It's clear that some people like it. I'm curious - is it divisive? What do you think of it? Image Unavailable, Please Login
I´m not a fan of making exact copies of old designs, but as the rest of the car is not a Daytona clone, it´s OKish.
It looks far better in dark/rich colors. In the silver it just looks awful, like a corvette on estrogen The design is ok at best. The car has no wow factor to me. The raccoon looking front black bar on the nose just looks weird to me, maybe I just need to get used to it. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
I like but but not the weird blade thing going in at the back, that doesn't look good on the sf90 and doesn't look good here, either.
I agree and hope this doesn’t turn into Ferrari’s bangle butt…that said, ff/lusso have aged well over time. For me, this is the only part of the car that gives me pause. Still absorbing everything. It’s quite understated like many of the newer cars to my eye. I was hoping for something that would grab me hard and pull me in with a side of menace. I wanted a visual image to match driving my f8 a little too aggressively on cold tires…instead, we have something much safer. Nods to e-type jags, amg gt, and Roma with a side of Aston Martin are all things I see in this car in addition to the Daytona. All good things and easy to pick apart, but I won’t. I am keeping in mind that ferrari has an irritating habit of testing my senses and “sensibilities” and with time have grown to love many models that I didn’t think I would.
Interesting. I wouldn't have described this as "safe". The shape, perhaps. But the details are bold. Whether or not you like the details, of course, is subjective. Hence the poll.
I personally like it. It's the active aero flaps of the Spider that irritates me. On the Coupé they fit well with the sloping roof, on the Spider however they look aftermarket. I guess you can go Tailor Made and paint the flying buttresses in gloss black, essentially making the car two-tone.
The front facia between the headlights and the rear deck are things that, given a year or so, Ferrari will give you an option to spec in body color. I don't think this launch version will be "take it or leave it." There will be options.
Manzoni was quite clear that he wouldn't allow that. Whether that's official policy versus his wish as the designer, we will see. Seems to me like an odd policy. But why would he put himself out there like that if Ferrari won't stand behind it? Then again, this is all heresy stemming from Top Gear's Ollie Kew's "over my dead body" quote. Maybe that was taken out of context. Maybe Ollie was "poking the bear". Maybe Manzoni hadn't had his morning coffee yet. Who knows? We're all human.
Yea, I think we've see it before though. If enough people on Ferrari's special list start asking for a different option, there will magically be a change in ModisCS one day. I can see them standing firm on the front facia, but the rear deck? The front option should be black or silver, rear deckled body color or black.
I hope you're right. I hope they stand firm on neither (really not a fan of the black front fascia, personally). Obviously some people like it (poll results so far show this) and that's great. And I suspect it will grow on more of us. But I doubt that it will ever be broadly loved (who knows what bias is in these results, but FWIW, more respondents here dislike/hate it than like/love it). Giving clients the option on such a devisive and easy-to-change design feature sure would be nice.
That's one of the most flattering renders I've seen so far. Of course, it's worth noting that you can't see the black bits at the back from this angle and the color/light make the black strip at the front "pop" less. I really think the overall shape and contours are quite elegant. Props to Manzoni's team on that.
I was going to post the rear as well but accidentally closed the window :-/. I’ll do it again this afternoon. I kind of feel like the black in the rear balances out the black in the front. Going through a green Ferrari faze right now for some reason though.
