Ferrari F12 based Touring Superleggera Aero 3 review. 730bhp, V12 show-stopper

This Touring Aero 3 is the first of fifteen planned examples being built by Touring Superleggera in Milan. Based on either a Ferrari F12 or 812 Superfast, this ultra exclusive supercar celebrates the great streamlined racers built by Touring back in the thirties. In this video, I delve into Touring Superleggera's history file and take this amazing car for a drive on some of my favourite roads..

[@roadie3124]

I know what you mean by "vacuum cleaners" and it's tragic. One of my long-term clients (1997 to 2015) was a couple of hundred metres from the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix track - just across the road. It got noisy in March. Sitting at the back of the building, we could hear the howling F1 engines in practice sessions. If you went out to the street, the howling engines could compress your ribs and make your body shake. Magnificent. Then, one year, I stood outside the building and heard a muted, burbling noise like a failed fart. This was the new F1. Kitten and puppy videos are more exciting.

That’s because he is a real car guy, not just focused on speed or how it looks! It’s statement and about what can and has been achieved, a unique (almost) piece of engineering and craftsmanship, yes it will split opinions, good design should, the owner likes it, so who cares.

[@davebest5624]

He likes his Alfas or Alfa-connected cars. Couldn’t agree more. Alfa should build cars like this and leave Ferrari for dead.

This video was so good to watch and I think I have found a new car marker to love and appreciate along with Ferrari Alfa Lancia Maserati Fiat and Lamborghini! Today there aren't many things we Italians can be proud of but in terms of car making, I am proud to say MADE IN ITALY! 💚🤍💘🏎

I agree, as fast and unique as it is, there are some suspect design touches. the wheels are a bit 'drug dealer', the doors look like theyve been kicked in. The back end belongs on a 50s le mans car. Too much design for designs sake to try and justify the price?
