O.T. - I Have A Hard On For This Car

That's a damn fine car. I'd be curious to see the list of buyers. Wonder how many are getting shipped to Brunei?

Thanks for the update – but we dunce Americanos don’t understand “kph” :)

Papi, all you need to know is that 350kph is fuckin' fast!

If you show up to the SC in one of those and the word gets around – you are going to have to beat them (dancers) off of you :)

Where does the HP race end? Seems like every week Shelby or somebody else comes out with a 1,000 HP auto that only the very rich can afford and you still can't drive it that fast on any highway.

the HP race doesn't end, and it shouldn't, although i don't think this car is trying to break the record for most horse power in a production car, as SSC Aero holds the record at 1300+, and Bugatti still holds the fastest production car record... at 430km/h.

That's all great, LaFerrari seems like one of best looking supercars ever, & I'm still here saving up for a 458...

@ Papi: Assuming a kilometer is 5/8 of a mile (0.625) then 350 kph would equal about 218.75 mph. That is indeed, "fucking fast" as farmerart points outs. Also, look at the speedometer on your own car for comparison.

I always get a kick out of crossing the border into Canada. Where Interstate 5 leaves the U.S. at Blaine, WA, and enters British Columbia, the U.S. speed limit is 60 mph. That immediately changes to 100 kph. It certainly doesn't feel like driving "a hundred."

Surely not overcompensating for shortcomings, right Art?

“… Surely not overcompensating for shortcomings, right Art …”

I don’t think he is – “AND DON’T CALL HIM SHIRLEY”

:)

Spped limit is way too low and speed cops would never allow you to drive this in the USA.

Plus Obama and his redistribute the wealth gang would be all over it. Think how many votes could be bought by handing out free cell phones and other freebies from the left with that kind of money.

Not nearly as fast as the Bugatti Veyron.

Too bad the tires disintegrate too soon on the Bugatti. Hopefully they equip the Ferrari with better tires.

The tires alone on a Bugatti cost $20,000, I didn't know you can get better than that...

@motorhead I think we're all overcompensating for some things, especially guys in this community.

art- I am of the opinion that one would be wise not to buy a car that costs more than 1/3 of ones annual income. So, if you make more than $3.9M/yr., I won't brand you as imprudent.

That said, I would speculate that buyers of this "vehicle" would make this merely one of several OTHER toys. I would guess those guys have an exchequer north of $50M........

art actually does sound like he makes north of 4m a year.

Then a lot of people aren't very wise minnow. ;)

I do agree with you.

art,

can I have a job?

Art – will you adopt me ?

:)

Was in SF for the past few days. No time for ROB SC's, but did see a couple of Ferrari's and a Lamborghini. Fascinatingly beautiful cars!

I want a BMW i8 electric sports car. bmw-i-usa.com

But the price is $160,000. I think I'll stick to my Z-4.

Still prefer a Harley. Also good for women, and women that don't have near as high "maintenance fees" as do those that hang with exotic car owners.

dalex, when the tires cost $20,000, they should last longer than a tank of gas at over 200 mph. :)

Alternatively, get a Nissan GT-R, ship it to AMS and get their Alpha 12 package, devote the $1.1 million you save to good times with lovely ladies. Or save a few extra bucks and just get their Alpha 9 package. Trust me, it's lots of fun! That said, the Ferrari looks fabulous.
