William from Gowanloch Ducati was telling me about this car so I tracked it down – Pretty & Nasty – What a masterpiece!.
With Ducati’s 1198 motor providing motive force, it’s sleek, elegant and enticing. This car could break your heart and put it back together again in a single breath.
Superlative ! ! ! Hope I get to see and hear it one day. BTW, love the Spartan Helmet Logo.
