    Sounds like anything but a Ferrari. Noise rather than sound if you get the idea. Same when AMG lost the 6.2 and went turbo. yes there is still noise, but not the spine tingling magic of old. Go get a Speciale or 430 Scud, or failing that keep your 458. The last of a breed.

    New car will be mad fast, Mclaren warp speed, will shock with abilities and be a truly great automotive achievement. It will have no shortage of buyers. But for some, it will no longer hit the mark, though more than likely that will be the minority of customers. F12 all the way in that case.

    On your video, I know it's a v12, I just don't know which one. Next, on the 650s sound, if ipe can change the sound to make it louder like that one, then they should be able to make the 458 successor louder also.

    Confimed?

    As posted, Ferrari tend to be random with when they pull the covers off. FWIW the majority of the #wordsarenotenough photos have either been posted at precisely 11:00 or 16:00.

    I think it was updated in last few hours, so there is no need to feel stupid.

    Before it said something like -1 day, discover tomorrow or something like this.

    It doesn't need to be louder...

    IPE doesn't change the sound that much. Louder yes, but not really any different. Even the 12C can get annoyingly loud on the inside and high revs. I don't see how this Ferrari would be any different.

    Is there supposed to be any really unique turbo tech in this car? I noticed their Twitter material says:

    You have #POWER when you want it: immediately #WORDSARENOTENOUGH

    I highly doubt it's any kind of electrically augmented set-up, but I wonder if they are just trying to talk up the lack of lag in the turbos.
