I'm sure it's phenomenal, though.

99.9% of us will have to take the word of motoring journos for that though.......



.....and as everyone on here is quick to point out you can't take their word on run of the mill stuff as they're often in the pocket of the manufacturer in question.

No-one wants to question the Emperor's new clothes after all.......


.....or their paint finish...

I was behind a white one of these on my morning commute recently.

After a quick google to confirm my belief that it wasn't a 458 or 488 I released what it was and thought "Wow this is a LA Ferrari', then I noted it didn't have a roof at which point I googled again and found it was a Aperta (first I've heard of it). Figured it could have only been one of a very few in the world. The guy floored it a bit and it was superbly loud and superbly hypercar'ish

So where did I spot this 1 in 200 in the world car retailing at 5M +


Wait for it....

No not Mayfair


No not Chelsea


Not Notting Hill


But

The city outskirts of....... Derby!

I would guess it might be Gordon Ramsey's. He has a white Aperta reg no 150 GR.

Gah! You've just reminded me of the nadir of Chris Evans' tenure on Top Gear - the excruciating moment Gordon Ramsay brought out the presentation box with the Aperta key in it.

Lovely car, but when something that is so obviously limited edition needs pointing out so blatantly it kind of kills it a bit!

If i was on monkey dust/ crack/ heroine and blind maybe.

Whoever designed the bonnet top & sliding over the front arches, roof bubble and rear deck was good Imo. The bumpers are rubbish, front looks like its been kicked in the nose and bled all over its splitter on a red car, the sides of the that front look bland afterthought. Rear bumpers a mess, circumcised donky dick hanging down with a number plate nailed into it!?? That slab of pastry hanging over the rear of the side vent is way too heavy esp for the rear wheel haunch/arch top and they missed out the rear vent the concept had. FXX had sticker for that And dont get me started on that window licker rear wing

But each to their own

Fabulous looking thing, stunning in fact with a price to match, redline seem to get a lot of in demand cars, they had a new Ford GT as well when a friend went for a visit the other week.
