    I'm usually a big defender of Ferrari styling but this is a giant giant miss for me.




    At least the LEGO version will be accurate

    I actually like the f80. This is awful... But again for some reason I don't mind the coupe. Maybe is the yellow that makes it look heinous

    Looks like Ferrari stole some engineers from Mitsubishi..

    Ferrari is going to have to go back to pinninfarina.

    This **** is terrible.

    You could sell ugly cars when the market was on fire ... But it's struggling. This is going to be a hard sell

    I like the front fender black trim on the 12cilindri. I can appreciate the Daytona throwback.. It makes zero sense on this car. I hope it's not part of their new design language. This car looks like a mash-up of their new cars, and I can't say I'm a big fan of any of them really.

    and I thought modern mclaren's were ugly, Ferrari are sadly giving them a run for the money. It would be slightly more tolerable had they not put the Testarossa name on it.

    I'm not a fan of the "duck bill" front end. I agree that the coupe looks better than the spider and will definitely need to see it in person.

    So where does this fit into the Ferrari lineup? Is it above the SF90? Below the SF90 but above the 296? Honestly I haven;t compared the specs but they seem similar to the SF90 so I'm not sure what true differences are.

    Edit - Never mind...found my answer

    Thoughts on the new Ferrari... the Testarossa... I liked it so little i did not even look at the full name... its an 8 something...

    Ferrari's design has gone way, way wrong... they all just look horrible in pictures. I will admit that the Dodici does look way better in person... but its still an odd / different look for Ferrari. Someone help them with design please...

    It was obvious that they were going in a completely different direction from the marketing, because a lot of people didn't like the SF90.

    Did anyone explain the "849" part of the name? I get 8 cylinders, 4 litre, but the 9?

    Too many half baked retro cues to the 512s/m cars at the back, bur nearly all of the current range is a modern rendition of the past.

    I was always meh about the SF90 because it was too many lines and angles and layers of odd convergences - especially the rear. This is so, so much better to my eye. Especially everything back of the door. The nose winglets don't show well, but again, I like them better than the arrow nose on the SF90.

    I was actually hoping for more SP3 style strakes. I think this will sell better than the SF90 has, overall...
