Ferrari’s 2+2 Flag-Ship car.

By Ferrari’s standards this is a big car With a wheel base of 2949 mm (116.1 in) and an over all length of 4902 mm (193.0 in), this is the longest car they have produced. As such it has some enthusiasts calling this something other tan a true or classic Ferrari. For many, just the Idea of a back seat, strikes them as out of character. The manufacture describes it differently. The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, named for the Modenese designer who mastered the automotive aluminum form, is designed to be the world's finest 2+2 seat sport coupe. In the long-standing tradition of Gran Turismo Ferraris, the goal is accomplished through high tech, avant-garde design. Styling is by Pininfarina, which advances the sports coupe paradigm while paying homage to the famed Ferrari 375MM Coupe commissioned in 1954 for Ingrid Bergman by Roberto Rossellini.Built entirely of aluminum, which provides extremely high structural rigidity while significantly reducing weight, the 612 Scaglietti is a new breed of 2+2 sports cars. Compared with the outgoing 456M, the new 612 Scaglietti weighs 132 pounds less, providing superior handling and road-holding capabilities. A car clearly in a league of its own, the 612 can carry four passengers in comfort and still achieve speeds and cornering forces most sports cars can only dream of

The asking price for this 2 + 2 comes in at a mere $250,509 dollars US.
But of course as with any Ferrari, the base price is just a starting point.

BMW 850i and 850CSi 1989-1999

When most people think of BMW the image that comes to mind is a well- handling luxury automobile.But for those "In-the-know", BMW has a long history of producing some of the finest and fastest cars on the planet.

So when in 1984 when BMW announced plans to release a new "Top of The Line" sports coupe, the automotive world watched carefully. Finally the 850i Showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in '89 and immediately the the automotive publications took notice. It was clear that a new level would be demanded of any car that tried to compete. BMW had clearly thrown the ball back into Mercedes court. With the 850i BMW was saying to Mercedes "Let's see your SL Try to top this!"

BMW never sold too many of the 850s or their lower priced (If you can call $75,000 "Lower Priced") 840 model. But they never expected to, this was their "Flagship" auto and not designed to be common-place of the roads.

There was nothing "Common" about the 850i or the 850CSi reached up to 326 bhp and hit a top speed of 155 mph and a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds.

But the key to the 8 series is the combination of both performance and drivers comfort.
