I like it - much more so than the 612 Kappa or P540 Superfast Aperta. There are one or two things I would have done differently but, overall, I'm impressed. +1.
I did a few photoshops to sort out the wheels Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I posted that I liked it from the original pictures. Now seeing this I'm not such a fan. The shade of blue seemed to change drastically. The second photoshopped picture with the lighter GTO wheels looked fantastic.

I like the photoshop pic with the silver rims, perfect match to the A-Pillars The rear view of the car is still as some said: "Too Busy"! Greetz, Joseph

Nice views etienne and especially in the context of the old Ferrari. However the latest Ferrari 45 style model has all the warmth of a bank vault. Beyond the unique roof treatment it appears overly contrived simply for the sake of looking different. The 'Golden Ferrari' embraced the classics theme with a charm the 45 fails to convey IMHO. CH
I think it looks great. I remember reading somewhere that the design genesis of the 599 was that Ferrari wanted their new super coupe to be a "front engined F40"- now that is certainly a very tall order and perhaps not even possible- but in the GTO form at least- the car has a real aggression and it shares that with the F40. I think the GTB is a gorgeous car as well- but just different. Anyway, if you are starting with a fairly aggressive shape I don't see how you can look to it for charm and warmth. Is the F40 either of those things? Well, you might feel warm looking at it But its a hard as nails design. The vintage V12s come from a different era. Without a doubt the 400 SA is a gorgeous car with charm and warmth, but its from a different time. I love them all.
Guys, i've noticed that on all the american Ferraris there's not the " Launch Control " button but instead " PS ", what is it?
Well conceived, well developed. A truly wonderful car. Whether you like the final product or not, you have to tip your hat to people who will take the plunge and engage custom coachbuilders to push the envelope. The mirrors and A-pillars are pretty cool.
