Just looks so good

Thanks mate. Will pick your ear with questions shortly.

Any advice on the run in procedure? (Currently at 100km)

I hammered it pretty early, the car doesn’t automatically limit revs so I take it as a sign the factory doesn’t care. I say, always wait for the fluids to come up to temp, and then go for it.
 
Prettiest mid-engine Ferrari since the 458, and best Ferrari internal design so far. In the right color it’s a neck-breaker on the road, all while not being too flamboyant.

@domleo999 - Beautiful spec. We now have two well specced 296’s on the forum.

I agree. The design of this car is absolutely gorgeous. It's such a shame the resale market has not been kinder to it. The V6 Hybrid is glorious. A piccolo V12 is not a bad analogy.

Make that three 296's now.

What's your experience like compared to your 911 Turbo? Do you still have the Turbo?

Not even same league, punches way above the Turbo S. I had my Turbo for about 16 months and put 7k miles on. There’s are nice things about the turbo like it blends in, it’s pretty comfortable and usable especially given the performance. But ultimately I just didn’t gel with it. It’s one car that post selling I’ve never looked back and missed. I miss my 458’s, my i8, my M5’s, my cayenne turbo GT. I don’t miss my 992 Turbo S or GT3. If I was to get another Porsche I’d get a 991 GT3.
