Ok I reckon i could do the same for about 20k. it must be the ferrari badge that's upping the price.
I reckon you are right, given that the badges on the wings of a real ferrari are a couple of thousand pound option!

So that'll be in the same ball park as a mugen type r then? I know which I'd rather have!

Its gonna be for all the men with too much money buying it for their dolly mistresses, just to prove how much money they have
To be fair, if its 260bhp its gonna piss all over the mugen type r

Yeah, but to tune it to 260bhp will be getting on for £10k surely? So a £40k Fiat 500?

It does look funky though.

Wonder if it is an introduction for the multiair engine, or really just a runout model for the old version.
Also, I take it the paddleshift will be the duologic granny special gearbox, which on most cars seems to kill the 0-60.


Definately a halo model, probably a few upset people around with the previous 'Ferrari' 500 which was a really lame attempt at a premium special edition.

No problems with them making it or the people who buy them.

Next they'll build an indoor theme park in the tat capitol of the world.
Sorry? Abu Dhabi is now the 'tat capitol of the world'? That's news to me.

There's actually more tat to be found in a square inch of some parts of the UK, if you'd bothered to open your eyes.

No it isn't a Dualogic, having had the privilege of a go in one at Balocco I can only say the gearbox is a dream and exceedingly aggressive.

I find it saddening sometimes to read this forum as I wonder when all the enthusiasts left and when all the haters moved in. The world would be a sad place if it wasn't for car manufacturers pushing the envelope with mad little offerings like this from time to time. I guess there's always the Aygo for those that don't like it.....

If I had to buy a new hatch, I'd take it over something like a Golf GTI.

In fact, I rather like it. Oh... getmecoat

God that is awful in every sense. You could buy several Ferraris for the price of that badge engineering monstrosity.
