    I listened to this podcast and I agree with Neil. I’m 30 and I find the 849T extremely attractive, it mixes all the design ethos of Ferrari that I like, overall squared off like a 288GTO/Testarossa but with the flair of a SP3. I know I’m in the minority but design is always subjective and my opinion doesn’t carry much weight since I can’t afford one any way.

    Though I’ve been thinking they could’ve shoved a V12 in the back and had some hybrid assist without the front motors, so a series production LaFerrari, would be much more interesting. they already have a hybrid 4WD track monster (F80) and a hybrid supercar (296GTB). I think the 849T should’ve been like the 12C, a car built on emotion rather than laptimes or 0-60 numbers.

    another aspect is the name, which is confusing;
    849 T = 8 cylinders and 499c per cylinder
    296 = 2.9 liters V6
    Wouldn’t be more appropriate and logical to have called it the 398 as in 3.9 V8 or to make it more distinct 839, instead of 849?

    I fully agree—398 would be much more logical and in line with Ferrari’s car-numbering tradition
