Off to test drive the Portofino M on Wednesday for the daftest possible reason namely that we would be able to get the dog into it!
Would I like a 488 or the F8 which is the current model? Sure they are pretty and these days they are well built. But what use is that level of performance in real life?
My current car is a 360 Spider which in its day (2004) fulfilled the same role as the 488. The 488 is just 3 generations further on in 15 years and in that time its gone from 400bhp to 660 bhp.. Manual gearbox to DCT only. NA to turbo. Incidentally the 488 is old hat - replaced by the F8 which is just now being replaced by the new V6 hybrid car.
I find myself thinking "whats the point" any more.
