My Aristocratic
LIVING WITH A SUPERCAR (…True Supercars Owners Stories)
“I’d be lying if I told you that I do not love speed or the nice sound of a powerful engine, but for me, a supercar must also be stylish and able to accompany the owner everywhere he wants. My 612 Scaglietti is everything I ever wanted in a car, and I would not leave it for anything in the world. I purchased my car brand new about ten years ago, and every time I have a day off, I enjoy washing and polishing it. Then, when I take it for a ride, I always live the same feeling of the first day. My family, consisting of my wife and our little dog, is always with me and the luggage compartment and the extraordinary driving comfort make it great even for longer trips. I have traveled over 120,000 km: impressed? I never had troubles, only the usual and necessary routine maintenance. The V12 is generous and provide a rich torque: just hit the gas and the 540-hp will immediately come at you, grip is excellent, just like its charm that seems frozen in time. She has an aristocratic look and carries an important name like that of Sergio Scaglietti, historic coachbuilder for Maranello’s Prancing Horse. You can’t but love her. I also tested the FF and the F12, but their arrogance did not make me fall in love; coming back home I was happy not to have given away my 612, because we still have such a long road to drive together…”
