    Additionally, based on MM comments, I think 2/3 glass canopy will be opposite of what you have depicted on previous renderings. Specifically I think what they are saying is that canopy is 2/3 glass but it is the front 2/3 as opposed to the rear. More like this.

    I think one of the main differences between the rendering above and the actual car is that there will be a Daytona esque small rear quarter window, so you will get that leaned back angle before the metal section that wraps over the roof, more like the 296

    I know there are some mistakes around the tail... I noticed this in lasts pictures of my friend Derek Cornelissen, but this is what I have in mind.. The tail will be more rounded with a sort of scissor cut.. an interesting game with the taillights

    Would love to have a small window on the back like the 812 GTS for better listen to the sound :)

    i'm excited about this car--will probably end up ordering one and deciding whether to keep this car or my current 812. im not a fan of the current generation of ferrari interior buttons / electronics which is my main hesitation

    It would be an interesting concept- same canopies front to back with functional rear window but the spider has the moving parts for the roof with some added weight

    This is probably 90% accurate except for the rear light bar. The rear light lenses will be like Ferrari Roma except embedded in the fascia rather than free floating. I think the greenhouse and the front and rear fender shapes are probably spot on

    Not gonna lie. Daytona and 308 vibes are leaning me toward keeping the 812 gts

    ..definitely not my favorite Ferrari styles.

    You will be passing on every new Ferrari going forward then. So there’s that.

    Same. Drove our 2019 example yesterday. That sound! Will never sell it. [emoji445] Image Unavailable, Please Login

    BTW, I was behind a 2022 Porsche GT3 Touring that sounded incredible with the stock exhaust. I understand the topic’s been beaten to death on these forums, but Ferrari gave the American market a royal F-U when it refused to provide non-GPF cars here.

    Well this is fun - waiting and anticipating and speculating. I always enjoy. It is funny that some are upset that it might look like X because someone else said it might so not gonna buy one! LOL

    I’m anxious to see it and planning to be on the list asap. Because I can and it will probably be fantastic! :)

    What I find strange is the F250 has a new prototype on the road that's close to the final car. yet the F167 doesn't and it's not far from it's launch date

    I didn't have the Brooke exhaust on yet. A real shame you can't hear the wheels squeal around the carousel. But you can hear the bell going off as tires were not yet up to temp.
