Bought a Lusso V12

[LotusJas]

My wife was suggesting we needed a new family car. I wanted a NA V12 before they're neutered by new regulations.

However the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera I'd had on loan didn't have enough rear seat space, and was turbocharged. And the AMR Rapide was just too dated, and a bit boring.

So I concluded there was only one car that really ticked all the boxes - the best 4 seat family car I could find. And with perhaps the best V12 engine around.

I bought a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso In my opinion the best 4 seat supercar you can buy today.

I collected the Lusso at the weekend and already did 400 miles just over the weekend.

Proper 4 seater, which is why I bought it as our family transport. Extremely luxurious interior for a supercar, and it rides more comfortably than my 720S, and is also quiet inside - until you increase throttle and revs... when it roars and then screams.

It has a lot of sound-proofing to the cabin, so is very quiet and docile at low RPM and throttle.

Sweet NA V12 engine, 4WD and 4 wheel steering, which makes it feel significantly smaller and more nimble to drive than its size would otherwise suggest.

Absolutely stunning Lusso and in my fav colour for it..I had a testdrive in a new V12 Lusso a month ago and concluded its the best genuine four seater GT car you can buy..

That is stunning!

Glass like paintwork there!

Looks fantastic, enjoy in good health.

Lovely colour combo inside and out. Speaking as an FF owner, you’re going to find it hard to keep the miles off it. The cars are just so damn capable.

Excellent choice - I think the FF/Lissi are the best daily cars you can have
Child seat, dog, snowboard, bike - take your pick, it all fits plus a surprisingly good 4wd system so you never get stuck

Fabulous looking car - great colour choice !

Also loving the carbon inside and out. Really lifts the interior. Which grigio is it? (I’m guessing ferro)

I'm guessing that it's the little known, special order colour "Grigio Reflecto" given that it's been polished so well it's more like a mirror

That is absolutely stunning, enjoy.

That looks stunning. I recently acquired an FF myself, and am looking longingly at the GTC4s. Great package, colour & options you have there. Mega.

Thanks guys

As someone else remarked, "it's the perfect family bus"

And yes, it is very daily usable as it's a very comfortable place to be. I do wish it had soft close doors though.

Congratulations Lotus it looks epic. Top555 had a beauty for a few hours before it sold.

Any update on your thoughts of her, having owned her for a while now?

Yes, electrically less reliable than my 720S. More scuttle shake (less stiff). But more comfortable, and luxurious, and of course carries 4 in comfort.

Ferrari HQ customer service is slow and very poor indeed. Not at all impressed by Ferrari as a company. Dealer seems to have been ok, but delayed by warranty authorisations from HQ. This is pre-covid btw.

The car has spent more time at the dealer having an electrical issue (seat heating and ventilation) fixed than in my garage. So I only just got it back Thursday, in time for the covid lockdown

Absolutely stunning car. Sorry to hear of your warranty issues.

Sorry to hear about the issues but it's a stunning looking car. I think photos never do these justice generally, they are much nicer in the flesh as pics don't really capture the stance of the car.
