V12 Lusso - Enough Power? Is the Power to Weight Enough?
Discussion
Guys I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a 2019 Nero Daytona on Cream GTC4 Lusso.
One thing I haven’t been able to do is really push the car in a test drive due to traffic and poor weather. Tomorrow it is likely raining again and is my last chance to test drive again before buying her.
How would you describe/compare the acceleration? What cars are quite similar?
Anyone felt it needs more power? I have driven the Ferrari 612 and found it underwhelming but the engine was smaller than the Lusso.
This is a street car I know, but I do want to make sure 514lb ft of torque is enough for such a heavy car to really give a thrilling sense of acceleration to accompany that screaming V12.
My recent cars have been Porsches (GT3 Touring, 3RS, 2RS and Speedster) all of which had plenty of oumph for the street, infact the 2RS was too much oumph for the street in my opinion.
All the 4.0 cars had roughly 50 less torque than the V12, but weighed much less and I loved their sound. The engine, 9k redline and agility made me really enjoy all of them.
Thanks for the help and for the input guys.

You'll struggle to push the car even if the weather was perfect!
Surely there's no rush? Just wait until the weather improves, you'll need a willing salesman mind!
Not sure anyone on here can give you a definitive answer, I personally think the car is bonkers fast & I drive a 720s.
“Bonkers fast” from a 720S driver is exactly what I wanted to hear. That brought out the inner kid in me.Surely there's no rush? Just wait until the weather improves, you'll need a willing salesman mind!

I must say the Ferrari interior design is second to none. and that V12! No other proper 4 seater comes close.
