296 Replacement (M?)

As said by @day355 it will be a phase 2 and I think the mule is this one

Hard to imagine the 296 receiving any significant improvement. It’s darn near perfect.

 

Personally I don’t like the front I find it too simple and round but that’s only my opinion of course

yes it will be like 488 compared to 458 and Power above 900hp

 

Because F8 was not a 488M, it was a stop-gap solution (basically putting the VS engine in the base car) due to the delay of the hybrid next generation.
In normal situations the next model car has always had more power than the previous VS: F430 compared to the 360 CS, 458 compared to the 430 Scuderia (in this case, it's not a "M" situation though), 488 compared to the 458 Speciale... It's even the same for the V12, with the 599 having more power than the 575M and the 812 having more power than the F12 TdF.

 

Wishful thinking IMO... Every model including the F80 uses the haptic touch screens. It's far too early to reverse course.

 

Didn't they just go to physical buttons on the wheel for both F80 and 296S/SA? I'd expect every new model to get the updated wheel from here on out.

 

Yes

 

what year would the base model replacement likely come out?

 

Keen on the answer to this question as well, since I'm still waiting for my build slot. They said it's likely to come in July. I'd rather wait for a 26 if it's an option, especially if they go back to buttons on the wheel...

 

Do pay attention ! In other words late 2027 (or in your terms MY 2028) probably

 

My bad, missed that part of the thread....

 

Me too. Thanks.
