A beauty. That colour is sublime aswell.

Is it just me that thinks the white Italian plate makes it?! White plates at the back look much better than our urine yellows.

I think you're dehydrated - drink more water.

I love it! Huge huge fan of the FF, a very underrated car I think, so hopefully this will be even better.

This would probably be one of my first supercar purchases if I ever won the Euro Millions (fingers crossed!). Love it.

The article says:

"Some clever jiggery pokery inside means a 15mm gain in length has been made into a 16mm increase in rear legroom"

I'm no engineer, but the 1mm difference sounds less like 'clever jiggery pokery' and more like coincidence to me....

Exactly this. Also in the real world (as opposed to the CAD measurements) wouldn't the variance in seat foam, leather thickness on the seat and front seat back account for more than 1mm?

I think it looks much better than the FF. Too big to fit in my garage though!

Yikes. That's blooming awful.

How anyone could choose to use the word "elegant" to describe this monstrosity is beyond me.

Seems like I'm in the minority here though...

In my opinion, this makes the outgoing FF look seriously old and outdated by a long way. This looks a decade plus newer and fresher.

Disagree. Cars like this and Merc CLS look brilliant in their first iteration - a ground up new car, for a niche or segment that didnt exit. First time they got it right in every aspect, but then they have to follow the typical German evolution rather than revolution and so we end up with something that has to look like the original but also has to be new. This not always works.

Imo, the FF, like the original CLS, is a timeless classic, in terms of design at least.

Really? The changes look very minor to me, the overall look of the car hasn't altered. Similar headlights, similar grill, similar(ish) wing vents, similar roof line, similar front and rear wheel arches/lines, different rear lights, different side/door lines, different rear window/C-pillar. It certainly doesn't mark out as being from a different 'design decade' or something.

Its a yes from me. That test car is pretty much the spec I'd choose too.

If I had the requisite funding, I'd have one on a heartbeat. cloud9
