    Lovely cars they are. Also impressed how rather well proportionned the 275 looks next to the F12 - I disagree here with some posters above.
    Putting a 575 and a F12 side by side makes the F12 look like a whale.

    Thank you! I have "no shield" envy from looking at your car, so I have ordered the aerobridges with no shields for the F12.

    Stunning pictures! Amazing how modern safety requirements have resulted in such large cars compared to the past.

    Jacque, if you look at all cars today, they are a good 1/3 larger than they were 25 years ago. Like you said, its the safety equipment.

    NOT just the safety requirements!
    When Ferrari and Pininfarina designed the 360 Modena Montezemolo clearly stated that the car had to be bigger and wider and should also be big enough to carry a golf club, apart from 2 passengers with luggage. The 360 Modena was the first Ferrari which was quite a bit bigger.

    I find this very fascinating. What would be even more fascinating is if I knew where to store golf clubs and two passengers in a 360 Modena?

    The last photo is very spectacular ! Your F12 seems to devour the poor little 275 watching the big bad wolf from the corner of the eye !

    For me its an affront/insult/ beleidigung to compare an" Corvette look alike" F12 with
    a Ferrari 275 GTB.

    "corvette look alike" Really?

    Marcel, what do you think of the quantum leap this car took over its predecessors?

    Drove an F12 last week. I have to say that I don't think I could ever get used to the horsepower.

    Simply terrifying!

    And I LOVE horsepower.

    You can never have enough HP. The more the better. HP is king.
    Yes, the F12 is a massive step forward compared to the 599 GTB.
