458 and 488 are great...

But I aim for cars that are more usable on a day to day basis.  An F12 with a real trunk would be ideal.  And the FF is entirely practical as the ultimate family car. 

I wonder if the 458 and the 488 would be practical?  The blind spot in the Lamborghini Huracan was terrible, you simply cannot make emergency lane changes, you have very limited options.  The cabin was small, but suspension was comfortable.  The trunk was too small, smaller than the 458 and smaller than the McLaren. 

You've got to try a Rolls Royce Wraith.  Practical, huge trunk, decent handling, great safety, Crossover SUV height (which contributes to great safety), BMW infotainment system, 360 degree camera, no B Pillar, and a manageable blind spot, great audio system, quiet, peaceful, very little stress, very calming.

Our Moderator AnthonyT showed us some excellent photographs of the new Ferrari 812 Superfast when it was at Ferrari Newport Beach. And I attended the debut of the F12 Berlinetta back in 2013. The 812 replaces the F12. The 812 has more horsepower and more...

As I was driving up past SFO yesterday I expected to see lots of exotics heading for Laguna Seca & Pebble Beach. We saw just one: The color was very nice - better than it appears here. Thanks for reporting. Mike ...

I happen to like it even better than the F12 which is excellent in its own right. Shame you apparently couldn't get some nice full exterior shots because of the crowd but the interior details look very nice indeed . Perhaps the last of the Mohicans when i... 

We've got Anthony's exterior photos!

The whole turbocharged, naturally aspirated, stuff will all become nonsense and irrelevant soon. Progress is progress. We may have a sense of nostalgia, and heck, some may even be willing to pay more for that sense of nostalgia. But I judge the cars by th... 

Thanks for the report Patrick!

I love the upgraded interior and console as compared to that of inside my FF. Too bad I didn't have a chance to turn on the Superfast when it was here to see how the electronic displays looks like. These new Ferrari's so just so damn sexy... I was droolin...
