    Fully agree! Unfortunately I have to say, that the pics from motori.it, although quite nice and near to reality, are just PS phantasies. Sorry, the truth will come out later........ the baby is still not born :)

    Many people here speak multiple languages, we’re not dummies.

    For a second there, it reminded me of my grandmother scolding me for being a bad boy! :D

    Yikes, keep it civil people! Only, a few hours to the official reveal. Then we can grab our pitchforks and torches and storm the castle.
    I feel like sending Ferrari a bill for all the work I am NOT getting done today.

    I already sent them a bill. They told me they would take $10 off my order of a Stradale.

    It does look cool and futuristic.

    Is it Ferrari beautiful? I'm not sure.

    Can't wait to see it on the road though.

    People really should STFU about Corvette and Ferrari ANYONE with half a brain knows Chevy engineers have been copying Ferrari since the early 2000s with the 360s, the 430 and the 458 was a complete rip by Chevy copying the 458 design language. They had NO SHAME.

    It's Corvette copying Ferrari.

    Sorry all, I'm not quite as sold as many here!

    The side view looks great, the front OK (would be good apart from the horrid headlights), the front 3/4 quite good (again upset by the head lights) but the rear and the rear 3/4 aren't great at all. The engine "glass" looks silly and lost, the spoiler seems like a last minute add-on and the whole volume up and over the front of the engine too heavy. And why would Ferrari give up on the classic round rear lights?!

    And all the buttons on the wheel are just silly!

    Sorry to rain on the parade, but its my view and I think that someone should call Pininfarina and book-in the re-vamp we will see in 18-24 months.

    The “Corvette” crew always baffles me I think they are just trolls really. Why would the most famous car marque copy Chevy go all brands (with all due respect) Chevy are hardly known to be design leaders. The new Stradale looks like something out of Minority Report but still every bit a Prancing Horse, it’s a triumph!

    Tachometer lights missing!

    Interesting that the steering wheel does not have the tach lights that were so popular in the past?

    I'm so happy this has happened again, an awful leaked picture that turns into a very nice real deal. Not perfect, though, but overall shape and proportions are nice enough and it does have the so longed "spaceship" feel.

    The front looks mostly OK but I want to take a closer look to that wing-like area, I might not love it in the end (given the probable name I know this iteration is not the bes to stand away from F1, but I've always hated how every Ferrari front they try to resemble a F1 nose, please stop doing that some time). The rear is a bit busy with those multiple decks and canopies, surely we will soon see coloured roofs and also may I suggest a fully blacked out roof area? I mean the portion between the two canopies. The back works for me... quad, almost-square lights used in its own right, even if some other cars have similar (Camaro, R8). Half funny, half silly is, as someone already commented, that they now forgot to leave a decent space for the plate… in the rear, too. FACEPALM.

    The side view is great with an aggresive and fluid profile, however the lower door/sill lines are straight from J50. I really loved J50 but it's a couple years old, isn't it?? I would have expected something fresher. Air intake behind windows and roof execution show they were determined to do it just like that, LaF style mostly. I also loved LaF, so I will have to say welcome again to the black roof… (yes, a little unimpressed here).

    Initially I was not sure , now I think , after taking in the details , it is wonderful . Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow. If pricing is not crazy it will be a huge hit. Dynamically it will be out of this world . They are good at that .

    I really like the design, and as is the case with most Ferraris, it will look even better in person! I told my salesman that I want an allocation ASAP, and he reminded me that my Pista order was just placed! Haha! I love them all
