You're welcome. Probably Celeste Trevi and most probably in a Japanese dealership.

That's the same color as the Roma Spider launch vehicle right ?

 

This may be the one color where the wheels actually look good. They are a disaster with most other colors

This car is clearly going to be very colour sensitive. Anything solid or flat, is going to kill the design. The more interesting, and bright, metallic colours show off the intricate detailing and shape profiles which make the car, as a whole, look much more interesting. Otherwise it just risks looking like a bloated whale. All IMHO of course!

 

Yes metallic colors would be the more appropriate choice

 

Being a F512M owner, not sure I get that comparison?

 

They still aren’t blowing money - at least in their mind. They are losing on one hand to gain something on another. Whether they do or not can never be known but they at least think there is a chance it works out for them. Sometimes it does too. Just not always.

 

A tortured turbine design. Not a fan of the 512M wheels, they seem to come straight out a 90's tuning magazine

If I had a 512M I would replace the wheels with 512TR wheels

Perhaps this is why the paint prices for those colors have increased quite a bit

 

I'm hoping to see those in real as well in dark color as per option list, I think will do a very different effect in my opinion

 

Yes, indeed

 

The first impression is not everything but for me it is important and in the case of 12 C I've had since the beginning the feeling that its design is an amalgamation of styles. Looking at the side views below the coupé and the spider from this angle are very similar.
Something that stands out in my eyes about the design of the rear of the 12 C in both models, are the very muscular rear fenders that remind me a lot the hips of a famous celebrity that I appreciate very little. Also the way the rear fenders progress to the rear flaps seems to me like it could have been done much better but, obviously, this is just my opinion.
When the view angle changes to the side and rear or just the rear of the 12 C, it seems to me that the spider looks a lot better, perhaps due to the boldly expressive character created by the two buttresses at the rear. Honestly, and even without having seen the 12 C in person yet, I've already realized that the delta wing on the rear of the Coupé is not for me.

I love the delta wing on the coupe It's a huge design differentiator from all other GT's running around
Also makes the car feel more exotic IMO

 

Same thought!

Some were supplied with the TR wheels - very few. I wouldn’t have one though. The split rims are a work of art and part of the car, love or hate them. As you might imagine, I love them. Much more interesting than the TR wheel. But for 12C I’m undecided. The turbine wheel is ultra modern and I might be feeling the other wheel has more personality.

 

The F512 M is a gem, amazing. The body of the Testarossa, 512 TR, with the addition of very interesting elements: the exposed headlights with projectors that are still modern today, the F355-style indicators and grille, the round lights at the back, the charming turbine wheels. Add this to the rarity (501 units). IMO it is an icon, and the elements mentioned make it very modern and timeless. Do you have the standard or carbon fiber seats?

Regarding the 12Cilindri wheels, the turbine in diamond finish, in my opinion, is horrible, it looks like an electric car wheels. However, painted entirely in one color (silver/gold/grey) without a diamond finish, it completely changes the perception of this wheel, making it much better and classic, as per the configurator photo in the post on page 6 of the "Order bank open F167 V12" thread, in the 12Cilindri section.

As for the other wheel option of the 12Cilindri, IMO it is perfect, classic, Ferrari-like.

Totally agree the turbine blade wheels would look much better in a single color otherwise it looks like many Japanese built car wheels on the street today. The other wheels are classic Ferrari and will age very well

Left it alone for weeks or so, came back, I'm still not feeling it. F12 Berlinetta and 812 are the last Ferrari GT-V12s to me until this gets replaced. It makes me think Nissan Z that I can't unsee it even if I tried. But, there may be hope for it in about 5 years with the VS version...

 

Take the logos off the car and tell me it doesn’t look Japanese

 

Standard seats. I think the carbon seats are pretty rare!

 

Arte the standard wheels forged or casted ?
And what manufacturing method for the turbine blade wheels ?

Does anybody knows this ?

This 12 C coupé is being tested around Maranello before shipping.
