Poser owner is a poser.
Not a Performante (because it's a coupe), & not even a Superleggera to begin with, either.

Safety Car
I had a suspicion too, but only because I never see those kind of cars in my area; just a Bentley here and there; and its probably the same Bentley. Something seemed a little off about it, but I couldn't put my finger on it and honestly if you asked me to distinguish a real one from a poser car I probably wouldn't be able to do it with much confidence. but decided to post anyway to see what y'all said.
So is the car I posted a "Kit car"?

What am I missing here? The Performante is a convertible soft-top. ^That isn't.

Think 3G TL section where someone put Type-S A-Spec badges on a base TL.
In fact, I did have a moment of doubt that it may have been a Superleggera with the stripes removed & changed exhaust b/c I couldn't make out the side badge, but CL's video re-affirmed me it does indeed have the LP560-4 badge.

Evil Mazda Driver
This has been my so-called "Ferris Bueller" weekend where I took four days off from work for some high-quality 'me' time. I had to run up to Tacoma, Washington to pick up a part for my traffic signal controller and decided to indulge in the exotic car dealerships the Seattle area has to offer. Park Place Limited in Bellevue has Aston Martin on one side of the street with the trifecta of Bentley/Rolls-Royce/Lamborghini on the other side. The guy at the Aston Martin store was super cool and let me sit in the cars but the Bentley/RR/Lambo guys were kind snobbish and douchey but that's almost expected. One guy behind the desk had absolutely no sense of humor while the other treated me as though I were invisible. Makes me wonder if they would have treated me any differently if somebody worth hundreds of millions came in dressed in jeans and a T-shirt like I did.
Guy traded this one in after only 380 miles. Said to them, "It's a nice car but it's not what I'm looking for."
Across the street...
Love the Countach-esque taillights on the Aventador.
This was in their 'used' section.
After burning up Park Place, I headed a few blocks down to DeLorean Motor Company Northwest where the owner, Toby, showed me this 1982 model with only 13,155 original miles and it's clearly been garaged since day one. Gah! Wish I could afford it.
