Official photos of the F12

Very true, what do you think Marcel?

I love it. And I think it's gonna take on a whole new look in the flesh. I've always felt that Ferrari's press photos leave a lot to be desired...

 

Looks gorgeous! The Aero Bridge is cool, as is the rendition of the bridge between the seats inside the car. Rear view is just awesome. Very 8C, as has been noted.
The grill is HUGE! The FF was large but this is even bigger i think. Something they really want to highlite... It is part of Ferrari's history so why not? Funny, that the 458 ignores it completely... I am sure there was discussions about that when deciding to drop it in favour of the aero devices. There are enough family design cues elsewhere.

Congrats Ferrari... a home run!

It is a return back to original Ferrari design. I like it. A true modern classic.

 

+F12 they did an incredible job.

 

Love the color, but this is the first thing that pops in my mind

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in person. I like that they shortened, lowered and generally compacted the car. In the days when every new model gets bigger, I like the smaller route being taken here.
Any thoughts on the closed air intakes on the bottom front on each side? Do you think they'll open up or bend with higher speeds, similar to the 458's moveable vanes?

 

I don't see much similarity. Totally different designs from the front to side to rear.
Whole new look.

 

they open up for additional cooling (if necessary) for the brakes

 

From the Motorward link, "Active Brake Cooling, a system that opens guide vanes to the brake cooling ducts only at high operating temperatures, again reducing drag."

Could this be it? or would these be located under the car?

 

Ah thanks. Is it automatic when a certain temp is reached or does it stay open in Race mode for instance?

 

Wow this car is beautiful..... holy crap
can't wait for "REAL" pictures of it at Geneva

 

Apparently the same LCD feature that the FF has for the passenger:

interesting question and don't know the exact answer. Ferrari states only when necessary.

 

yeah can't wait for live pics. will be interesting to see if this car should be in traditional Rossa Corsa, a more subdued metallic or black!

 

I am in LOVE! It's been a while since I've said that about any car!

 

I like it in black. But I am biased.

 

I like it in black. But I am biased. I think the thing will be around 400K. I wonder if Ferrari will ever meet any price resistance on thier cars.

 

no argument there!

 

Home run.
Good to see that they've moved away from some of the cartoonish designs of the recent past but retained the excitement.

 

Very very cool!!!!! Love it

 

8C Mark II?

what's up with the center light?

 

Look at the first page of this thread, there are similarities between the 8C and the F12 but only very subtle. I was pretty shocked how different they were

The center light is a fog light and is designed as the F1 rain lights are. Again, look on the first page of this thread and you will find both of these items

 

I think it looks great...i like the throwback 575 wheel style.

flat rear looks like the lexus LFA though...
