Interesting that video. IMO it looks dreadful in white, it appear to be in undercoat and the colour takes all the life and drama out of the shape making it look heavy and bloated. The other colours shown more fleetingly in the video look great particularly the gunmetal. so that one will do thank you very much Sig Camilleri.

Goes to have a dibble on the Euro lotto.getmecoat

Yes ... it's just you unless you are talking about the colour and the vague similarity around the headlights..

One is a mid-engine 2 seat supercar, the other is a front engine 2+? GT car.

Aside from the grille, that is a very pretty car - the first properly pretty Ferrari for a long while, and also a good looking, non-blingy interior. Bravissimo, Ferrari, and what took you so long?!

It's almost a beautiful car, but not quite. That kickup under the passenger compartment is too much - it looks like the car's received a violent impact underneath, which has divided the car into two halves; the front is slim and low, but the rear is a bit dumpy by comparison, with too much metal over the wheel arch.

It would have been far better to have a continuous line, forming a very slight arch between the wheels, a bit like the AM only more so.

That front perforated grill looks awful in the white (as does the car generally) and I'm not sure it's much better in more muted colors, which may explain why so few of the publicity pics feature a frontal shot.

The kickup is similar on the Portofino and I agree that the effect is as you describe. The first time I saw a Portofino I wondered what had happened to it.

You really are a pathetic, jealous person aren't you.

Believe it or not some people in this world have better cars than you and some have better cars than me.

Named 'Universo Ferrari' - this is your exclusive opportunity to join us to experience the past, present and future of Ferrari in a stunning environment; a purpose built experience at Ferrari's own Pista di Fiorano circuit… along with a very exclusive Private Viewing.

You and a guest (sharing a hotel room) can visit a superb structure constructed specifically for this event. Ferrari reserves exclusive opportunities for its international clientele to see its latest models in private viewings. Universo Ferrari will feature areas covering all aspects of the company's activities, from classic cars to racing, in addition to the current model range.


Of special interest to visitors will be the chance to see the SF90 Stradale - Ferrari's new series-production supercar hybrid - on its European Premiere; a rare occasion for the public to take a closer look at the latest Ferrari outside an international motor show.

Event Details

We recommend the below flights:

2nd September - 08:00 British Airways from London Heathrow to Bologna.

3rd September - 12:05 British Airways from Bologna to London Heathrow.

Our team will meet you at Bologna Airport upon your arrival and will provide a private coach to the hotel where you will check in and then head to Universo Ferrari for your unique experience, followed by a coach transfer back to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

The next morning, a private coach will take you back to Bologna Airport for the flight home.
