Blu Sideris SV close to my spec - very happy after voluminous changes.

Premiums are standard in the Ferrari world in one way or another and if the car is going out of state I don't think it's fair to blame a dealer. Jay Leno said the other night a collector never over pays they simply bought too soon but in todays times it's too late.

I bought a Coupe from the showroom floor in November and got a Roadster build allocation (due to a cancelled order) from another dealer the same day. The Roadster (Verde Ithica) arrives June so I've got a few months to decide which one to keep.

The single clutch gearbox isn't as smooth or fast as a double clutch (at least at running-in speeds), but it is a good deal better than the e-gear from previous Lambos I've owned. Unlike the double clutch, you need to change manually and time the shifts more carefully. It is clunkier than a DSG but also more of a challenge to get right. The car is nowhere near as well developed as a 918 Spyder, but it sounds great and I can't take my eyes off it.

Great spec - nice write up and congrats on the roadster allocation.

Hoping to see mine in March.

Dealer called - SV went into production

With the new regulations 12 cylinders are a dying breed.

Called on an F12 while on their site saw a stunning FF Rosso Fuoco - could not resist.

Such a beautiful car. Design kinda reminds me of the "clownshoe" m coupes... which I also love. Obviously this is a different league.

Congrats on the SV going into production... What is ETA?

Beautiful interior and exterior color on the Ferrari. Beware of depreciation... All 4 seat Ferraris are cursed with it, unfortunately.

It's better than a RR Mulsanne and so on

Should be shipped in three weeks guessing another two weeks for delivery.

Lamborghini doesn't communicate other than it's in production - got a call from the dealer if I wanted to air freight so who knows it may be on it's way.
