Looks like a boggo 430 with Scud wheels.

Should be interesting seeing how they get on running one. Seems they have a new 4.7 Aston V8 too now.

Alright for some eh!

They have not bought the car will be run for 6 months, it belongs to Ferrari UK and was used to demo extras such as Scud wheels carbon sill etc.
It has about £50k of options if you read the full detils from the mag.

£50k of options!!

Actually, that's peanuts compared to the 599 GTO options list...


Interesting info though, thanks. I rarely buy the mag these days, and they don't seem to put the Long term updates online which is a shame.

Definitely not boggo!

It has £63k worth of options

Carbon-cermaic brakes, Scud wheels, £9000 pair of carbon side skirts and a £17600 carbon engine kit.

Who would spend over £26k on a load of carbon fibre, just for the look of it!

Good article though, well worth a read.

I agree, most of the other car mags do.

I know - some of that carbon mumble is just bonkers!

Looks great with the Scud wheels and they're certainly putting some miles on it. They're doing a feature against their other long term test cars - the AMV8 and R8 V10 - in the next couple of weeks.
