    Love that blue - especially on a 612 - simply stunning.

    The 612 is looking better and better over time. It's design is just pure class.

    Excellent.

    I usually upload on IPad, however I don't think that this makes an issue.

    I agree definitely getting better with age.

    Having stated this, it still has some disproportionate angles.

    Such as this one below. The nose looks too long and a little low.

    This pic too shows a poor angle.

    Both photos also display how the front wheels should have been further back and not so close to the front bumper. (Probably the biggest aesthetic deign flaw)...

    I do love the pontoon fenders, it's what makes the 612 unique. And the much-loved 599 has a similar, yet much more subtle pontoon design.

    For me, the most awkward part of the car is the rear deck. It's as if the designers called it quits a week before the car was actually finished.

    The 612 would be 'complete' in my eye if it had a very similar rear deck as a 599 or even a 575. If only I had photoshop skills to validate that!

    If you moved the wheels back they would be under the engine and it would wreck the balance of the car

    I understand that.... However, I am sure something different could have been done in hind sight.

    Wow, gorgeous Blue on a gorgeous car! Congrats on such a beauty.

    The 612 will always be one of my favorite PF designs:elegant and just different enough to fly well under the radar. And TdF is one of the really good colors for the car in my opinion. But my favorite is still Rubino Micalizatto. Loved that car and hope its still being driven hard and enjoyed by its current owner.

    The best color on a 612, hands down. Wish I had that or Fiorano. Gorgeous. Like mine, love yours(formerly).

    You can get partway there with GTO wheels and the Ferrari 599 factory accessory GTO grille kit.

    I know, however I absolutely love the 599 and I think that they are perfect for what they do.

    On the other hand, the GTO is also perfect, it just does a slightly different job!
