[Closed] There are shooting brakes....and then there's the GTC4 Lusso

So glad they've finally offered a twin turbo V8. The tax on the V12 just made it a little too expensive.

Well, it's very pretty, not something I say often about Ferrari, since the 250GTO...

In the market aye?

There was a bright blue one of those parked in a disabled space at our local Sainsburys last month.
I didn't have a clue what it was apart from a Ferrari so had to look it up once I was home!

I definitely need a new vehicle. Has to be able to carry two kids in the back, space for a bike and be suitable for moderate off roading and be able to haul logs. I think the GTC4 Lusso should be perfect. I haven't bothered to check the price but it can't be [i]that[/i] expensive.

Looks ideal for your needs, jimjam. Spot of caravanning should be no bother either.

Picking a pair of sunglasses to go with that would be a nightmare......I'm out

It's a bit of a looker, isn't it?

Nicest Ferrari for ages, but then again, I love the 365 GT4, probably the ugliest car they've built.

It's ok but it's no new MX-5 that ticks all my boxes for beauty.

I prefer the 812 Superfast personally, but no four wheel drive or rear seats means I have to rule it out 😆

Wooooo! 😯

Rayban Aviators with mirrored lenses, medallion choice would be the sticking point.

The 812 looks like a bad kit car, way too fussy.

Says the man with the Doblo. 🙂

Reminds me a bit of the TR7 -
"Oh my God! They’ve done it to the other side as well!"

Doing it properly.

The XJS is lovely.

Always had a soft spot for the H50 concept:

Now that's what a practical Porsche should look like.

Seriously? 😆 as gopping as every other Porsche attempt at a practical car - was just thinking with the OP that Ferrari have shown the Germans how to do it.

That H50 is more gopping than a Panamera

They all look like posh hearses for pets.

As I said, I like ugly cars.
🙂

Not as clean as Ferry's birthday present

but I really like the H50 in a push-me-pull-you kind of way.

Very 480 es esque.

Interesting, the first 3 of CFHs' suggestions just look fugly to me, they are (understandably) cars bodged from their coupe counterparts, and the Scimitar looks way better.

Shows the power of the brand/pricetag/uniqueness to some.

Disagree.

Most practical Porsches end up looking like an Austin Princess, at least the attempt to make the Panamera into an estate improves it's looks.

[quote=jimjam ]Disagree.

Thanks for proving the point 😆

Anyone going to post the Lotus Elanbulence? Luckily only 2 ever made.

Hang on - they've named a car 'Superfast', and you guys seem OK with that!? Huh? What next, the Aston Martin 'TotesAmazeballs'?

[img] ?itok=mzZ_J7d1[/img]

Want that one!

Even Smart make a shooting brake.

No roof bars - I'm out! 😆

Seems to have plenty of torque for towing though.

Personally, I'd rather have this:

Not sure where shooting brake / 3 door / 5 door and estate merge. Jensen Interceptor for me..

Now that, is properly lovely.
Edit: the Alfa.

Nice motor.

Reminds me of one of my old cars...

@countzero
That's a cracking collection of Ferraris- I recognise the F40 as the one owned by Nick Mason. Thanks for posting those pics.

A friend has a FF, nice car known to his mates as "the fiat".

I'd have a 599 over the FF. Although you can get a 29er in the back of the FF as Chris Harris did when he was running his.
