    That is an architecture diagram.

    Has nothing to do with taking your V12 out and leaving it at home when you go to the grocery store!

    I’m not sure wha Ferrari would think an acceptable number of likes would be in 13 hours. But I do know my kids would be happy with 400+ likes.... but not ecstatic. No post on Instagram or the website? Or did I miss it?

    They gathered a thousand more till now but I don't care because their teaser is really mediocre. Puffy words instead of one or two meaty facts about the car. :/

    I would think so. The Alfa 4c is that way.

    Some expect a reveal at Geneva.
    Alfa did promise a “surprise”...

    The windscreen and side window profile looks very similar to the BB spy photos which leads me to believe it's a shared platform. If true, the BB will in fact have a carbon monocoque and a similar powertrain configuration. However, combined HP of 'only' 700 would suggest a V6 ICE. The BB could instead use a variant of the Pista V8 and more powerful front axle motors to achieve the rumored 900 HP.

    I need to paraphrase Ferrari's teaser and say that the moment is still not here. :(

    Even LaFerrari is not full carbon, it has alluminium subframes front and aft.

    The question is if they'll use "real" carbon fiber or mass injected cf like Lamborghini or McLaren.

    I'd just like to know what will happen to the 4C, a car I fell in love with it the moment AR unveiled it. Will we get a 2.0 version as promised back in 2017? Will it really go out of production for the monocoque approval issues, as mentioned a few months ago?

    About the teaser video, I'd expect one before 6 PM (less than 3 hours from now). We'll see what happens.

    This is some very good triangulation on your part, makes a lot of sense and could well be the case. Well done there. Keep it coming!

    I'm sure something comes out today, the video teaser, as announced, or something like that. Total silence on the official facebook page, before evening publish something about it definitely.

    From another forum:

    Sounds like it will have a new steering wheel and some very minor changes that are "brand new", but insignificant.

    Wheel and round air vents (with the red accent as seen in the teaser pic) from the 812SF, possibly a few other changes here and there. Not expecting anything revolutionary.
