Cool n scary stuff....
Do the Murcielago, Enzo, F40, F50, Gallardo (middle engined supercars) etc... get taken apart like this for service?

They have a Porsche dealership in my homeland
The very few with the Ferraris have them sent to France for servicing and ship them back.

brilliant pics, wonderful to see the detail in such clarity.

IMO, the pics illustrate why the CGT is THE supercar bargain out there...the engineering excellence on display is awesome.

Amazing picture of a masterpiece of engineering ! After seeing such detailed pictures of CGT, I despise the attempts by aftermarket companies who mess with this perfection like Gemballa Mirage and etc. even more.

Kuzi, enjoy your car in the best of health !
