    Looks British.
    I prefer the original design.

    probably inferior aerodynamically and crazy expensive but i think it looks better in a simply design retro way and non ferrari color

    I'm sorry, but that is a bag of barf (IMHO of course).

    I'm glad of all those comments.

    I don't see the purpose of those cars.

    If you like vintage design, just buy vintage cars.

    Be nice guys :) ... Yep, I'd much rather have an F12 but like any car show that I go to (and I take my Ferraris to many) I see plenty of cool cars, none of which I'd like to drive home though, but pretty to look at. It reminds me of a Corvette owner here in the Toledo area that has a fairly new Vette but with a very old vintage body. It always looks cool pulling in, then I realize it is not what it seems to be then I move on. This car though is pretty, just not as pretty as an F12.

    Looks Zagato. Just needs a double bubble top!

    Exactly my thought. I like it a lot! The placement of the vent running along the bottom of the door is curious and seems out of place.

    Quite like it, the side has California T hints in the front. Would prefer the F12 in a heartbeat, however this is far more beautiful to look at in contrast to the robot vomit Mansory throws at an F12... It's not my style but I do like it.

    Zagato would have done it better!

    IMO the stock F12 is overdone but this is the opposite, a bit too bland. Anyway, I'd give it a thumbs up.

    I think the 456 GT was also involved in that group sex orgy.

    Touring, Zagato, bertone are genuine coachbuilders, from the very noble automotive tradition .

    Impossible to compare with that "tuning" company called mansory, wich is essentially a supercar ruining contest.

    I don't like that Touring car, but that remains a very noble coachbuilt Ferrari.

    I think Mr Mansory should think about his own life and start another business

    The rear design just went a decade into the past. Just buy a 612.

    Missed opportunity. This looks like a Zagato AC378 and not as great either. Why make a one off/small run of cars if it is to copy something that is not even 10 years old and clearly not an hommage?

    I like it! Like the F12 a bit better, but this is quite nice.

    It's kind of cool. The front grill definitely looks aston inspired or it just ended up looking like that. The rear is 60's retro. In a non bmw looking blue, I think it might have some merit. Like a dark metallic grey.
