Drive out with the first UK Scud
Discussion
Went for a blast round the cotswolds yday with about 15 other Ferraris, and of special interest the UK's first Scud.I was offered a drive by the owner but weather conditions werent favourable so I declined. Strad was bloody filthy in stark contrast to last weeks freshly detailed pics

I`d say that the CSs look much better myself. It`s all down to personal preference of course.

430 scud for me the 360cs is 5 year old technology now
Sigh 
Thats gonna be a long wait for a Scud to come down to your budget which has sadly fell short of even a lowly CS for the last two years.

Hazy, thanks for posting the pics. Maybe I've just seen too many 360/430 cars now, but the scud looks nothing special in black - in pics at least. I'm sure it's a different matter when it comes to performance though......
I would agree, UNTIL you see it in the metal. I was of the opinion that it wasnt all that compared to the beautiful CS, but I gotta say, I really really liked it, cant wait to see the first red one redfive1 said:
Take it from me. It looks worse in black.even in the metal...........just to dark to pick out the vents...the rear looks nothing.
Saw the black one at the factory last year.Also the alcantara looks crap..... does this look like a 200k car......Just wait till its time to sell.......people will not stand for a crap spec.
At the end of the day it is down to personal spec.....Some one must like it...
dont agree at all- and the trim in this car is tech fabric , not alcantaraSaw the black one at the factory last year.Also the alcantara looks crap..... does this look like a 200k car......Just wait till its time to sell.......people will not stand for a crap spec.

Yup, I can just see queues of desperate Scooberia owners, crying into their wallets at the depreciation hit they're going to have to take ...
4yrs on an the CS has lost barely 35% of its value. I can't see the 430 version doing any worse.All black cars are a pain in the arse (mine was the AM V8 in the pictures). They look amazing when clean, but awful when filthy (outside of the knowledge that you know the car's being used).
The exterior of the Scooberia is much better in the flesh than any photo to date has shown, and even more so when on the move (where the front seems to hunker down more). The interior of the car looks very good IMO. Like a fighter cockpit and very in keeping with the car.
It's a very tasty piece of kit. Only thing for me is that 200k is a serious amount of money that would buy a serious number of alternatives. And I suspect the Scooberia is so quick that it will ultimately be a frustrating ownership proposition on today's roads. And I'm not sure track days are the answer as it's too loud.
A couple of us were mulling over how fast cars can actually get. I suspect the 430S is actually getting, or has gone beyond, what is practical on today's roads. I also suspect that tyre technology is now the limiting factor, especially when all weather use is considered.
Nice car thoough, and nice to see it being taken out and used
