    i don't think 296 looks good design wise it doesn't flow. the sf90 does but the 296 doesn't.

    I feel the same about 296, but also dislike the the details like the front and rear lights on the SF90. I'm also not a fan of the Roma and PS is like a joke to my eyes. I'm just not a fan of any of the most recent design language coming out of Ferrari. The 812 comp is the last Ferrari i have visually liked.

    Yup. I can’t do that “Hot Wheels” like wasp & disproportionately hipped rear end- just looks goofy to me.

    This has the Corvette C8 design problem of front end and back end of the car being designed by different teams and not coming together as a cohesive design.

    Design is highly subjective. I love the F12, 296 and Roma but can’t warm to the 812, SF90 or the POS.

    The Roma rear half with the 812 front half would be a gorgeous car. The 812 as is really nice as is. I just really love the Roma, as it reminds me of the DB10. I just hate its front girll. Something tells me there going to come out with a better grill design on the Roma 2, but then make it all electric, which is something I am not entirely sure I'll love yet

    That's exactly it! That's what gives this mixed impression with the 296 where the rear is good and the front is flat and bland... one team for the front and one for the rear.
    For the 167, it's a single designer for the whole car with his team.

    It's these two pictures precisely:

    The 250 LM is fugly, for starters. It always was. Capable, iconic? Sure, but ugly as ****.

    A modern design based on its worst design feature (high rear hips but low tail, funny roof line and air intake)? I guess it could have been worse! Uninspiring at best.

    It doesn't surprise me to see people going crazy at the end of 2023, I remember Sergio Scaglietti with respect

    I agree that 296 GTB has a somewhat american nose. Then again, the low waist line looks superb together with rised rear air intake. It fits nicely with the low center or gravity theme of 120° V6.

    For me, SF90 lacks traditional Ferrari design language. It still looks like a Ferrari, but something is missing. Nose is again somewhat american, but the main problem is perhaps the dull rear air intake area, where the body curvature over the rear wheels is lacking curvature/emotion.

    SF90 XX certainly improves the looks, but it is still not a classic design that would give vibes from the past.

    The past is overrated. The SF90 is a cutting edge design. The 296 is soft and a bit retro...

    The front part is definitely stolen, I said this in the monza title.

    @day355 Having seen the F167, are you going to be ordering one? What colors do you think would best fit the design?

    This particular 250 LM is the worst on the planet. NOT a good example to look at the design.
