Let's dream a little about a 812 aperta https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/16583793_179540912537998_6820829024382615552_n.jpg ____________________________________________________ The first one makes me see a great potential in Tdf blue. https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/16789895_640705996127841_8190122296938070016_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTQ1NDUwMTY5OTY2MjA4MTM5Mg%3D%3D.2
Schoolboy error!! ;-) Having said that a trailer made to match the GTC lusso might tickle some fancies but would make me retch! 🤓
What makes cutting the top off such an amazing 800 BHP 4WS car appetising ? My SA is shaky imagine how 812 would be wobble wise. Totally ruined.
Yes it did - the grill finish and the rear diffuser paint I think will change the character of the front and back views. Combine this with a black gloss roof (giving the appearance of a lower centre of gravity from the side ) together with painted /airbrushed larger shields should provide a balanced distinctive appearance , but risking busying the details too much -again , seeing her in the flesh will confirm whether I actually like what I've described in person , or whether I slap my forehead in frustration at a messed up opportunity .....
maybe for it's best track time performance due to lessor torsional rigidity. Would it matter for 99% of street driving ? No, not in my estimation. I drive my F12B around with the windows down to enjoy the glorious exhaust note. I can't help but think how much greater that note would be with no top.
Since I am old-school, I had to mount traditional front grille on 812 SF Red render https://s18.postimg.org/ob5odblnd/712_superfast_by_tessoart_01.jpg Black render https://s18.postimg.org/g6xk8kz89/712_superfast_by_tessoart_02.jpg
red ... blue .... red .... blue aaaarrrggghhh - its messing with my head. Geneva cant come quick enough
IMHO as long as Ferrari does not move to a carbon tub the open top versions will always be compromised - heavier and shaky.
I think the design does not look good as a straight forward drop top- they need the roof line. Therefore, if they did an Aperta, they would need to do something somewhat along the lines of the 599 SAA and F60 America. That could be amazing! Have you tried the V12 convertibles? They tend to be more rigid. I would think such a car would not be as bad as you are worried about.
Agree. With the exception of the F50 (which has a carbon tub with a non-structural roof), every open F-car I've driven leaves you wanting more rigidity. Especially on the less than smooth roads where I am.
Wow! The black one looks really good. If its not too much trouble, could you do a render in either Blu Corsa or Blu Mirabeau? I can't decide which color I like better because one is more vibrant (Corsa) and the other is a little more gentle (Mirabeau). I wonder if the gentle Mirabeau might work with the harder lines better.
Usually I am not taking special requests, but since I`ve had blue one already in layers, here you go https://s2.postimg.org/sm2pfp8tl/812blue.jpg

Thanks for posting. They were posted on page 15 of the thread but at least we don't have to look back to find them!
