    650s will be still in production or 675 will replace it?

    Pretty sure the 488GTB "Speciale" will have a faster lap time.

    the 675 lt is the end of the 650/12c line. Every line will have from now on the "long tail" version to be build at the end of it lifecycle.
    But 650s can still be ordered, just don't know for how long.

    the mp14 is the successor somewhere end of 16, beginning of 17 first customer cars.

    Thats all i know

    Disagree, Ferrari very much cares, all the more under the new leadership

    I wasn't a fan of the 650S nose either but it seems to work better with the wider and lower stance of the 675 - in my opinion anyhow. Looks are always subjective.

    Interesting. Also not sure why some folks want to compare forced induction or hybrid power units to NA engines like on the F12. In this case wrong number of cylinders, wrong engine placement and wrong induction. Apples and oranges in every way.

    I wonder how many customers will move from eight to twelve cylinders.

    Well, it's certainly better, but it's still a design that lacks distinction.

    Audi is very proud of their 5 cyl engines...they have been successful over the years.

    Not sure how that will be accepted by Lambo buyers who have a history of V12s and V10s. Of course the Chinese mkt may not care about this at all.

    +488.

    I love my 458 spider and drive Sheila 5 days a week. I take a peek at her in the garage countless times a day and always wish her goodnight before turning in.

    I put more miles on her in a year than these haters do in 3.

    Haters who aren't even on the waitlist and will be pay $25k over sticker for used ones.

    Wait and see.

    My Ferrari master technician is wealth of knowledge. He spent all afternoon one on one with me at the dealership when I took delivery of Sheila. I accidentally activated the windshield washer jets with the top down. He didn't even blink when the water drizzled on us lmao.

    So everyone who has a different opinion to you is a "hater"? How old are you, 14?

    Even if the 488 Spider sounds as good:

    Last of Pinan styling
    Last of 9000 rpm redline
    Last of na V8
    Love the 458 diamond polished wheels...will they fit the 488?
    No mech problems. Best Ferrari i ever owned.

    Not impossible to switch but not likely.

    Best

    Nope. I'm not willing to make an assessment until I drive one in the flesh. I'm not on here raving about the 488 nor am I hating on it.

    We all learned how ignorant you are from the Gumball thread.

    Enjoy your Cars and Coffee in your Ferrari track suit.

    Well I wouldn't refer to your fax machine as feminine.

    Agreed. Sound is a critical part of the Ferrari experience. The F40 sounds great, especially with a Tubi exhaust. I hope Ferrari make an effort to make the 488 sound properly lustful.
