I expect 2manycars has one on order already. Looks lovely IMO.
Haha yes I do. I’m in Rome tomorrow to see it in the metal. Already bought the plate too.

I love Pistonheads for many reasons, this is one of them! biggrin


a bit like a movie, really hehe

one of those examples of how the internet and social media bring about an utter collapse in the degrees of separation

What colour did you go for? Hopefully a colour unlike the car above! I think it looks great - and i'm not usually a fan of modern cars.

I’ve not specced it yet as they’ve only just released it today. But I know I’ll be getting mine in summer 2020 so I’ve just bought this plate.



It’ll go nicely with my 812 GTS plate which is this



I’m thinking it’ll suit a triple layer colour like yellow, blue or white though.

Part of a return to elegance for Ferrari I hope.
More curves, less creases and slats.
Looks promising.

Other car makes, please take note.

yes I was starting to dispair of Ferrari ever producing another classically beautiful car, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. Probably the best looking Ferrari since the 355 to my eyes.

Wonder what the pricing will be ? It’s a much nicer looking car than a DB11....much more expensive I am sure but it looks fantastic

First Ferrari in a while that is so gorgeous...restrained and elegant. A great design.

I haven’t properly wanted a Ferrari for nigh-on 10 years, but by God I’m going to my local Fezza dealer tomorrow to see what he can do for me. This thing is stunning.
I don't find it particularly impressive.

Finally, a grownup Ferrari. With a decent interior, and smooth skin on the outside. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh.

Side profile of the bonnet is just sensational/sexual. Clean design, no fuss. I’d prefer round rear lamps though.

Looks nice - and if that is really Kerb weight, then I am quite excited about it

And Ferrari seems to have realized that most of their cars look better without shields (or my eyes are playing tricks due to the small phone screen)

the new car did not represent "a derivative or a replacement [of an existing] model"
Front mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 2+ coupe sounds a bit Portofino-derivative to me.

McLaren cues for the headlights and the central console.

Aston Martin (Zagato) cues for the rear lights.

Ferrari greenhouse and haunches.

I think you could literally bet the house it will be vastly heavier than '1470kg kerbweight'....

I guess I’m in the minority but it’s looks awkward to me. It isn’t as handsome as a Conti GT or as good looking as a DBS. If you took the Ferrari badge off it looks like it could have come from almost anyone.
