I really want a 12 Cilindri. I’ve even grown to love the back end.

I like the shape of the 12 Cylinder but those alloys look like they're from a Kia or Hyundai. Awful, and no dish even.

The good news is they are handed.

The bad news is they are utterly fugly.

I enjoyed the CH video, but - other than the lovely noise it made/makes - I have zero desire.

Front engined V12 Ferraris are very cool in my book and I like the 12C but the strangling of the noise means I'd go for an 812 I think (though actually after looking I am developing more love for the F12 as well...).

They are very colour dependent though - I saw an 812 Superfast parked up in central London in Rosso (not sure if it was Corsa) and it just didn't look great.

Modern Ferraris (and supercars in general) do naff all for me. But there was something about that 12 Cilindri in that vid that appealed hugely to me. You very rarely get a true sense from a video about how it might feel to drive a particular car, in particular in terms of handling, but from that vid I did and it looked like it would be great fun. It came across as being really agile, as per his commentary.

The axe head alternative on the configurator are vastly superior.

F12 still the best for me, but I like them, I'd be very happy with one that I configured.

Nice to see that you can configure the F80 in the colour of my car.

Love it! A mockery of the whole reason the Cygnet exists!

No doubt it’s awful, but i like that someone built it!

I’m sure they had it on Top Gear back when it was new.

Not just someone, Aston Martin built it themselves

Dash-out job to service it and get to the rear plugs and belts?

I do not remember that at all, awesome though! Doesn't even matter that it's probably almost undrivable.

I do remember seeing it at the time - from the side I still cannot fathom how they've made it fit.

Kind of reminds me of a reverse Clio V6.

i can’t work out where the drivers legs would go!?!

Or perhaps it’s the perfect Bond villain car if Aston are worried they won’t get the contract for the main Bond car next time…

Tempted by this mx5, £5k off due to being preregistration last year. https://www.mazdausedcarlocator.co.uk/u ... a-mx-5-2.0

Its the same specs as Jobbos car, as much as I lived the colour of my 100th, I think the bbs wheels and recaros really do work and the updated tech is welcome even if its not quite what the car is about.

Does it have a SpaceX engine?

It does 0-60 in a claimed 650seconds though.

So even if it maintains the same rate of acceleration, it'll take 147333.333 seconds to reach 13600mph.
Or 2455minutes.
Which is 40.92 hours
In other words, 1.7 days.

I did a bit of a double take there at an MX-5 being a £30k car

Scrolled up a bit. That Cygnet
