The 5.5 liter V12 engine from which this model derives its designation is Ferrari at its best. Hugely powerful with 479 horsepower on tap, it’s also very user-friendly even in the hands of a relatively new convert to the Ferrari world. The unique bark of the V12 on startup is intoxicating, but it’s nothing compared to the full-throttle wail, and the car is equally at home in traffic or on the Autobahn, it just doesn’t seem to care what you do. The six-speed snaps through the gears and the suspension isn’t race-car stiff, but supple enough to be used every day, yet still delivers higher limits than most drivers can exploit. The brakes are, of course, hugely powerful, and one glance underneath reveals that this car has never seen foul weather. Traditional 5-spoke alloy wheels have a clean, classic look and carry staggered 255/40/18 front and 295/35/18 rear performance radials.
