what a ridiculous statement. I hope it handles well and shakes up the 991 dominated segment. but I doubt many people would 'hate to be a 650S owner'. I am certain most on here would love to be just such an owner!
Its just more 650S goading, don't worry about it. Its becoming a sport for green eyed posters. If they slag it off enough they think they might be able to afford one one day 
Nothing gets close to the suspension set up in the 650S IMHO. How was it described - "having the ride quality of a Rolls Royce in a supercar"
Not doubt the poster thinks the leaf springs on his steed are superior

Now now Mike it's a perfectly valid thing to say, the 650S deserves all the hate it gets because...<drumroll>
IT'S NOT A FERRARI!!!!

Of course the biggest potential revelatation from the 570S, will be if it handles much better on its conventional 
suspension!!
That will really throw the cat amongst the pigeons, and I'd hate to be a 650S owner then!!

I've driven a 650S and its a great car, can't fault it in fact, my tongue in cheek comment (notice the smilie?) was aimed at someone who's fingernails are currently screeching down the blackboard of potential depreciation in every thread he pops up in...
In fact he does it in a good humoured manner, and doesn't seem to get too upset with the quips he gets...

Thread resurrection here and confirmation that last but one poster was indeed correct, but has anyone else heard that Ferrari are currently running 1.5L V6 Turbo hybrid mules around as the successor to the 488?

I can't get this swan thing out of my head now especially after the photo's of the white one.
Everytime I look at the headlights its so obviously a swan. When I look at the 650S the longer and thinner headlights make it less noticeable.
Not sure its a good thing on the 570S and they certainly went a bit too far with the wings down the side. Still trying to find the webbed feet ?
