I think it's absolutely gorgeous, Ferrari really hits it out of the park every single time with their LE models imo. At least exterior wise.. as I will agree that the interior could be better, a one off steering wheel for example would go a long way, but with the rest of the car being this beautiful I just don't care.
It is not legal to be driven on the street. But that won’t stop some people from driving one on the street.
I was at the factory on the 18th. What I was told was there would be no RHD. Honestly, I would also love for them to build a RHD version of it, but "no"was the answer from them.
I'm generally not a fan of retro styling but it's nice to see Ferrari try something different every now and then. Every model doesn't have to be an evolution of the previous model. It's good to shake things up. Bravo Ferrari. -F
The verbiage on the Ferrari website describes them as road cars. I don't think these are just track toys. -F
I was just repeating what the Ferrari dealer told me. He said they weren't street legal. Surprised me, as who wants a car they can't drive? But that's the story I was told. Maybe he was misinformed.
You're correct, but to own a car that can't be driven on the street for me personally doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Having said that, i'm sure the owners will drive them on public roads anyway
I think this car is just sensational... Technically it may not be a significant step up from the 812, but in developing a car like this, I think that things like usability, weight and performance probably become secondary. In my mind this is more like art on wheels. The elegant lines, the timeless simplicity and the nod to the past in a completely impractical but gorgeously looking car. In fact, and while a few will surely be driven from time to time on special occasions, I wouldn’t be surprised if many of these actually end up in someone’s living room replacing a sculpture or some fine piece of furniture, with the cool racing suits unused and folded into a drawer for eternity, together with the helmets. And while the Berluti shoes that come with the Monzas may clock up a lot more miles than the cars themselves, I think this all makes perfect sense for everyone: the owners buy a piece of artwork that you can race (and a sure investment). Ferrari does again what it does best - still written at the entrance of the Museum-: “We don’t sell cars, we sell a dream” (... I am sure many thousands of people around the world will be dreaming of one day, if they work really hard, being able to own and drive one of these on their favourite roads). The Monzas will be on posters in bedrooms everywhere, while shareholders see how the best marketing possible not just comes for free, but actually earns the company €2m a pop. I think the only ones standing to lose out slightly here will be some angry wives wondering why that cherished coffee table of theirs has to give way to new artwork at home...[emoji16]
I asked the dealer again this morning and he said the cars are NOT US street legal. Use that for what you will.

First That's so funny Ferrari doesn't seem to know if the car is street legal in the US. Oh well, really looks cool! -F
Now that doesn't preclude the possibility of changing them to meet all the requirements. That's a whole different story.
Any thoughts on what past Ferrari vehicles should inspire future ‘Icona’ models? I’d LOVE to see the Testarossa from the 80’s reimagined with contemporary underpinnings and revised bodywork. I think that design concept (the iconic slatted intakes) brought into the modern aesthetic would be fantastic.
