    And again.

    Thanks for the Matte look, makes it look dead unfortunately to my eyes and almost plastic. Maybe it is is better in the flesh.

    Incidentally, I am becoming DCMs official photo poster but thanks for digging all these shots up

    We make a good team ahah

    I asked a friend to make a 30 second P-shop to see how it looks with aerobridges in body color...

    It's a very quick made Pshop

    We need to see a real life picture. Among 799 there will be at least one ordered like that.

    It's interesting how the different colours show of different parts. The metallics seem to show the subtlety of the lines a lot more. This pic shows how pronounced the hood lines are running to the front in comparisons with the aero bridge runways.

    The flat colours tend to show of the features better and make it look more sporty v elegant. The white one really highlights the race inspired rear windscreens. It's amazing how little of the standard f12 is left in the tdf.

    Ferrari strayed as much as they could using the same platform but, other than to a designers eye, its sure looks undeniably an F12. I don't think they wanted a really different look such as the SP versions. They wanted more edgier and less elegant which is typical of recent Ferrari specials based on PF original bodywork.

    Damn, that has to be rosso Scuderia? Really pops. Awesome.
    Without the aero bridge in carbon/black it looks a lot cleaner. Love it.

    The car is amazing and I think while based on F12 it stands much further apart from the base model than the other special models from the past.

    Still deciding whether Matte carbon over Gloss. Extreme machines like the sublime TRS use Matte while the gloss feels more appropriate on a large luxury sedan?

    IMO, the only thing that makes carbon recognizable is that brilliant finish. If you remove it it looks like average plastic. I really can't stand mate carbon. Before dying I'd like to see a 599 GTo with all the exterior carbon in Gloss Carbon like found on the Scuderia.

    I think Scuderia has the best exterior carbon finish. Carbon that looks like carbon.

    Been quoted £ 6000 for "average plastic". dc, you're not making it easy for me :)

    Matte just looks like plastic. It's kind of ironic that to add carbon fibre costs more of a standard f12 while some on the tdf owners are going the other way:). It's also like some huayra owners speccing their cars in matte with some of the most beautiful carbon fibre finishes being hidden by primer;).

    What's quite interesting in this image is seeing how the rear looks without the carbon strip as black effectively hides that detail. To me the strip disguises the overall height and provides a more elegant proportion.

    I know some have been questioning it, not me, but here's your chance to see.

    Did you go to the presentation and see it in the flesh? It does look amazing in the yellow, far better than I thought it would.
