Yikes, red doesn't suit it at all!
I like the press shots but not sold on the front TBH.
Side, rear and interior are lovely though. TDF blue for me I think.

Not all Ferraris look good in red!

This is probably the worst culprit.

I like it, but it makes me think of F-Type, Z8, Corvette rear and a Mclaren interior.

None of those are bad cars, but I think they have been careful not to show the front so much.

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.
Agree with you about the GT, the Roma is a vastly more coherent and flowing shape.

Agree with the F-type comparison for the rear 2/3rds. The front reminds me a bit of a Daytona. Impressive kerb weight.

Is it just me or does this new Ferrari look just like the new Aston Martin Vantage ??

Nice to see something from Ferrari that isn't covered in slats and wings and vents.

The profile shot initially made me think A90 Supra (the headlights particularly) but in actually looking at some pictures, I realise I was largely wrong hehe

Here's hoping it's a signal of moving towards making curvaceous cars again scratchchin

Love it, not sold on the old school grille though! Reckon the rear quarter looks very AMG GT on the side view

Hilariously Autocar have just updated their article with a starting price "just over £85,000" which got me gasping but I think they missed a 1 off the front as Shmee has said 200,000 euro in his video wink

Nonsense. Judging by the photos it seems Ferrari looked at Aston Martin and learned.
