Gets the hairs on the back of neck standing to attention, doesn’t it?

We love the way that V8 note gets ever more metallic and hard-edged as it barrels towards the 9,000rpm redline. And those upshifts through the double-clutch gearbox sound mighty smooth and quick, don’t they?

This car has a real good sound. I m wainting for the Frankfurt motor show to see the Itália. The images and sound in the movie are on the official site of Ferrari. The movie it´s just what are in the site. The guy who made the movie it´s rubbish. "Fisrt Comment"
