    I think I know what you have in mind, but I am still not sold on that (aero) solution:

    Yes, that is one non flying buttress solution and just working as an aero device, but my thinking is that the degree of coverage to the rear window suggests to me that it could change as well and thus maybe channel more air over the rear window and to what appears to be a more defined rear spoiler.

    Very interesting- thank you guys!

    My take on logic and Ferrari: not so much! Sure the 550-575 etc but they often change the rules.

    The tail is very similar to the GTC4 Lusso and it will have four taillights.
    No buttresses.
    Lots of air vents everywhere, new front.

    the rear looks like Lusso for sure. The side profile is F12 with some 599 in there, the front is the big mystery to me??

    Are we expecting same dimensions as F12?

    Is there a LF style central element (fin) there?

    This is getting really interesting.

    Snippets that I've read here and elsewhere seem to say a slightly smaller and lighter car than the F12 - hope it's 800BHP. On another note, I also hear that the RHD models will start production 3rd quarter next year which is earlier than I'd thought.

    Marcel, what's your take on the overall new look for the F12M and will it be slightly smaller and lighter? I think my wish for 800HP is a nice dream!!!

    The spy photos seem to show a pronounced curve on the decklid spoiler. I wouldn't expect the thong lines on the rear fascia but something closer to the gtc4 with the TDF exhaust ports as well...

    As Marcello said: now I'm convinced about the latter option you mentioned too, think will be very interesting to see the integration between aesthetic, aero and past recalling shapes.

    Is this technically feasible on this car?

    Disappointing if accurate IMO. Don't like the rear of the Lusso at all and lots of air vents means the flaps and gills guy is still there. The later pictures look like perhaps still a hatchback and rear quarter windows. Must say that this mule is very well disguised. Rear is more rounded near fenders (boat tail) as the article points out.

    I'm interested in the motor and what changes to the intake and how the look was implemented. I'm sure no plastic intakes like the 488. Having the full 800HP is looking less likely perhaps. Can't wait till shots from Dec get out.

    i think it will follow the roundish and curvy trend applied in f12tdf and 488 gt3

    Yes the void is very pronounced - maybe it's an expanded version of the aero bridge ?
    Also the car cover seems to drop a little behind the rear edge

    Panaromic roof would be my number 1 option to go for. Having that more view outside, whilst being in a hard top would be amazing.
    It also compliments the flowing lines of the rest of the body imho.
    Well done Milano.

    Other than the 4 tail lights, I'm having a tough time imagining anything about this car with it's disguise on.

    A mini vintage Testarossa void behind front wheels, and air intake between the rear quarter windows and the body that will diffuse under the integrated rear spoiler area (think DB-11).
