    Hmmm. Not liking that. Wheels remind me of the 512M, which is not a good thing.

    However, in a dark colour and with different wheels I may feel differently.

    Have they shortened up the back end from the F12?

    I really dislike the shooting brake thing.

    The LaF isn't a V12?

    LaF is a hybrid, they add the electric motor hp.

    Solved. 789hp = 800ps

    So 812 means 800ps 12 cylinder.

    AFAIK the first time Ferrari has used such a numbering system. But disregarding tradition is their favourite game, as is selling out their heritage by calling it a Superfast.

    No, from this angle, the back looks way too short and high. I'd like to see the rear 3/4 view first, then I'll trash it.

    Yes they should have called it the Superfast GT America California Lusso. Soon there'll be an Omologato version.

    Idiot.

    789hp is the same as the V12 in the LaF makes.

    Stick to OHOS. :p

    Correct.

    So Ferrari will sell that ugly HOS to the public, but they won't sell the best looking car they've made in 20 years:

    Pininfarina not involved at all apparently: Ferrari No Longer Sells a Car Designed by Pininfarina

    I think that rear end is a mess, there's nothing elegant or attractive about it. In fact the whole thing is a backwards step from the F12. And really, did anyone need more power?

    I can only assume they had last minute cooling issues for the transaxle and had to hurriedly add more vents. A ricer custom house would have done a better job.

    Good news for F12 long term values...
