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

Ditto.

First beautiful and classy looking modern Ferrari in a while.

[AmosMoses]

Can I have mine with a V12 please?

I really like it,it reminds me of the Aston Martin DB10/11.

That side profile has a more than a hint of 365 GTB/4 (Daytona) about it.

Definitely this. My first thought on seeing the side profile was "Daytona", mind I was just reading the Miami Vice thread on TV/Movies board so that might have triggered me!

If only Aston had made the new Vantage a re-badged DB10 then Ferrari would not have been able to come in and steal their thunder. Ferrari's take on a Jag/Aston Martin in my opinion, which is no bad thing. A modern day 456 without the 2 + 2 seating.

Beautiful car, seems to have a sibling in the AM range of cars

I'm liking that a lot. Nice to see a car with curves rather than slashes, creases, and straight lines, which seams to be the default of most car manufacturers these days.

As others have said, it's got a lot of F-Type about it.

I'm not that keen on the interior though. I don't think the central partition works. Could feel claustrophobic, and you're detached from your passenger.

That's wonderful.

Front engined V8 GT. Subtle and elegant styling. What's not to like.

Subtle and elegant is certainly not something you could accuse most recent Ferrari designs of, brash and blingy would be my description a real return to Ferrari being a car to admire when parked almost as a work of art. Beautiful.

Quite. I'm a Ferrari fan through and through but some of them have got a little 'fussy' to say the least.

[Hitch]

A pretty Ferrari! It's been too long.

[Finlandese]

I hope that this doesen´t mean that they killed the vastly better looking Maserati Alfieri.

[pb8g09]

Love it. But this doesn’t compare to the Maserati Grandturismo- these will not be for sale for £30k in 5 years time like the Maser. Which means I will never be able to justify sadly.....


Euromillions tomorrow....

[ocrx8]

Maybe it’s just the press photos - but the car looks a little underwheeled to me. Otherwise, thumbs up.

[Steh]

Very nice but hints of Aston at the front and jag at the rear

The outline is almost identical!!

[Luckeh]

Looks like a modern Jaguar F-type. Especially the R version which has pipes on the corners.

First thought is ... it's rather AMG GT in profile.

This comparison just confirms for me how dumpy and awkward the GT is. Not so bad in convertible form. I'm sure it's great to drive but it really isn't something I'd look at and smile as I walked up to it.

As someone else said this is the first Ferrari I've really lusted after since the 355. Well apart from the FF, which is gorgeous too.

I think you've summarised that rather well.

Let us hope it sounds like a Ferrari too - they'd lost all of the musicality in exchange for flatulence.

[Xaero]

I would have guessed Aston Martin looking at it if I didn't know. Being in silver probably doesn't help either. I also thought it looked a little like the new Supra.

It's a great looking car, doesn't scream modern Ferrari though.
