Hi, basically the Gt3 is a go-kart, great on track but needs revving to get the best out of it and on public roads isn't the best solution.
The V12V is a beast, heavier but not so much so that you cannot corner quick, tons of torque makes it easier to drive and the V12 sounds awesome. So much more an accomplished car all round.
And yes, those arches do stand out biggrin
Thanks for the reply, hopefully will be able to drive them myself not too soon, reading about others having fun in them isn't the same thing! wink

The v12v seems like such a great package, seems to have everything really. I'll be interested to hear what the new V12V S is like in comparison when the reviews start to come in.

I feel impelled to resurrect this topic, having stumbled across it after a few years and not seen these pics since.

You may laugh but I'm actually nicely surprised how good my car looks in these photos cool

Do you still have it or did you sell it on (as i did in a moment of weakness).

Thanks for resurrecting. Great photos of the V12V. . Stunning view. Beautiful gradients of color.

And the background looks good, too....

Yes, owned for over 6 years now. There is nothing out there for the money to replace it with - but don't think I'd want to part with the Mako beast anyhow!

Think these are the best photos to really show off the the colour biggrin

Will stop for a Ribblehend pic next time I go through. Very busy up there with Easter walkers this time.
Found this today, did it again in the 911 this year, now need to go back in the V8V.
