    its probably just a side mirror with blinkers, but it could be a side view of the front end, as i recall the spy pics had a hint of daytonesque styling.

    Wow-if the picture on the right is the new car...I think it is awful looking. Why did Ferrari even show that prototype anyway. They should have crushed it.

    Jeeze, I hope the suspension is mule-specific as well-- from what I have seen (the last picture in this thread, and the test track photos) this thing likes to lean! I'll take a sub-par design with minimal body roll over the inverse of that, any day of the week.

    Oh who am I kidding, F's suspensions will get softer and softer, I'm buying an Exige. ;)

    Have you tried the 430S? That might be an option

    I talked at length to someone last night who said it was shown at the Chicago Auto show to US dealers (after cameras and cell phones were grabbed). The rear lights are said to be not round, but vertical shapes. Maybe they are playing on the California GT rear look. The front evidently has a lot of 599 flavor to it.

    I don't want to say any more, and respect the moderator's guidance.

    The first pics of the car done up in deforming panels makes it look something like the Nissan GT-R LOL .... I think what is really going on is the Italians are making fun of the Japs design by taping a bunch of ugly panels to the car and driving it around...only thing is the driver doesnt have spiky hair and short sleeves with tons of stickers on the side door....

    I think it looks great with roof closed. The seats look completely new as well. The wheels are even growing on me. I do not think Ferrari will have any problems selling this car.

    Have to say I like the closed look (just as well as I've ordered one :) ) room in the rear looks not bad in the overhead shot but I reckon the front seats are all the way forward, I've been told the 2+ means you can get one person in sideways!

    well well well....looks small cabriolet. Beautifull in front and profil i can t say the same from the rear.
    also, i think strange that Ferrari adopted the hood retractable, used more by generalist constructors.
    They must to be more creative in dept design.

    waiting more pictures for inside car.

    If you pop the top at a stop light, the person behind is going to freak out! It looks like the entire back end of the car comes unglued and moves rearward. This may have some explanation as to the "stacked" exhaust and some of the unusual details at the rear. They may need the room for the top or the folding.

    Can't see enough of the interior yet..... Still hate the wheels.... not sure how useable the rear seats are yet.....but, overall I think it's going to be a winner.
