Consider buying a Ferrari

Now. As I wrote last time, I am considering buying something for the third unit following BMW and Porsche.

To be honest, I wanted Ferrari's "Portofino" in the most realistic way. This is because there are three children, so even if the back seats are small, if four people can be seated, it will be possible to carry a "driver + three children", which will greatly increase the practicality. Aside from the debate about whether or not to demand practicality from supercars, it is still expensive at home, and it is unavoidable to demand practicality (laughs).

Since I often go through the intersection of Iikura, I thought "If you go to see Ferrari, Rosso", so I went to talk to Rosso Scuderia @ Roppongi shortly after Portofino was announced. I did! (After the official announcement, not the announcement in Japan)

Very congratulations to the Ferraris lined up in red and white (laughs). Somehow, the popular color was red or white.

When I asked him what would happen if he booked Portofino now, he replied, "From now on, it may be about two years from now." That's right ~, it's too late for us because it's an action after thinking "I want it" ...

I wanted a third one right now, but I thought I couldn't wait for two years, but the dealer said, "While waiting for Portofino, the first thing to do is to ride a second-hand Ferrari. How is it? " So that's it. ← What an amateur (laughs).

So, as a Ferrari beginner, it would be "California" or "California T", so I compared both cars ... and it was "California T" that resonated with my home.

After all, this can also accommodate 4 people (laughs), and you can get it right away! There was an exhibition of red and white California T on that day, and although the white looks cool, the inside is beige. This time, I didn't want the beige interior, so I'll examine the red one for the time being.

The interior is also black and red, which is quite cool. Furthermore, because it is a right-hand drive, when you try to ride it, it feels like it is easier to drive (than the left-hand drive)! It's really a sensualism, but for some reason Ferrari felt that it was easier to drive with the right-hand drive (I have at least 10 years of driving history with the left-hand drive? I'm not saying it's easy!).

Well, it's annoying. But really, the California T seems to be usable in a very good way (compared to Urakan, McLaren, etc.), and it is very attractive to be able to ride four people.

By the way, the cars on display in the showroom had batteries connected to them, but the appearance of the cars being charged makes them look cute (laughs). No matter how cool and cool the supercar is, when it's charged, it says, "It's kind of cute. It needs to be charged" (laughs). Is this an emotion that doesn't make sense to men (laughs)?

I have a BMW i3 in the parking lot where I park my Porsche, as if the i3 was always charging with a wire out of the front grill, it was "charging with a cord in my nose" I can see it, and I always smile at the cuteness of its appearance (laughs). That was a digression ... But I'm sure there is someone who sympathizes with the code from the nose of this i3! !! Isn't it (laughs)?

The selection of the third unit will continue ...
