The C250 is a very fine respectable platform also, it just got a lowly drivetrain.

They got the same cost ratio, the Ferrari is just 10 times more, but they are playing the same game.

C250: $35k -----> C63 Black: $125k

599 GTB: $350k ------->599XX Evoluzione $1.7 millions

I think the 599XX Evoluzione and FXX Evoluzione looks hideous, but they are extremely cool performance car.

I recently saw a black c63 that was gloss black and I thought it was one of the hottest cars on the planet.

That is a hot car! I always wondered how difficult it was to keep matte paint in good shape.

I believe it is difficult. I just saw a dirty matte white E92 M3 on the street that looks horrible.
