First Ferrari I ever drove was an FF, that engine is just sensational.

Congrats, honestly don't see how you can go wrong with a NA V12. I have struggled to warm to Ferrari for a while now, not sure if it's the gaudy looks (especially interiors) or the attention they receive on the road but V12, I mean, the engine to me is worth the price tag alone.

One big reason I didn't get an FF and got an F90 is because of the AWD system failing frequently (inevitable) on the FF. The issue was not resolved for the Lusso either. I read that this is a $20k+ job if it fails thus backed off from buying.

Nice it's a special car for sure. The V12 is glorious. I don't think I could handle all the attention I would get though. Just against my whole personality.
I'm looking to get into a NA V8 for my next car (IS500). I want to get one before they disappear completely! |

But I also recognize that right now there are some very good analog/manual cars available that will likely be the last of the breed. That's why I got a 1LE and it's a blast.

That's why I can't bring myself to get rid of my Exige, there's just nothing out there like it.

That sounds absolutely ridiculous. This is why I still can't get excited about electric sports cars. I'd rather be driving this at 45 MPH and listening to that exhaust. Congrats on the new car

Just watch out for that 4-5 shift trap when pushing on it (especially in damp conditions). |

Yep, V12 shooting brakes are cool. The FF is in good company: Lamborghini 400 Flying Star and Bentley Continental Flying Star:

The car is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about it. Really a special experience every time you fire it up that you can’t get with the German brands, even Porsche as much as I love them. |

These are awesome, had no idea that Flying Star even existed. Would love to see them make a 2021 version with the new Continental. The interior on those is just amazingly well crafted. Hopefully they’ll be under $100k in a few years
