    Another homerun after the 812C.
    "Fun to drive"
    "Go kart feeling"
    "shorter wheel base"

    Just shut up and take my money!

    Well done Ferrari; you listened... in a big way!

    On that basis, the 7.3 second 0-200kph is astonishing. The 765LT weighs 550lbs LESS and needs 6.7-7.0 to reach 200kph.

    The audio file in the media gallery seems promising, nice sound under acceleration.

    Not surprised by you calling someone else's opinion utter BS, which also took less than an hour. Take a big whiff of your own trite to know what utter BS really smells like.

    'la 296 GTB boucle un tour du circuit d’essais de Fiorano en 1’21’’ selon Ferrari, soit 1,5 s de mieux que la F8 Tributo'

    Since someone is bound to ask the Fiorano time

    I like that crease, unique, curvaceous, sexy, and flows into rear arch.

    Gonna be hard to explain to my wife why I'm doing what I'm doing when she comes downstairs, lmao.

    Best automotive ass in years! The Roma was clean but something was just not quite right about its proportions.
    The 296 GTB is just perfect, either direct rear, or 3/4 rear view.
    The front is not as bad as first view earlier, just maybe too clean/tame, but I still prefer too clean over the unsightly aero mess we've been getting.
    I, like a number of you, am not sold on the "visor" and greenhouse design/proportions. I think it detracts from the rear wings when you see the car from the front 3/4. It's one of the weaker elements on modern Ferraris and frankly dates back to the Enzo design, IMHO.

    One more time and I'll try to muzzle myself, that rear end and engine cover! And the roof "spoiler" too! OMG, best Ferrari in AGES!

    That's just typical Ferrari marketing spiel at this point. Let's wait until someone actually drives the car. 830 hp on the road might be more scary than fun...

    Surprising with the instant torque of the electric motor, 0-62 is 2.9- same as F8. Should be faster.

    While I personally don’t see any Vette design cues, my mind did see a bit of Evora in it.

    and that V6 power can increase even more: as I already wrote, the engine project leader is a very skilful guy. This engine set the new world record as specific power, and still is has some left.

    I am going for it, why not, just emailed my dealer, the Fiorano addition did it for me. That said the F8 is a better looking car in my opinion.

    I thought the shark fin was for a rearview camera since it appeared to have no rear visibility. Am I wrong on that? Would explain why the SF90 had it and this thankfully doesn't.

    Obviously a Dino inspired design

    Once you start seeing that unfortunate crease in the air intake, you can't unsee it.

    296 less than even 308! They didn’t even consider the turbo equivalency factor, LOL.

    A reset of the numbering system maybe?

    Yes! Alberto (Isot) is a very pleasant and skilful guy: he deserves an appreciation as his render was quite close (as always)

    ciao

    My thoughts exactly.

    From some angles, it also reminds me of the Ford GT40...
