MotorTrend - F12 Berlinetta comparo against MT's best driver's car

Jonny really liked the E63 wagon!

“As for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, that's much harder to say. The engine and transmission are as good as cars get, but I didn't find the big GT all that predictable. Considering the ludicrous speeds the F12's capable of, a lack of predictability is not a good thing. I think the F12 would have finished below the GTR (sixth) but above the Aston Martin Vanquish (eighth). What I'm really struggling with is whether or not the F12 goes above or below the E63 AMG Wagon. Part of me says higher, but the part of me that remembers the station wagon confidently putting all of its power down to the tarmac is saying no.”Jonny Lieberman, Senior Features Editor

That they even include a station wagon in a test with pure sports cars is a serious compliment.

And you can buy about four E63 Wagons for the cost of the Berlinetta.
