that is the worst looking Ferrari i have ever seen! The front looks like they have taken design tips from Citroen and the VW Golf, its horrid. The less i say about the rear the better, them 3 tailpipes are pathetic looking.

Apart from the bonnet looking like it was taken from the Scirocco it is a gorgeous car...


...from some angles. From others it looks more ordinary than I expected. From a low front quarter view it looks stunning, like a red silk sheet billowing over those gorgeous wheels.


Prepare for six months hailing the best Ferrari ever. And what in God's name will they do to create a track version?

I've got to ask, are you blind?

That is absolutely breathtaking design!

Three tailpipes are a hark back to the F40, dude!

Blindness doesn't come into it, its hideous. If i wanted a car that made me look like King Of The Chav's i'd buy an R8.

Its absolutely stunning in the flesh........especially in yellow.

The photo's are good, but they don't do it justice. The front end looks great, the side profile is incredible, especially with no huge scoops and the back end purposeful.

Going to be in the 11's qtr mile with 0-200kmh in about 10-11 seconds. Its 599GTB quick.

About the same as a new Datsun with a remap then

11.05 at 124.79 at Santa Pod was done this week with an off the shelf remap, not even custom tuned, otherwise completely standard car.

I know it is rude to compare a Ferrari's quarter mile times and they are supposed to be more live living things, but it is still amusing.

Have to say, I think I'd prefer the new McLaren MP4-12C.

I think the ferraris cabin is too large in relation to the rest of it.

3 weeks on of looking at this car and it still looks ****ing ****e to me. It'll also age badly with its "LED/Audi" front lights. Chavs with money will love it thou!

Take out your tissues...

...or not!!

The driving and noise is fabulous - but seeing the car moving as designed makes me think it is a bit council house at Christmas at the front-end. It is very VW/Audi-esque in these videos.

Tissues at the ready

There's a couple of photos from my trip to the motor show last week.
It looks very pretty in the flesh, much better than in that video above. I think it'll make the F430 look old very quickly once you see one on the road.
