Ferrari is adding items to their models like never before - it's not very often Ferrari guys modify a car they ordered with non Ferrari parts.
I can understand your pov. However, i will say that i did not like the 12C based on launch pics. Having seen it in person multiple times the design has grown on me. Trying to keep an open mind…however this new/recent design language or whatever it is from Ferrari is really making me question their direction. It’s bold, proactive, decisive all in a manner that is not what i recall ferrari to be. It’s like Manzoni decided to get inspiration from BMW with their aweful design language. Why does it have to be like this.
Hot take: Ferrari panicked over the F80 looks and needed to roll something else out to make it look good in comparison...
Funny how things change. I’m now less bothered by the vertical side strakes having seen them from more angles but the rear split spoilers are starting to seem a bit overdone, especially on the AF cars. Maybe the standard car looks a bit better? As an example..
I can understand the disappointment with a number of the design element that many have. However, there's many other design elements that I really love and I can't wait to see it in the flesh. Hopefully at Finali Mondiali?? In the meantime, I've already started dreaming of it in different shades Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think the non-AF car is cleaner, but the AF spoilers definitely add a bit of an edge to the car. In the right spec, the base car really does look like a mini SP3. Making the AF cars more visually distinct and having the FAL option seems like a good way to increase the take rate compared to SF90/296 AF.
Thank you, I didn't take many photos that night and this one was one I wish I took so thank you for sending it, it looks slightly more stomachable in carbon.
For me, “much better in the flesh” already is a comment that when used, is already apologetic and underscores it doesn’t have visual appeal on paper which there are countless examples of cars that look amazing on paper. I’d say it’s something that gives a clear litmus test of place and style. And thus likability. I think there are many chronic purchasers who probably feel party line about anything they produce—never say anything bad about it or have to like since they made it or has the badge on it. While I have loved the brand and been and am an owner, I’m not a fanboy like that and think people need to be honest about the trend we see.
The psychological state you're describing is commonly referred to as idealisation. It occurs when someone perceives their loved one as perfect or near-perfect, ignoring or denying their flaws, shortcomings, or negative behaviors. Idealisation can serve as a defense mechanism to protect oneself from disappointment or anxiety caused by acknowledging the partner's negative traits, helping maintain emotional security.
