Supercars.. Base vs Ultimate variants .... Really ?

[Gregor-lun1d]

I've got a hybrid - a 599 with factory HGTE, a 'baby GTO' as I describe it. The GTO is five times the price and if I could afford one, I'd be scared stiff of driving it in case I damaged it or .. heaven forbid .. adding miles eroded a £0.5m investment.

in my limited experience of these things, you never have to justify the model you have to people that have supercars, only the ones that are without them.

The SV is a special variant for real

I had a Diablo GT before the Murci, and that was bloody hard work on the Euro trips that we did to Italy and back. I'm not saying the SV variant of the Murci would be as bad as the Diablo for those sort of trips, but performance isn't necessarily everything that matters.

For me the extra was worth it, but it wasn’t a great deal. I went for the mark 1 Gallardo SL. Before hand I tried a few other cars and whilst all very nice, didn’t make me smile like the kid inside wants to. From a performance point, I wouldn’t care if no diff from the standard model, the whole ambiance of inside is what did it for me. It just feels special.

If it was two or three times the price I wouldn’t have done it, so any special Ferrari are out for the future, but Lamborghini don’t seem to follow same trend which is great for me and others
