Having seen 612's in urban settings I am a big fan of the outgoing car - pictures really do not do it justice.

But the FF does not do it for me. The upper rear is more Scimitar than M Coupe, and the side vents are contrived. I've no problem with the concept, but if it had a little more Typhon about it I would probably be a fan.
So you are saying you can't judge the 612 on pictures and you've just judged the FF on pictures.rudecherub said:
Done already and with more original style

Motoring journalist Michael Scarlett at the steering wheel. In a fit of bravado, Scarlett decided to drive this FF up a ski-slope. Unaided and with basic crossply tyres, 119/025 drove up the ski-slope without fuss; much to the surprise of skiers.

Audi used the Jensen FF to develop the Quattro some years later, imitation is of course flattery, however Ferguson Research, became FF Developments, who developed four wheel drive systems for - among many others, Ford Sierra Cosworth, it also built the manufactured the transmission system for the McLaren F1 - becoming part of Ricardo who developed the transmission on the Bugatti Veyron.
If you want four wheel drive the FF legacy still the go to place for engineering.
