You see, the problem with the 911 is there's a variety to choose from; on top of that, you have to choose whether you want it in coupe or cabriolet form. Then you need to pick, do you want it in four-wheel drive or rear wheel drive. Lastly you need to select the equipment list you want: Should I get the Sport Chrono pack? What rims do I want? How do I specify the interior?

You know where I’m going at here. To be able to own three to five different cars would be the stuff of dreams! But realistically speaking this is Singapore, where all car enthusiasts are considered as pests to the authorities; hence car prices are ridiculously high, cost of keeping even just one car could make one cry at times and unfortunately, majority of us could only afford one car, and one car only for every task. To the, perhaps, 30 percent or so who could afford to have more than one car here in Singapore, you fellas are a really fortunate lot.

The 488 Pista Spider sets a new benchmark for Ferrari, for spider performance, made possible thanks to the adoption of the most powerful Ferrari V8 engine ever which was recently named Best Engine in the World for the third consecutive year at the 2018 International Engine of the Year awards. The 3,902 cc twin-turbo V8 unleashes 710 bhp @ 8,000 rpm/770 Nm @ 3,000 rpm and combines that power with increasing torque at all engine speeds for continuous and unending acceleration all the way to the redline. Standstill to 100 km/h takes 2.85 seconds, while 0-200 km/h needs only 8 seconds; maximum speed is rated at 340 km/h.
