This looks like a first decent attempt at a BEV. But the BEV we’ve been waiting for VW to make for a loooooong time is a new electric Microbus...

no, no, just the battery expansion flaps (hydraulic) and the chain-driven electron pump and the electromechanical polarity re-reverser with its heavy-duty synchronizing chain guided with little tabs made of pressed M&M shells

I know you’re making a joke here, but f/t/r, my 4-year-old eGolf has yet to see the inside of a garage other than mine.

Are you seeing white from the back of a Model X because they use different shades of white, or because you’re actually in the third row and are having trouble breathing because your knees are in your chest?

I thought they looked familiar. I haven’t seen anything that their wheels don’t look dope on. 

They look like Fifteen52's, and they REALLY work in this application. The stock wheels are nothing to write home about. These actually look like they fit the car better, IMO. 

For a V12 Ferrari these along with the 550 are pretty reliable. Plus you don’t have to take the engine out for service.

Yeah, they’re Fifteen52's Tarmac model. Ken Block ran them in his early Gymkhana Fiesta videos.

Seems to me if you buy an old Italian sports coupe you want to be noticed.

Yeah, I don’t get the groaning in the article about them. They aren’t garish or anything, and given that you get the originals anyway, if you don’t like them, swap them out and keep it moving. I gave it a NP.

To me it looks like Ferrari built a Nissan 240sx

Agreed, I have no idea what the factory wheel was in these, but the five spokes certainly look like they belong there.

For a manual this is firmly NP, the problem is the market is irrational for any v12 Ferrari right now.

sorry, OEM be damned, I love those wheels.

I love the aftermarket wheels.  Very OEM+ look to them.  

You watch MotoGP or WBSK lately? Those onboard cameras are crisp and steady. I can believe this was taken live, and touched up for lighting and colour.

Counterpoint: I think that gauge cluster looks extremely dated. I like the gauges on the Ducati Multistrada much better:

If you get the one with doors you can actually get a top to go with it. But as far as feeling the speed I can vouch for the Vanderhalls.

Are those still a thing? It’s hard to track whether they are an operational concern or not.

A guy asks for something unique and two staff recommend BMWs?!?!?
