    I haven’t driven the 750S, but had a quick go in both the 296GTB with the adaptive suspension, and the Assetto Fiorano trim. The track-biased suspension is noticeably more communicative, and the car steers with more confident. Definitely it’s the driver’s choice between the two trims. Other than that, the 296 is incredibly fast at all times. The torque-fill is seamless and the gear shift is lightning quick. The bar is indeed set very very high. A big step ahead from the 488 and the F8 Tributo.

      I absolutely agree with the paint... the blue interior IMO is actually sick, if the car was either completely argento nurburgring with that blue interior, or, argento nurburgring with the AC matching blue exterior accents (minus the wheels, too much there) it would actually look stunning.....but.... IDK if you've actually looked into the 296, it's capabilities and it's powerplant, but the thing is literally a unicorn.... it's one of those cars that's so good, it's being kinda overlooked, like people think the SF90 is the top mid engined offering currently from Ferrari.... that's what Ferrari wants you to believe as well, but they clearly made a mistake with the 296, it's F'ing phenomenal. I've seen it beat the SF90 both in the ¼ and the ½ mile, sure it doesn't have the sheer lateral grip as the SF90 for tracks like the Ring, but it still ran a sub 7 minute time, and IMO, is the superior "everyday" supercar. Definitely wouldn't take a 488 over it....sure the 488 is gorgeous, but the 296 is literally the direct evolution of the Dino 206/246, I actually think if they would've called it the Dino it would've been even more lusted after.

    The 720S has already shown to be producing close to 800hp on the dyno. So the 750S in reality will be putting out well north of 800hp, and therefore is very close to the 296 GTB in terms of outright power.

    This resembles the 296 that JayEmm drove and discovered that spectators did not resent it. He credited the weird color scheme for reminding people of AntMan or SpiderMan that spared him from ugly side conversations. He said people resent these cars and their drivers. He ended up liking the color scheme as well as the car. It is different looking and requires getting used to. People who own cars like this probably get bored having to fill out order forms for the same old red and black combo every time they buy a new Ferraris.

    He's wrong in saying that 750S front springs rates being stiffer than 720S. Actually front track is is wider and softer (for improved front end bite) this is combined with stiffer rear spring rates to reduce understeer.
    720S was inclined to understeer on the limit more than some of its fast customers would like, when combined with its max boost lag, that car was prone to frustrate in power down mid/out corner scenarios.
    All these type of cars come with some degree of build in understeer (as it makes easier to control for an average punter), its just 720S came in for some criticism (although nowhere near as much as Huracan LP610s did)

    The Ferrari Assetto Fiorano pack in blue body, yellow accents looks fantastic but you can't have a suspension lifter with this version, it costs more and the ride is harder (as mentioned). The wings on the front splitter are great though and it's a shame you can't spec this on a non AF version. Overall I think the car leans towards elegance and the accents detract from this. I've just bought the none AF version. Great review. The McLaren was tempting.
