    The big question is..will it still have the shooting brake type of styling?

    Apparently a 20mm lower rear roof line and the rear screen more angled. Will be interesting to see how much difference it makes and whether it still looks like a shooting brake with such a minor change.

    Spending Valentine's Day in Italy 'alone'. A even bigger no no. Haha

    We have 2 boys in school age, so one of us has to stay behind for trips.

    will the new car be larger, smaller or similar size? will it be a crossover contender to compete with Bentley's suv or crossover?

    Less than an inch difference. I don't think anyone apart from us obsessives will be able to even spot it at more than 10 yards..

    True - what about rear headroom, that could be effected of roofline dropped - or could not....

    Headroom has to be compromised but not by a lot. And it is still shooting brake most def.

    The glass pano is a super cool aspect to the car. As is the hatch space.

    I have my doubts about the in house design team, on every level. If they listen to the 20 somethings who can't afford the car and ignore the people who love it, it's at their peril. The TDF is flirting with Corvette design elements. The FF could be ruined in trying to make it cooler.

    I've expressed the same concern as I simply don't like what they've done to the F12tdf by making it over aggressive - to each their own.

    I've been assured and re-assured by several that same has NOT been done with the soon to be revealed car on 15 Feb.

    Eagerly waiting.....

    I hope for the best ... then again, it's good for us if they ruin it. I sure hope they don't make it too plastic looking.

    20 mm is not going to really change things visually, except to make it smaller, the overall real end is what it is.
    CF is lightweight, but glass is the way better experience for passengers than another 0.1 to 60 mph. 3.5 and 208 .. how fast does it need to be? lol

    From 20 feet away you have to look twice to notice the differences. Sharpened up, yes....a bit more sculptured, yes, different rear end, yes....sort of. Have they over styled it, possibly. Will I put 70 to 100k with mine to get one.........no.

    Early pictures point to significant revision of rear. This indicates rear camouflage and where it may be trimmed. The rear glass is telling.
    Note obvious demarcation around c pillar and tail lights. Suggests sharper roofline and smaller rear cabin.
    Cannot wait to see.

    Curious as to when you saw the finished car as Ferrari is normally pretty good on security?

    I don't see any difference in that photo to the current cars rear. Besides I think those photos are quite old now. We 99.9% know the following changes:

    Four Rear Tail lights
    20mm lower rear roofline with adjusted rear hatch/glass angle
    Facelift to front and rear bumpers
    Restyled headlamps
    Four wheel steer
    8 speed gearbox
    Restyled seats
    Restyled dash
    New infotainment
    Circa 700 BHP
