    Wheelbase about 2 inches shorter. Considering they stuck an electric motor there its pretty impressive engineering packaging. The V6 must be really compact.

    The F8 will age badly, while this is already a future classic. Some say it looks boring, I think its simplicity is gorgeous. What a beautiful car. This car gives me the same childhood feelings that I got when I saw the 355 and 360 for the first time. And I haven't felt that for many many years.

    Ferrari nailed it this time. And it sounds like a baby V12 as well. What is not to like?

    The central location of the twin Turbos has all but killed the BMW M550i engine . I wonder if this will cause issues for the 296

    Cant see a motorized open top for the 296. Maybe a tee top or panel .

    At least it will be easier to replace turbos.

    I wouldn’t compare a BMW engine to a Ferrari engine.

    BMW in general have a lot of engine problems and the n63 is but one poor example. Also the turbos were not the major cause.

    If I were to have a concern it would be about the reliability of Ferraris electrics - not the engine.

    I agree, this car is perfect for a "GTS" instead of a "spider", with a targa top as in 355; in fact, Ferrari patented a targa top back in 2018, we'll see

    I would agree, what also matters is inside the cabin

    Luggage capacity?
    Assuming single suitcase in the front and hooks for garment hangers on the back of the seats ?

    You're not the first to ask but so far there's no information so its probably SF90 proportions....

    Compared to the 458, the 296 is breathtakingly stunning. There are very few cars let alone super cars that have a front as ugly as the one on the 458. Here is where non car people mistake the 458 for a C7.
