    I noticed the size of the windshield also. It looks so wide I even imagined that maybe this was a 3-seater, ha-ha. But I think it's just that the cowl is so low, the windshield looks proportionally quite tall though this doesn't explain the width except for maybe more passenger room or the car is proportionally narrower than usual. (?)

    I think the door is not on making the air intake look different. Probably a Pista.

    The first one could be a Portofino Coupé, behind a Pista / F8...:confused:

    Please, make it rain! I still remember the sketch you did for the 812, It was incredibly close to the real deal! With some inputs from Ferr9000 or other people I'm sure you can get it right with your drawing skills and technical knowledge.

    @crinoid I was thinking the same thing about the door.

    Yes, but I was referring to LaFerrari. I guess that the BB will be more conventional.

    That fabric cover is very loose around the intake area So it's tough to tell at the moment

    I’m honestly impressed in this day and age how can a company (with the high profile that Ferrari has) keep their projects so secret.
    iPhones get leaked all the time.
    Ferrari let’s you know when they want.
    Honestly amazing!

    Still, please CF chassis and cool doors like LF ahah

    I'm honestly more surprised/fascinated by the fact that some people have already seen this car and when I say "honestly", I really mean it. To build and mantain such strong connections with the factory, that allow clients/enthusiasts to have this kind of early previews and insights into Ferrari's future, leave me literally speechless (in a positive way, of course).

    True, a friend of mine has already seen it at the factory but it was heavy disguised just like in the pics.
    He doesn’t really care about it eheh, he already ordered the next la Ferrari.
    The BB is for us chumps :D

    You've answered your request and, in a way, one of the reasons why. :)

    Not really, CF is much cheaper today, it’s just laziness from Ferrari and milking the silly customers.

    It depends on the process of making it. There is the cheaper version (used by McLaren) and the really expensive one, used in F1 and in the LaFerrari. Nothing to do with laziness, Ferrari has just invested heavily in aluminium because they believe that it is more suitable for road cars (smaller sills, easier to repair, proven longevity).

    True, not all CF is born the same. But one can also argue, does a road car needs F1 grade CF? Mac doesn’t have it and they rock!
    Regarding the aluminum arguments of Ferrari is just BS. The real reason is, aluminum is much cheaper so they have more profits with us idiots eheh. Some in the forum worship every fart from Ferrari, not an ounce of critical thinking.
    Let’s hope that when ALL competition is heavy bathed in CF chassis Ferrari will stop and say: enough milking these idiots we need to step up our game. Customers deserve it.

    Such hyperbole.
    Much opinion hiding as factual!

    There are some Mac fanboys who call anyone who doesn’t prefer a Mac an idiot.

    These are road cars for crying out loud. If your selection criteria for a road car is that it must have a carbon tub - then Ferrari is not for you.

    End of story and move on.
