Red with white.....lovely

Nero/Cuoio....lovely

Bianco/nero....lovely

Yep, either will do if you're the secret winner of the £63m looking for an outlet!

 

[Andyk]

The red is that funny red...Looks lovely then has a slight sort of pink to it in sunlight.......

'tis a no brainer, I guess - Sport wins, unless 1kmh over 300 is important. Or if only having 2 seats is attractive, which I suppose it could be for some. Wouldn't impress my wife and kids much!

 

[Andyk]

Stradale still has it on looks..But I'm with you the S makes so much more sense.....If you want a good track car buy a 911 GT3 RS...or something from Lotus or Caterham......

Just had my invite to the new Dick Lovett showroom 'The Copse'

The have an indoor showroom on two levels for 50 nice motors...hmmm

 

[Andyk]

Went past it on Monday...You can see if from the M4...It looks impressive....

Ditto... just need an excuse to head west now!

I drive past it at least once a week at the moment, must set off earlier and pop in!

Must be a great time to buy a GT-S, there are so many for sale - surely some good deals to be had.

 

[Andyk]

With the S coming out with more power extra the pre S model must be up for some great deals...especially new unsold ones..

 

[Felonious Crud]

I was talking to Nareman from Nuvola recently and he said good used GTS are really hard to come buy at the moment, at least at the age / price points he's looking at. Given the often short time the first owners will keep these I guess there'll be a flurry of <1 year-olds on dealer forecourts as soon as the first Sports start being delivered.

There were always cracking deals on Granturismo from late 2009/early 2010. Must punters just don't ask though!

I have only spoken with Nareman once and found him to be very impressive so believe what he says.

Half the issue is that the Granturismo works and people are keeping them longer - that's why residuals are at least as good as the 911.

The GT Sport for me does not work as it is not sufficiently different to my car and, if Evo are correct, then it will only be made for two years. If I had a three year rather than one year old GTS then I might see it differently but these cars seem so strong, keeping them until the new one comes out is an easy decision.

2015/16 I look forward to being in the Granturismo replacement.

I read on PH yesterday that Ferrari is testing a turbocharged V8 on the California but it's likely to find its way into a Maserati first. Might it lose that dictinctive, delicious rumble? That would be a bad thing!

Everyone is going turbo. It's like the eighties again.

 

[Andyk]

I touched up the young girl on this when I was at the Ferrari factory - I was told the engine will not loose that 'Maserati' sound....Now that all depends what era you are talking about....I loved the old bi turbo noise.....

 

[Felonious Crud]

What a very thorough tour of Ferrari's facilities!

Reassuring that the new engine should still rumble. Well done on paying attention to the answer...

Maserati are doing the same but with a V6 sadly, well, hears hoping the rustle up another couple of cylinders.

 

[bigbob]

I believe they are doing turbo V6 and V8 engines so it just depends how much wonga you spend as to which engine you get.
