buttons, hence thinking about the F12. But on cold winters night it does excel.
