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.

Daytona hints on the front - nice. Toyota Supra rear end - not so nice.

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.
Erm.... because Ferrari now has 2 hybrid models, the Ferrari CEO said a while ago that 60% of their models will be hybrid by next year, so PH thought it was worth mentioning that this isn't hybrid as some people thought it might be. You know, to inform readers about the car.

That’s a beautiful car and not ridiculously priced. It’s just how do you get to buy one when Ferrari has their usual policy of offering cars to certain people only and even then you have to buy and keep other cars to get to the one you want
Spider will be half a million euros by the time its specced up to the usual amounts.

In line with cars like the Revuelto but still well beyond reach for most.

Its not a limited edition model. You may have to wait several years to get one though.

Don't think I'm that keen on that. But I'm sure once some better pics come out, or I see one on the road, it'll grow on me.

But honestly, it looks a bit too fussy for me. The F12 still looks better. Saying 5that though, the 550 looks even better.

First reaction was I didn’t quite like it, but after looking at it in more detail I have to admit it is quite stunning, especially the spider.

I think it is stunning!

The coupe that is. The convertible looks a little awkward in the pics. No doubt it will look better in the flesh.

Yup, liking that a lot. Lottery car of course but very glad it exists and they went a little bolder on the styling

Surprised at such retro nods on a production car, rather than some limited special.

The front is fine, but think rear would look nice being able to paint the black on the coupe and on the GtS the black just looks plain weird, seemingly serving no purpose.

(Photoshop magic anyone? See what they’d look like without)

Dislike the interior, especially this trend of dual screens for the passenger. Too fussy.

Thanks. Agreed. That's a shame. I hadn't looked that far.

Despite being bowled over by the looks I suppose any imagined lottery win could be spent on an older Ferrari with a better interior.

First Ferrari that I've liked in years.
Love the fact that it's not a mass of sharp angles and vents.
Rear window does look strange. but it may look better in the flesh than in photos.

I like everything except for the roof. That's clumsy.

Also, the name. I am Italian and I expect to hear struggling English speaking journous calling it everything but its real name.

I love the "does what it says on the tin" -ness of it. Like the Quattroporte.

Of course, that logic followed to the end will give us the Maserati Breakidowni and Ferrari FixiExpensivo.

No doubt it’ll be a wonderful steer but, sadly, the coupe looks like an all-too familiar cliché: a Chinese start-up‘s bland BEV GT concept. While the rear-end sets a new benchmark for (non-)style over substance.

Which is great for owners of F12s and 812s, hereafter known as “the last handsome Ferrari V12 coupes” – shurley their prices will now swiftly firm / rise?

Convertible 12C looks OK, but only if panel between headlights is body coloured. Wheels are bland, needs all-silver rims off an F12 TdF.

All-digital / touchscreen / haptic-only cabin represents cynical cost-cutting and, in turn, is downmarket compared to Aston, Lexus, McLaren, Pagani, et al – and the F12 / 812.

New V12 Vanquish, please. (And please don’t feck it up by merely producing a DB12 with a bodykit and an even bigger grille.)

Maybe I'm mental, but the front reminds me of the Rover SD1. hehe

Damn, hadn't noticed that it abbreviates to 12C. Bet Ron Dennis is chuffed.
