Let's say you were toying with buying yourself a silly present...

Two thoughts spring to mind...Ferrari 599 GTO or Lamborghini LP670 SV

Any views on either to own or drive, or indeed any other suggestions?

I owned both. Without any shadow of doubt, at all, the GTO is about a million times the better car. Faster, sounds MUCH better, more rewarding to drive, much better gearbox. The SV looks wild, in that respect it is unmatched. But it is a dinosaur by comparison. At this level though, it is ALL about what floats your boat the most.



Andrew, that's a really interesting insight and kind of assures what I suspected, Lambos for drama, Ferrari for longer term pleasure.

So with my Devils advocate hat on, when I had my 599, I don't remember thinking it needed more power, so what makes the GTO so special!

Wow, £150k is a heck of a premium for RHD!

Surprising / interesting thing is no one has suggested anything else?
