    sound is very important factor for me, why Ferrari don't build great sounding car with twelve cylinder engine without roof? I know that there is SA Aperta but sorry this car is a little too expensive, for this price range you can have older generation of Zonda,
    customers don't want Ferraris like this?

    Before I purchased my 599 GTB, I almost went with a Murcielago roadster for this very reason. If the Lambo actually had a real folding top, I might have one in my garage rather than the 599.

    This is something I don't understand with the f12 it would be no big deal to put a folding hardtop like the california on it ... it would be a home run .....
    I bet they do it ..... before the run is over....

    I agree. I have no information but I just have a gut feeling they will do something with the F12. I think it would be a big success.

    I hope that it will be unlimited car with fair price (like price ratio between 458 coupe and spyder) It's don't even need to have electric roof just simple two panels like in Carrera GT.

    Buy a 550 Barchetta. Purist expression of Ferrari, IMO.

    If prediction are correct, both California replacement and 458 replacement will be turbocharged, then it's another argument for this to start production of unlimited Ferrari V12 without roof

    That car, how ever good it is, only works in places with lots of sunshine, little rain and even less crime IMO.

    Basically Monaco in summer.

    Not in Enzo's opinion.

    I don't think thats a crazy question at all.

    I think Enzo would have liked any car that makes him money and I also think he liked cars that could scare you a bit. The Barchetta was/ is/ capable of both.
