0-124mph in 9.8 seconds... ok, so it's fair to say it nips on then? 
Edit... I'm not a huge fan of the wheels or the matt body bits to be honest, would prefer laquered but suppose that adds weight. Apart from that though, I think its fantastiche!!
Cheers,
Grant

you can ALWAYS buy another f40, you wont get many chances to buy a gt2rs at the right price! i do think the recent (relatively) f40 price hike has plattoed out
like lee said, the enzo owners are the luckiest, highest appreciating modern car! i

We were very fortunate to have one come into our dealership, that went to a very well known person, STUNNING bit of kit. Amazing car.... and funded elsewhere!

Nice car. But is it really £100K more than a 997 GT2 and a bit of fettling at 9FF/Gemballa/Techart?
£200K willl get you a nice. SLR, CLK Black, SL Black, Aston DBS, Carrera GT, Early Zonda. Maybe a XJ220 or a Koengsegg. A 640 Murci and "probably" an original (and best) 993 GT2. And if you are (mental and) prepared to wait a few years a McLaren MP4-12C.
Oh, and to whoever above said about Carbon Ceramics (think of the discs as like chipboard. Lots of Carbon and ceramic material squashed together.) lasting the lifetime. Not quite, Discs "should" last, but they invariably don't. (Glazing and cracks being common) And pads wear even faster than normal steel versions.

Anyone bold enough to confirm that this car would be a good investment?
I'm toying with a second property, but the idea of buying one of these to either
a) store in a carcoon thing
b) drive very low miles, once in a blue moon
does appeal quite a lot
Anyone know if this is the next Enzo, investment wise?
Seriously...

Gareth - because they want the finance income from the car as well as the sales profit.

not even close to an Enzo. Its just not special enough really.
But I don't think you will loose that much.
mind you... look at 996 GT2's... ouch!
Thats a cheap car to buy now and keep and look after though
