Bit of an unfair comparison though don't you think? The N24's really aimed at track use, IIRC you have to pay quite a bit extra to get it SVA'd to take it on the road. Then they gave it to the one guy of the three who would always least appreciate a raw car and went to the south of France to cook him! They didn't give any indication of how it handled, what the engine was like etc. just slagged it off cos it was hot, noisy and a hard ride.

Absolutely agree - it wasn't a like for like comparison, but AM have been touting the car to current owners on the basis that it can be a useful road car, which is blatently stretching it a bit!!!!!

Well, if it's true, May chose the Aston.

Don't forget the scripted breakdown. Obstructing Italians for the jollification of the viewers - my how funny. Sometimes they try a little too hard to recreate that masterpiece of getting the Ford GT and Zonda out of that Paris car park. Other than that, watchable, apart from the boring actress who provided a convenient respite to go and make a coffee.

I told someone in work the exact same thing today. Not funny if you're held up by what appears to be deliberate.

Loved the Superleggera though!

The N24 is designed primarily to compete in the new GT4 class
