Did spirited test drives of all three last Saturday, looking for more of an event car than the tried and true 991TT, which I've put 22k miles on in the past year and a half. Quick notes:
12C Coupe: Ridiculously fast and light. Truly a phenomenal machine, I can't imagine how much better the 650S or 675LT perform. Great exhaust note for a turbo w/ the sport exhaust, better than my 991TT flat 6 w/ fabspeed full. Steering feel was great, suspension was superlative. Interior is ok, nothing special.
458 Coupe: Gorgeous inside and out, as expected, with a nice exhaust note. Handles well. Not fast. In fact, felt pretty damn sluggish compared to my 991TT and the 12C. It's a cruiser, to be seen in.
Huracan: This was a monster. Great interior, with the exception of the worst visibility of the three. Phenomenal sound, brakes, linear NA power. Steering wasn't bad for electric, understeer was there compared to the other two but not as bad as I've read, though I obviously was not on a track. DCT was great.
So basically I ruled out 458 and will either pick up a 12C soon to tide me over for a year or so, or wait a bit and get a Huracan when they start to slide closer to 200.
