Interesting, I would like to know how much they are going to be. I am not sure I like it? when I saw the 488 I loved it right away, I already loved the 458 and thought the 488 was a and thought it looked even better in the flesh. I don't like the wheels or the front, however in person it might be a different matter.

I have a friend working at Geneva so will ask him to take some pics.

I like it but the aero at each end makes it a bit untidy or interesting or purposeful, depending on your PoV. But certainly looks the part compared to my 488 GTB which is ever so slightly girlie.

Autocar talks about a new 7 inch display but no sign of it in the pix.

I’m sure Ferrari don’t need to price match McLaren, so my guess is it will be £220-230k before options which means most invoices will be over £250k. That’s assuming Brexit doesn’t affect the price.

We’ll see.

A far cry from my F355 which cost me £90k in 1995 and which I do still have. Doing the North Coast 500 in it in April.

Looks similar to Pista, sounds like it performs better and should also be much cheaper scratchchin

Dry weight of F8T is 1330kg vs 1280kg for the Pista. Guess the Pista retains its track focused edge. No idea on price differential or volume numbers.

Have to say not impressed with the rear styling at all. It rather reminds of the final update to the Lotus Esprit when they replaced the traditional oblong lights with a pair of round lights. Never looked right. As for the interior I thought it was supposed to get a central touch screen. Not impressed at all. I would assume the power increase has been done to compensate for the power loss of the fitting of EGPF which is required to meet future Euro and China emissions. If this is the case I am sure it is not using the expensive Pista components, If it does have EGPF fitted it will be interesting how it sounds. As well as sapping power EGPF kills the exhaust sound.
