Nice to see an F12 without that horrific looking rear end smile

Why call it TDf though?

The 250 TDF was named after the race, this has nothing to do with that race.

Just a marketing thing....again. It'll sell like hot cakes.

What next an F12 'Daytona'?
But car names are 100% marketing...

Oh I agree, but the original car was marketed because of the racing success and actually raced in the race.

This can has no connection to the race, so is just marketed without any substance, is what I mean.

Yup, just like that.

Its a shame, the originals are now so valuable because of their history, what will these have aside from rarity only?

hmmmm

somebodies been using the Audi photocopier design system again.
It's an interesting resemblance. The Ferrari is the more dramatic of the two, though.

It is wicked. A fantasy. And exquisitely resolved.

There is, of course, a substantial cost for that superior design. And the engineering and fitment that go with it. For the price of the Italian, you can buy five of the American. A different colour for each day!

Those air intake above the rear wheels ruin it for me. Looks naff.

No doubt functional, but also inspired by the 275 GTB/C

I love classic Ferrari's but the modern ones have been lacking since the 355 (for me anyway). However, this and the 488... Just yes.
