    Think it will look good with more yellow rather than just piping...yep, turning the steering wheel was the toughest part for me.

    I think Rosso Mars kind of splits the difference between Ferrari Rosso Corsa and Rosso Scuderia. Here’s the going away shot of the Perf when I traded it in.

    Thanks. It’s an October build so it should arrive by the end of the year….at least I hope so.

    Rosso Mars looks amazing especially on the Aventador. I know every time my dealer gets a Rosso Mars Lambo it sells ASAP.

    Looks pretty impressive and I am completely objective.The fact that its design aesthetic is unique without being derivative of any other brand is highly refreshing. The car's appearance conforms to its driving dynamics. It looks like it means business and it does. This is a continuation of not adhering to the subject of this thread, but I could't resist.

    I accept the fact that there are those who think the 765 is monstrous looking and wish to shield their eyes from its view as it is an affront to their visual sensibilities.

    You have to hand it to the Italians when it comes to styling supercars. Nobody does it better.

    The Lamborghini design aesthetic has no resemblance to that of Ferrari. Both Italian.

    While driving yesterday, as is the norm, cell phones appearing taking photos, thumbs up as cars and motorcycles approach, at stop lights, drivers rolling down their windows to exuberantly heap praise, even had an 80 year old lady in a car, taking photos and yelling out " Beautiful". Similiar reaction to the Performante but not as extreme. Driving the F8, very little notice. Surprising.

    Very true, even considering Lamborghini & Ferrari get there in different ways.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t like the looks of the STO in the front. To me it looks like a guy with a big giant nose?

    Yeah. You might be…lol. In all seriousness, I think the front is the best part.

    No big giant nose. Not even just a giant nose.

    Tough choice, GT3 is an awesome car but the Spyder seems like so much fun to drive!

    I just caught up on the last 10 pages of this thread. Normally such gentleman like discussions and debates on Ferrari chat. What happened?

    Not bragging but I have mentioned before that I am running around in a GR Yaris at the moment so I think that qualifies me to comment on the 765, pista and STO even though I have never driven any of them.

    Other than all the noise about Mclarens being unreliable, the 765 would be my pick of the bunch right now. Based on my extensive you tube watching experience the 765 is insanely fast, looks are stunning and it offers a reasonable visceral driving experience in the modern turbo era. I would say very similar to the Yaris experience. :D

    I love its aggressiveness but I dont see a nose of any sort. Funny how people can see completely different things.

    The first US STO has landed in Miami. Looks like the market intro are landing now.
