    I wouldnt insult Peter Steven's masterpiece like that.

    The Veneno is too much (although fun to look at) but I think the Aventador is honestly one of the best Lamborghini designs in a long time. Its a very taut and focused car but still wild looking like a proper Lamborghini. The way the cutlines and spoilers are integrated is very clever.

    I need to see the car again, out in the sunlight, in order to make up my mind 100%. My first impression is that I do not like it. Too vulgar in my view.
    The rear is the only part of the car that I think is well designed. The side view is appalling and I am amazed people like it more than the Enzo. The Enzo is less cluttered than the LaFerrari which in my opinion looks as if designed by a committee

    I am sure that it is an amazing drive but it is not classically beautiful. It is not another 288GTO, or even F40. When the P1 came out I also dismissed it as vulgar. However it is almost restrained in comparison to this

    I guess the showy look and the appalling name are typical of the client market Ferrari targets now.
    Can you see many 250 SWB or 250 LM owners dreaming of owning a car called LaFerrari? Would anyone who drives his 500 Superfast or 250 Lusso during weekends, be seen dead in a car as ostentatious as this?

    I should shut up now as I may well end up with one. In any case it sounds like I am in a tiny minorty of LaFerrari sceptics!

    No better than a GTR.

    I just had to say it.

    Anyway, this is the hottest Ferrari yet. Love everything but the feminine name.

    In my book F12 Berlinetta is most beautiful car that you can currently buy from Ferrari. My vision of Ferrari is related to sculptural shaping of car. I can find that on F12 Berlinetta and on 458 Italia as well. This probably sounds crazy to most people, but I would pick F12 over LaFerrari. Of course, I would like to try LF, but I dont feel lust.

    Have to say George, it looks a bit... disproportional in the pics, that front doesn't look as though it belongs to the rest of the car, however, I still can't forget my initial reaction after seeing the model in Paris and the car at Maranello, I was stunned, found it beautiful and faultless. I just think its the fact it's not photogenic...

    I've submitted my request, if I'm approved I will happily take it, if not, I will happily keep the Enzo.

    Best

    I would say the F12 is a very close second -- and I agree with what you say.

    It seems I'm not the only one that doesn't really like it that much.
    I'll say it again, this is how the headlights should have looked like

    Mayor, about the red colour thing:

    Rosso corsa as a pastel colour is not particularly deep or rich. May look good or very good in many circumstances but in most of them a metallic shade will look richer and deeper.

    So funny, I hated it when I saw it at the Factory, now I live it! The car youve pictured is a stunner!

    Weird, it's seeming the other what for La Ferrari... Humm, I just don't know my mind anymore :)

    I just don't think the proportions can be appreciated in pics, the roof is so low in real life, so much so you don't realise until you stand alongside it. The front doesn't seem so LONGGGGGGG in the carbon either, the car just flows better in person

    I'm guessing that most 250 SWB/Lusso/Superfast owners could not exit this car. Your profile says you want one :)

    This car will go down as an EPIC Ferrari like the F40 is still so beloved. I just showed this car to some people on my facebook page who don't give a damn about cars like that and every one of them were all wowed and floored at how "beautiful" this car is.

    When I first saw the pictures of the Enzo I was disappointed but when you see the Enzo in person you're in awe of it because you can see every detail and what Ferrari was trying to accomplish.

    This car has blown my mind in pictures, the last Ferrari to really do it for me in pictures was the 458, I'll probably orgasm when I see this in person.

    Well, the F12 is classically beautiful, even though a lot of aero is at play. LaFerrari is a) shaped in the windtunnel and b) meant to look meaner and more exotic. Different plates for different tastes.

    That thing is even more of a mess.
    The 458 is the best one currently.

    Can someone photoshop an image of the ferrari and put a rear wing on it, and neutralize the air schoops in the hood of the car. Also if you could transform the glass motor casing into like body colored flaps i think that would look amazing...

    And has anyone noticed the car has what appears to be a DIGITAL DASHBOARD DISPLAY!!!

    Sometimes I wonder who buys those tuner styled cars.
