Ekona Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Bland on the outside, stylish on the inside, and they shift like buggery. Personally I wouldn't buy one as I've an anti-turbo thing going on, but I have no doubt that it'll be a better drive than the 458. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbadman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Great spot! Lovely motors, would probably get the 458 or SLS though if it was my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Since selling the VXR really. As fun as turbo cars are in a straight line, there's nothing like the purity of the throttle response on a nice NA engine, the Zed woke me up to that.

geoff-r Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I saw one at Autosport too, looked stunning, I'd still like to see one at eye level since the one they had on show was about 4 feet off the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Its a turbo engine that revs to 8.5k - so I would imagine that the turbo lag is either non existent or not noticeable at that level. The performance levels on paper are quite remarkable and certainly outperform the 458 by some way. Im not totally convinced on the looks and think the 458 has it on that front, its just beautiful. The technology available in the 12c is amazing though - its the nearest thing to having a carputer built in. Built in WLan so you can transfer your music and videos to it directly from the office while the car is in the garage Thats sort of thing makes me all wobbly kneed.
