    Seeing this second F80 now from 'maha' it appears Ferrari is going to great lengths to protect the paint finish on these new cars. All the bodywork is covered in a sort of clear matte finish film. The result; all these cars appear to have Opaco paint now! More Ferrari secrecy here?

    These new brakes seem very interesting indeed.
    But the CCM "standard" Ferrari / Brembo, at least up to the Pista / F8, are outdated and badly performing compared to what is available from other vendors.
    The 296 seems to be better than the previous CCM equipped cars, but I do not have information nor sufficient experience with it (I hope someone will provide more insight) on whether the brakes on the 296 are only better because they are (significantly) larger and better cooled, or they are already improved in terms of material used.
    So CCM-R Plus is most probably better than other existing systems, but while it's certainly a big jump from the crappy previous Ferrari/Brembo CCM, I wonder what the margin is with existing systems that are better than those Ferrari/Brembo CCM.

    Surface Transforms makes rotors with continuous fibers instead of the discontinued fibers used in the Ferrari / Brembo CCM.
    I can tell from personal experience that they are a big improvement on my 488. I had the original Brembo during 15,000 km and have had the ST for about 10,000 km. My use is approximately 70% road / 30% track.

    Maybe its not common in Italy but the chicken wire on the front end of the F80 is quite unbecoming. Details in such a level of car should be held to a high standard. This photo highlights the point pretty well.

    Shows that you put emphasis on appearance, not substance. The huge radiators behind the grills need protection.

    Not in the least. Here that material comes in rolls at the hardware store and lines the bottom of rabbit cages. Cheapest stuff you can get. Use different material or recess and hide behind tasteful fascia like the PF models did. I'm sure others see that material here and think as well.

    Recessing and hiding inhibits air flow, also requiring larger recesses, which in turn effect the whole architecture. PF models didn't produce 1050 kg of downforce...

    It doesn't have to look cheap or ugly to be effective. Lose the chicken coop grill material next time or shape the radiators to complete the effect.

    Which shows you care mostly about looks. These cars are all about performance though. They first design the mechanical-aero layout and then care about the aesthetics.


    Good one! ;)
