Nicely specced GTO.
Comedy price. The car should be £499k at most.

Corbyn gets in and it'll be worth £5.99

Wow, that much?

How would Corbyn getting in to power impact the price of used Ferraris ?

[SidewaysSi]

Isn't Corbyn going to be giving Ferraris away? Ferraris for all...I already have my name down on a F40.

No matter what they say, I have always found this a rather cynical application of the GTO moniker, when you consider what wore the badge previously. The 288 GTO was on my wall as a kid, and would be a Euromillions purchase in a heartbeat if the numbers came in. This though? Just another special edition 599 in my mind: sorry!

Agree - sort of felt like they did as little as possible to justify it being a "special". Sort of felt the GTO moniker deserved a bit more....

[Omaruk]

I used to be in awe of these , sadly looks wise It’s not aged well

[C.MW]

One of the very few Ferraris that almost manage to get my adrenaline flowing. Remember how journos like Steve Sutcliffe sang praises of the sound it makes.

A supercar with huge performance and a happy smiley 'face'.
Makes a change from the myriad of current stuff with the usual depressing angry 'in yer face' council look..

I'm afraid Jeremy Corbyn and his crew would be no friend to flash cars.

I'd have the F12 TdF.

£700k - really?? Just because it’s a Ferrari and it’s rare doesn’t mean it’s worth more than its list price. Especially when its faster, smaller - yet no less spacious inside - more nimble, lighter, better built, etc, etc, F12/812 successors are available for a fraction of the cost

[The1Driver]

Man.... If I had the monies. I'd take this thing to so many places.

Silverstone
Llandow.... Yes Llandow
Brands Hatch
Nurburgring
Spa

£700k and the fuel light is on?

Maybe. But we could say that about many things...the reality is that the Market surprises us from time to time.

Sounds wonderful, doesn't it!

What a debacle this car is. Ferrari were struggling big time when they cane up with this thing to help shift a few more. The fact that they had to dig out the Crown Jewels GTO badge to sell them is just embarrassing. It’s a bit rubbish to look at, it’s too fat, and it’s way too expensive for what it is. Jay Kay’s vastly superior F12 TDF sold for £605k at the weekend with only a few miles more on the clock. This thing has no right to be over £500k.

All in your opinion of course.

[The Brummie]

That is one hell of a beast of a car.

However not sure it deserves the GTO badge. Saying that if I had a spare £700k I would buy that car.
