nobody does Apertas like we do....

im pretty sure nobody puts these 1 of 80 rollin collectibles thru its paces, burning rubber, brake disc glowing and smelly, redline shifting, exhaust blazin, suspension maxed out driving like us.
and this is on a weekly basis! :spar:
even the tops get a workout because we love to see how things work and its no german engineered CGT top for sure :friendlykick:
a carbon hard top is coming so no worries.
i used to think it looks like an overpriced 599, but now after seeing it for couple weeks, the open top, special colors, and GTO hidden bits are almost worth it. Especially the engine, it managed to sound better than GTOs!!!??? go figure.
Is it worth almost TWO "regular" 599s???
well, i finally learned the answer to that question, "if u have to ask, ...."

I've seen quite a few Aperta's and I must say they're pretty darn cool, which is something I wasn't quite expecting. Nice to see you're enjoying them out on the road!

One Aperta is being converted to GTO spec at the factory - that should be quite a fun car on a mountain road....

Onno

Very cool. Looks like you have some great roads to run on as well.

Would love to have one of those. A V12 with an easily used top and GTO perfromance. Not in this life, though.
