Seen 2 of these now latly and it puts out nothing but symphony from the exhaust. One of the more recent episodes of topgear richard is driving one, and the road the ride is rediculous. Makes me want to take my bike to romania.

The best part of that episode was James getting hit in the Lambo (and his economy car get crushed by a 18-wheeler). :D

That was a good episode...as always, top notch and amazing cinematography.

that episode was hilarious, and like you said the conematography is amazing. The fact the new season is in HD makes it that much more enjoyable. When i saw the road they finally were looking for i about blew my load. Talk about amazing.

The gentleman's Ferraris have always been marketed to a more sophisticated clientele Scott:moon:

I saw one at the Nurburgring last fall and right next to it was a 430. I wasnt that impressed with either honestly. A Scuderia maybe but if I want raw performance I would go with something from Germany that starts with a P and ends with an E and if its attention I am after, it would be a LP640. Ferraris just dont do it for me.

That's one of the best looking Ferrari's to be designed in quite awhile. not that I wouldn't take any of the others.

Today saw a yellow Modena convertible at the local doctor's office. That thing was amazing.

The California is nothing but a glorified Maserati Gran Tourismo, I've driven the Maserati and it's junk. Now as for the rest of Ferrari's line up, a whole different story. F430 incredible to drive and would take it over a Gallardo any day. From what I'm told the new 458 is going to released with the same exclusivness as the Enzo. that way the market doesn't get flooded like it did with the 430. The only way to purchase one is to be invited. I have a customer who was been through 5 Ferrari's in the last year and was still denied when he tried to order one. I'm a huge fan of the Lamborghini's but they flood the market so the resale is horrible and when you put it in the air there is VW logos stamped every where. You can get a new Gallardo LP560-4 for $50k under sticker right now. Last year was the first time someone could walk into a Ferrari dealer and leave with a brand new one. Ferrari builds their cars on an as needed basis, they are all pre sold, unlike Lamborghini who builds cars to send to dealers as stock.
