    On autopareri.com , an Italian forum , a poster met last weekend an Italian Ferrari collector who owns an Aperta , so a significant one .
    He told him BB will do the 0-200km/h in 6 seconds flat .
    Tomorrow we will know ..

    One user also wrote that the BB's engine is new ("thermodynamics", intake/exhaust layouts and crankshaft overhauled).

    well, I'm tired to keep this heavy secret inside: I want to write the car's name: ferr9000 and ppg70 are just a pair of very well known drug addicted guys (yes, cars are like drug … :) ) and so they cannot be considered reliable at all.

    The car's real name is… Giovanni.

    ciao

    Alberto that isn't the correct spelling, Gianni is the name.
    Without him there probably would not be a 'Ferrari' as we know it today.

    Well, starting from the end, you are totally right about styling, customer service and overall quality. I take them for granted. I disagree on driving experience. I mean, anyone can build a fast car. A tuner can make a Ferrari or a Porsche faster but it doesn’t mean it has more knowledge. Build a very fast car but assuring driving pleasure and exploitability means to have knowledge. Anyway don’t get me wrong. The 720s is a fantastic car that introduced benchmark concepts, one is the oustanding visibility (drag resistence is also impressive S*Cx = 0,57 considered the lift to drag ratio). Porsche ? They are doing impressive cars (and with so many patents on them). Your GT3 is one of my favorite, good taste my friend.

    "Mille" was actually my first guess.

    SF90 Stradale isn't going to be very popular: It's stretched and the F1 season has been very disappointing so far, I hope we're all wrong..

    We are almost there, reveal is tomorrow, - time to relax, so the "off-topic"-s here.

    "Supersonico" (Supersonic) will be the most correct one. Because the only sound you will notice will be the shockwave ;) after the car passes you by.

    Is there anyone on this thread that doesn’t know the car is launched tomorrow?!
    But you’re right question is valid just like: what is the a Ferrari?
