What Car? says
For A fantastic-looking supercar with stacks of performance and a chassis to match
Against It's not very practical, it gulps fuel and has a very short range between refills
Verdict
An uncompromising, high-maintenance, high-tech, high-performance super-tourer
Go for… V12
Avoid… V12S
- 1. The clutch could be a weak point, so check the gearchanges are smooth
- 2. Look out for any juddering in first or reverse gears as you ease the car into tight spaces
- 3. Both models use the same reliable paddle-shift gearbox
- 4. Rear seats are barely adequate for children, even on short journeys
- 5. The V12 engine is reliable but needs careful maintenance
