the f12 looks the best of the bunch I think

imo the styling on the new car is really nice which is vital because as you say the performance has become basically pointless now imo
Think the problem with the F12 was getting the power down. Couldn’t believe how much they improved this for the 812 and probably moved it on again with the new car. Staggering grip levels on the newer cars adds to the enjoyment imo but agree they’ve reached the limit of what is useable outright performance wise.

Does anyone think the name of the new car is a passing dig at Aston because there isn't a V12 engine in their DB12? Similar to the last gen car being called the Superfast when Aston called theirs the Superleggera

Looks are always subjective, I’ve just bought an 812 GTS in yellow and I think it looks amazing, I also like the F12 and 12Cilindri but not as much. People post opinions on looks like they are factually correct, and then everyone gets emotional ??. The one thing that’s difficult to argue with is your point around these cars not needing any more power. It’s the first car I’ve owned where using full throttle is a terrifying rarity. It’s such fun but genuinely unsettling, especially if the tyres are not hot. Anyway, long live the Ferrari V12 in all its forms, they are such great additions to the world.

There might not be a V12 in the DB12 (yet) but there is the new Vanquish.

Anyone got an actual slot?
My dealer has kindly confirmed I can have a coupe.
Just wondering, if I can get one then is it bad news! smile

Was offered Coupe or Spider slot after seeing the car. Turned them both down as can’t get past the looks. Believe Coupe slots easier to get as Spider release at same time.

Yep, got one - it's even showing on the MyFerrari app now.

I'm confirmed for coupe but trying to switch to Spider I think. Still not sure, flying out to Maranello on Tuesday to see the car.
