Well here it is - the 720S

What's this as I can't tell certainly looks like a 720 but I could be wrong

570GT (I think)

They made a big deal about no external air scoops on P14/720S at the reveal. Yes the air is channeled through a second skin on the door, you can see the recess with the door up.

PS. Cabin is very light and airy, much larger feel inside than you'd expect for this sort of thing.

570GT - similar sloping rear window but has bodycoloured side scoop and doors

As for ring lap times, do these actually translate into sales at the end of the day? The posted Huracan lap time is impressive if the that is the car that will actually be delivered to a customer, but I do wonder how compromised it will be as a streetcar.

The 720s is not a limited production special, if you can afford it anyone can buy one. Lets wait for the 720LT before we start talking about how it compares lap time wise

They do translate if you're the kind of buyer who loves shouting about how AMAZING your car is and SO much better than ANYTHING else....until it gets beaten.
That Performante though, or anything that does well at the ring, I'd have thought won't be compromised THAT for the street much...The Nurburgring isn't glass smooth...
From what I've read around here this Hurucan is not a limited production run either..in as much as when they reach 500 they won't stop. They're building them slow, but if you can afford you can ask.... If when production ceases they've only had time to make 500, I'm not sure how that is different is but anyway...

It's even better in the flesh.

I think they need to start ditching that orange colour - not doing the F1 team any favours either

Agreed - the white car at the reveal was nice but I think darker colours will suit better (at least to my eye)

Look at the amount of crowing by the lambo crowd now. And indeed mclaren were no better with their BS about the P1's ring time to be fair. Amazing what people will believe when they have some kind of vested interest with regards to what the manufacturer says.

Looking forward to seeing all the new models,720S,GT3 and Performante,will be good to see them all in the flesh close up without any camo.

So much for the curtains in Geneva.

I hope it looks better in the flesh because it's looks hideous there.

Shades of the Pagani Huayra.

[MDL111]

I really hope that front/light cluster looks better when seeing it in person.

[cheddar]

Looks are subjective of course, eye of the beholder and all but the rear haunches look to big for the wheels and that 'non headlight' arrangement is challenging.

Bet it's a hoot to drive though

That's a valid assessment - I think you are right about you.

The Alfa is awesome. The 720 is anything but to my eyes.

[Sway]

Blimey. That doesn't look great to my eyes at all.

Really, really hope it looks significantly better in the flesh.

[Uncle Ron]

It definitely looks better in the flesh! The front end light setup makes more sense IRL, particularly when your feet are on the same floor as the car.
