F12 vs. Speciale ?
Discussion

F12 is a V12, with a glorious engine, not racy in the same way as the Speciale's V8, but mighty, and builds a wave of torque rather than an 'electric' hit of power. The Speciale is instantaneous, manic and wieldy, the F12 is smooth, powerful, responsive and fast but much more remote. Very different cars.
Useful, thanks for that.Tough question.
I adore the Speciale, I really do...in yellow, with black stripes and carbon accents looks wise it's almost unbeatable. And then the noise. Wow. I'm partial to ''racey'' cars too, love the alcantara look/feel etc.
If it was to be my sole car though, head would say F12, in nero or grigio (any). The noise is fantastic, it has more space for luggage so on road trips the girlfriend would appreciate that aspect quite a bit. Would have to take it with ''racing'' seats though, I prefer them in many ways, and because of my height (disadvantage? definitely for supercars), necessary.
As a weekend only car I'd be hard pressed not to take the Speciale though. Just fedex whatever you can't take with on a road trip...
Either way, each car is majestic in their own way, and I doubt you'll sit there sobbing away you didn't take the other car...
