Default next German bruiser for Gaddafi?

Pete - this has got to be perfect for you:

You previously raved about the joy of the V12 in your Daimler, and you love your current German uber-mobile and all the toys it has.

This should combine everything you like - monster engine with lots and lots of cylinders, every toy you could possibly forget how to use, already suffered 44k of depreciation, free servicing included - what are you waiting for???

Going for new? Are they talking in years rather than months then?

Just like they said in the Megafactories program on the 599.

I guess if you want to order from the factory, and they've got enough customers prepared to pay and wait that time, then your only alt is 2nd hand, or to pay a premium to a speculator (which I cannot imagine you wanting to do)?

So how long for a Lambo Gallardo Spyder? I see Clarkson has ordered one, despite agreeing the Fezza is better:
