Repost.......................................................by about 12 months!

Phil Hills son now owns it....tough life..

 

Yeah there is something special about a OHOS F12 full of sticky interior bits than the latest and greatest from Ferrari.

UK imported. Wonder if that is 91k kms or 91k miles: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ferrari-360-2003/SSE-AD-4561934/?Cr=0 I want the bloody seats!

 

Is it just me or do those headlights and engine bay look terrible?

 

The car is in excellent condition according to the owner.

 

An F12 is an OHOS now? Talk about a tough crowd!

 

He's a LWV8C, his opinion doesn't matter

 

That company is a sad story [like Bertone] once the founder past and the son died in a motorycle accident, they lost manufacture, all went pear shape and sold to India.

Italians lost many great design houses:

Pininfarina
Bertone
Italdesign
Ghia

If Enzo was around he would have purchased it.

Need somebody to step up and "Make Italy Great Again"

 

LOVE the motor in it "12 cylinders or walk"

Can you get a clear bonnet as a cheap $50k option?

When i was recently in Italy was going to hire a F12, but i had a passenger so had to hire a California.

 

V12 Gentlemen would never choose such a vulgar thing.

 

LOL, I mistakeningly took F12 for meaning front engined V12 (550, 575 etc).

 

Thanks Ian that explains it, what was their last design?

 

Here are some results from Paris today.

Agreed. The 456GT has NO sticky prone bits.

 

Sorted.

 

I think the F12.

 

Eeewwwwwww

 

Cool, I wonder if it was cost cutting that stopped it or the internal design aeronautical heads got their way? new designs are a but to fussy even IMO or are they panda.ring to the new Chinese market ( read really fussy stuff) , heaven forbid did I just write that...

 

So the 488 was designed by Indians?

 

Pretty sure the 458 was the last Ferrari designed by Pininfarina.

The 488 and F12 were designed in house by Ferrari.

After Pininfarina gave them the beautiful 458 design. lol

 

F12 was a Pininfarina design and the last production V12 they designed for Ferrari. The La Ferrari was an in house design. The 458 was the last production V8 designed by Pininfarina.

 

You had me thinking about this so I just looked it up and it looks like the F12 was designed in house by Ferrari.

LaFerrari was in house Ferrari also.

488 was in house Ferrari also.

458 by Pininfarina.

It says "in collaboration with Pininfarina"

Knowing how the politics work in Ferrari, I'd bet that PF did the majority of the work.

You only have to look at the 812's butt to know how capable Ferrari's inhouse designers are
