Which one did/would you go for ?


(And this is ignoring all ttish considerations of residuals/depreciation and other such crud that only poor and or small minded people consider when choosing a motor car.)

Daft comparison.
Don't overthink it or turn it into a tedious cerebral lecture. We all know how different they are. Just pick one and give your reason.

Speciale because I prefer sports cars to GT cruisers
Yet to drive, an f12 will do all that the Speciale will do and is just as sporting (albeit with a slight penalty in its softness) and is arguably more expolitable and fun with its greater torque and predictable front engined layout.

Or are you just talking about the 'idea' of the car rather than the actual experience it gives ?

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.

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.

Wow. Have you considered journalism?
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.
