    Car is amazing, but stats are not that great. Aero "magic" is not there, judging by downforce weight.

    O.K., I completely revise my previous assessment! That looks fantastic in the video. It's CGI and not a real car, of course, but one presumes it looks accurate. Great, aggressive update to the 488.

    No shields on car render in this video. Interesting.

    This confirms that the next 488 will be the one severely track oriented :)

    I like it without shields. But then again I'm biased, as one of my Speciales is a sans-shield car. I have to say, I like this car more than I thought I would.

    Yes, but the comparison should be done against 488 GTB and LaFerrari :)

    Another HOME RUN for Ferrari! I really like it and I'm sure it even looks better in person just like the GTB!

    Not at all. Not enough aero, not enough power/weight, only better tyres.

    Me too (re: no shields). Took a bit for it to occur to me that it was "missing" them.

    Wish the car had center lock wheels but otherwise I like the look/design a lot.

    The front is pretty terrible. Ferrari saw the weakpoint of the 720S design and decided to out-do Mclaren I guess.

    I think the Pista is breathtaking, and a marked visual improvement over the 488 GTB (which is a great looking car)! I will say that the reactions to the Pista's looks on FerrariChat are far better than they were to the 458 Speciale's on its reveal day.

    Also the Italian pronunciation of "pissed", which also suits?

    And I'm in the LOVE THE FRONT camp! I find it to be an improvement to the standard GTB's. Also, comparisons to the Ford GT's front are no insult in my book. The GT is a wonderful looking (and performing) car.

    All I can say is I want one and the car looks and sounds great. I love the name, its straight to the point. Though its early, to my eyes the car looks both tough, even a little brutal, and also beautiful in all the details. There are a lot of details I think are not coming through here. I think when there are better pics, and then when people see the car in real life, it will be even more appreciated. The car is the street legal embodiment of their GT3 and Challenge efforts, and more than all the stats, of which it has and are very impressive, its about the emotional connection between man and machine. I am very impressed!

    Which part of this car is “Active” ? Just Active diffuser? Like the GTB? Anything else?
