Been "Masering" around all week, but also sampled the 2 latest and greatest V12s....
The FF and aventador. Well, everyone needs to drive the FF and they will find themselves a best all around car, PERIOD. It is as fast as a 458, brakes as good or better than the 458, handles better than anything in the rain, sounds better than a 458, looks awesome from the rear.
458, F1 like steering wheel is wierd in a utility car like this, i much prefer the old 612 wheel. Initial turn in creates body roll and a soft feeling of the suspension, but it sticks like glue, and still awesomely fun, throttle input is as sensitive and great as a 458. Overall handling not as light feeling as a 458, but better than anything else with a non F badge. Not that it matters, but rear seats roomier than my 612. {retty much can sell all ur cars for one FF and it would be practical, dont know how the fuel comsumption and gas tank size, but if its ok, it really can be a one and only car.
It can run with the best in the dry and beat everybody in the rain and most importantly it will still be fun to drive like any best ferrari. i would make the springs shock stiffer but its more than enough for any mountain driving.
Just cant help but imagine what the next 599 would be like, thats the first reason for not getting it, and the 2nd has to do with the frontal and side profile of this car, its no where near ugly, but they could of done much better. but if u want a mountain carver in a daily, THIS IS IT!!!!!
As for the aventador, i can only see it as good theatrics and not a drivers car. my advise is dont drive it before u buy it. Passengers and other outside tourists love it though. Really wanted to love this and recommended it to all my buddies who can afford one, and love the looks and specs BEFORE getting behind the wheel. Feeling very confused after.
