Sounds right. I did see this...

Optimistically rated at 164 horsepower and 164 kilograms (361 pounds) dry for a 1:1 metric power-to-weight ratio, the DB7R puts something like 138 real-deal ponies to the pavement. With 4.7 gallons of super-unleaded in its carbon-fiber fuel tank, the 'Rosso registered 414 lbs. wet on our scales-13 lighter than a proletarian DB7 and 10 less than a 1098R. Admittedly, Bologna's full-house 163-horse Testastretta Evoluzione engine is significantly more muscular, but only because Ducati won't provide Rimini with anything more potent than the standard-issue 1099cc twin. Still, give this devil his due.

bit like a nymphomaniac supermodel, you want her so bad but you know it'll never be long term. She'll break your heart and cost you ever dime you got in the end...
