'Official' F12M Rumours and Launch

Given recent history, I think we will be lucky if we see a few clients cars then.

 

Yes I know what you mean. Very flaky on timetables.

 

Anyone else going to be at the Factory on February 2?

 

That's my 16M, but the color is Rosso Fuoco. My Speciale is Rosso Coburn, which is similar in that it's a triple layer, but more red in the base coat than Fuoco (see attached).

That is a beautiful colour - I think much nicer than Fucco because it's more red.

You're right. Those are his 16M Fuoco car. Was in a hurry and apparently used the wrong pictures, so apologies. But still great looking.

 

Very nice indeed

 

Do you have any pictures of the 16M and Speciale next to each other? Would be great to see how the two colors compare.

 

+1

 

Yes, I am there for the afternoon presentation on the 2nd. Should be terrific.

 

I too will be there in the afternoon.

 

Ron, I can't keep up...!! Seems like an exciting new car is in the offing...

 

I look forward to meeting you.

 

Any new pics of test cars around Maranello from Ludovic Manchon or other?

 

Hmmm think I'd rather have Ingegnere's reveal more than the mule pics. Would like to see his final version before some see the actual car early February - he does such good work.

 

Be so funny after our thread here if it is tweaked to 760 BHP and not much else !

waiting for new pictures I made this with photoshop

Thanks to Ingegnere.. i'm started from his hints

 

I spot some design cues from the Touring Berlinetta Lusso.

 

Very nice rendering!

 

Nice render Alberto. Only comments are that don't think the scoop in rear fender is there and at the front I expect tdf/J50 winglet of some kind.

 

Yes, I expect the front something like tdf and J50..
as regards the rear fender, this screenshot probably shows something...

Very nice and professional rendering. I think you have hit upon the main elements of the new design!

Looking forward to the debut at Geneva

 

If anyone sneaks a picture at the launch make sure nobody is in the background that's how they identified the Aperta leak on the yellow car !

Not that any of us would abuse our privileged invite !

 

I don't think that quarter window shape is real, must be padding underneath.

Quarter window is pretty much what you see in latest prototypes. The line from the front fender top vent (which can be seen clearly through the gaps in the early "winter coat" camo cars) either blends out in the door, or continues to the leading edge of quarter window scoop.

Re-posting my first mark-up of prototype plus update with new possibilities:

Imagine the meltdown it would be if the car came with a 760 hp small displacement turbo V12 and body changes similar to the difference between the 550 and 575.
