Created like a spiritual successor towards the 250GTO, the 575M make use of a front-mounted rear drive V12 with 575PS; and so the name – in a aggressive two seater coupe body shell.

Acceleration is stunning, cornering and braking likewise, and also the car includes a degree of road presence that few machines can match.

Accommodation is strictly for 2 – the back part of the cabin is a luggage shelf with strap catches – but this really is no real surprise, since the car induces a sensation of absolute selfishness for all the right reasons.

Since the transmission could be had in sequential form (operated by wheel paddles) the only real criticism of the heavy clutch has finally been negated. Basically, a sensational car.
