Wrong.

Saw a white one early July. I have a pic to proove, but it's on FB and FB is blocked at work.

Nice spot though!

Those stop traffic in the most amazing way possible.
I saw one in France on the Champ-élysées (hey it takes the french accents :eek: ) not too long ago and it was blacked out with black rims as well. Sooo hot, heres one to that's close to what I saw.

There were a handful of people taking pics of it, while the orange gallardo behind it didn't phase anyone.

Yep, the guy's had that white one since last year. I remember seeing it downtown last summer.

Here's a thread with a spot on it:

Personally I like the white better, but this is the first S automatic I've seen. Not fast by today's standards, but certainly quick and definitely beautiful!

Maybe it's the first S Auto then? i don't know, just what I was told.

I don't see the point of what type of transmission. Automatics = bitch box.

I have the first this color or interior color or whatever.

He was beat by a year. He can try to say he has the "first" car in Calgary, and we'll laugh at him like the guy that posts "first" on whatever blog.

Meh I saw like 4-5 of these when the Ferrari Dealership opened up.

Was it a 2009? Which is his point I think? There's a white one in Sasso that's been there for at least 2 years... Except are these cars even that fast? I know nothing about them. I just know they look fucking hot as hell!!!

Cambioscorsa Coupe ran until 06.

This new GranTurismo replaced the Cambiocorsa, and was released in 2007, and the Granturismo S was realsed in 2008.

GT = V8 engine, delivering 405HP,

GT S = V8 producing 433HP

Your right it's a hot car. First one in Calgary? Nope. Its a 3 year old car.....

Yes and no. Depends on your intended use.

Dragrace - no
Roadrace - not in stock form
Covering lots of road very quickly (grand touring) - absolutely

In stock form, the suspension is soft, throttle response is lazy, and you feel isolated from the road. Properly modded, these can make it around the track pretty well (considering their weight).

The basic Granturismo is pretty short on grunt, and its a fairly heavy car. It wont win any speed races. Its still pretty quick, its just not mind blowingly fast.

Granturismo S fixes that problem I believe.
