    "The first in a new generation of V12 cars" This does not sound like a farewell. Let the V12 flags wave. Forza Ferrari.

    I believe that that is optional, so no need to worry.

    We have to be careful with these press photos. They are Photoshopped like the girls of the fashion magazines. The wheels look bigger, in a real car these probably would be 22 inches with spacers. And maybe the roof is a bit lowered.

    We have to see real photos yet.

    No, I think the wheels are correct. The only thing may be the ride height for Euro vs US standards.

    Ferrari´s look always better in an outdoors taken quick snapshot then in carefully staged studiopictures.

    Maybe.

    But in the 458 press photos, the car was "digitally" lowered and with spacers, specially at the back.

    Again, Euro vs US specs you're seeing. US cars are higher. It's an easy fix if that's what's bothering you.

    You can bet that Euro 458s are not so LOW as the one we saw in the first photos. And the rear wheels don´t protrude so much.

    Just compare the first studio photos with the "real" ones. You cannot trust a photo anymore, specially if it´s a photo of a lady or a car.

    I think the fender lines are simply different than what was shown in the stying model. Thankfully not an Aston Martin right angle.

    Agreed. It's a subtle mimic of the 458 rear 3/4's.

    The passenger digital display is absolutely horrible/ridiculous. Hopefully this can be deleted as an option, correct?

    The F12 should have its own section along the FF now and away from 612/599.

    I think you're right. The new F12 has more in common with the FF than the older 599.

    LOOKS LIKE A DA'GUM VETTE!

    /// just kidding ;)


    I love it. Homerun in my book. Very well done Ferrari. I'd love to have one in black. :cool:

    I especially like the lines on the rear and the F1 rain/caution light.

    I like it. IF you are riding in someone else's car an they are driving aggressively it could be cool to see the data.
