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...

Correction. Residuals are always a factor unless you were gifted tonnes of cash and didn't have to earn it!

Correction. This is a projection.

No, it's a deliberately obnoxious statement; 'only poor and or small minded people'. Really? Good grief

Could I have a FF instead please?

I'd take one over either of the other two.

Have you considered a career in self-deception ?

Loads of people don't consider residuals. Loads of people aren't like you. Deal with it.

That is true. I'm already dealing with it. I quite like people who part with their money easily.

I'd take the F12. I absolutely love the look of this car. That together with the fact it's more practical for my needs and the 12 cylinders make it my dream car......
