Goodwood 612

[rico]

Went to Goodwood today and saw in the metal the new 612scag.

It looks gorgeous. I hated the pics and still do but seeing it in the metal... by god thats a handsome car. The lights look great too...

am i or do others that have viewed it in person agree?

Saw it in thye flesh at the wharf show last week.... sorry but its not an elegant or pretty car. Maybe red will do it justice - guess I'll find out tommorrow!

It looks like its been hit repeatedly by the ugly stick

The front lights are a disgrace -- look like some sort of odd reptile thing

[Davey S1]

I saw it at Goodwood and thought it looked better in the metal than in pictures but it just looks ugly and uncomfortable compared with the DB9.

Carrera GT on the other hand looked superb

Certainly wouldnt pay 100k+ over a late 456 for it, I know that for sure.

[markburnt]

Those front wheels look tiny!!!!!

[trackdemon]

I did't find out - no hill run due to gearbox problems, nowhere to be seen in s'car paddock. Still looks awful in that pic

[Andrew Richmond]

still.............

I thought it looked fantastic in the flesh.

Elegant and understated in a way red Ferraris haven't since the 60's.

All IMHO of course...

I agree it looked far better in the metal than in pictures ... not 100% convinced by the headlights though ....

I thought it looked fine, but was disturbed to find it as big as an SLR (in fact it seemed to haver a higher boot line than the merc!).

DB9 gorgeous, but if I had to have one to keep then it would be the SLR...

Big up to the Rollcentre Mosler too - had a great chat with the engineer with it - my first time at goodwood and I see what it's about - getting to chat cars with knowledgable and intereting people!

Top car fo the day Maserati 450S from 1957 - 200mph in the most gorgeous body! Priceless!

I thought it looked much better in the metal than in pics, still would'nt pay 170K for it though!

I loved it. You have to accept that it is a solution to a problem (needing 4 seats), but it is fantastic - if I had the money I would have one on order, no question.

I was at the Galleria Ferrari a couple of weeks ago and they have a gunmetal grey coloured one as the centrepiece of the 2+2 display in the 'amphitheatre' shaped room.

Stood next to it and couldn't get over the sheer size of it - Not too pretty to my eyes though

Saw this at Goodwood also and like others it looks better in the flesh....Doesn't do much for me but like the Tamora & Gallardo, it is growing on me.

The performance stats are very impressive for such a big car....still prefer the shape of the 360 but fuk me, what I'd give to have rear seats in it now and then...

[Raks]

I think the Quattroporte has it with this.

Hit. Nail. Head.
