RE: New Ferrari 12Cilindri is 812 Superfast successor

[Kipsrs]

Love the look of the spyder but I’m not to sure about the coupe . .

[Snubs]

Don't like the black at the front and back at all. Reminds me of the 296 and SF90 which looks great until you slap on the awful decals:



Could be a good looking car with more body coloured panels.

Like the Spider a lot, rear of the coupe a bit challenging in those pics. Like the front a lot as I was never a fan of the elongated front lights (which they took to the extreme with the 812 imo). I expected a higher price, nice to see they did not go crazy on that.

[Skeptisk]

Hard to complain about a 6.5l NA V12. I am not sure about the styling. Not that I am currently in the market for one. I just ordered a new 170 mph weekend toy for less than a lot of individual options on this.

I like the early Daytona styling hints at the front…… but what went wrong when they came to style the back half of the car?
Coupe might look less bad in black….but then again with the blacked out glass rear window it might look too van like and I doubt you can option clear glass.
I would have to go for that green spyder, but take it to the local wrap shop to have the black glass and plastic area at the back wrapped in body colour.

Pity they bashed the rear haunch reversing that grigio spyder - now looks a bit Corsa.

Or is it an aerodynamic trick?

Otherwise, I think I'd like it as a 90% scale model.

What are the other 3 dimensions??

[Portofino]

That’s stunning. Will look amazing on the road.

I'm not a particular fan of the latest Ferrari design language. The 296 looks pretty nice, but I don't think the SF90 or the Parisandwich look good.
The styling looks better on this, particularly on the GTS.

I felt like I'd want to see it with the black bodywork bits body-coloured, but looking at it a bit more I don't think it would look as good.
Well done Ferrari!

Hate to say it but that is not a pretty car. F12 was peak v12 Ferrari for me styling wise.

That engine sounds unbelievable though. "With a Ferrari, you pay for the engine, the rest is thrown in for free...."

The bike lot have this, they call it six axis though. I think they just mean positive and negative in X,Y and Z. Or they're counting pitch, yaw and roll also

[McRors]

Wow! If only I had the money. Well done, Ferrari.

[carinaman]

That rear third quarter view of the red car with the haunches and leaning in upper flanks looks Corvette like to me in a good way.

Love the front, reminds me of my favourite car, the Rover SD1.

I understand the first three are linear movement in each dimension, and the second three are rotation around the three axes i.e. roll, pitch and yaw.

Outside I think it looks great, but inside I think it's way too modern and generic. It's fine, but to me it comes across as functional rather than beautiful.
Compare this to the interior of an F12. The F12 looked great when it was launched, it looks great now, and it'll look great in 20 years time; whereas I think this cabin will end up looking dated.

Got to love Ferrari. They remain peak car IMO.

[BigChiefmuffinAgain]

That looks lovely, though with this and the 296, Ferrari seem to be getting hung up on two tone designs which seem a bit unnecessary...

[Killer2005]

I'll take the Spyder please

[WPA]

Love the Daytona front and prefer the spider but daft name.

[Jader1973]

What the fk is wrong with PH these days? Why does an article about a new V12 Ferrari have to include any references to hybrids and EVs?

Anyway, thank fk this isn’t electric or hybrid.
