Agreed that the car is sexy, but for me because it is unique. Hopefully you can get this - I'm still waiting for that z8 to magically drop on my doorstep.
the 850 is cool, but notice that the 840s are usually worth more. the V12 wasn't exactly a fabulous engine.

That V12 (S70) you're talkin about that isn't so fabulous is actually the engine in the McLaren F1 only tweaked for more performance (known as S70/2)...pffff not fabulous my ass, it kicks ass!!!!

yes, but in the 850, it made a rather lackluster amount, especially considering its weight. only the 850CSi made a good amount of power.

still, the Ci is a nice car - the only reason i'd buy the car advertised above is a a museum peice due to its low mileage. i'd buy one of the examples with a few more miles and tune it for more power, personally - that way i don't feel bad destroying a collector's piece like the car above.

Car is definetly sick, but autotragedy, still sick car though.
and yes, i have heard numerous times that the V12 was a good engine, but the 840 engine was more reliable in terms of constantly pushing it hard and such.
