That's right, they're claiming the front of the 849 is a futuristic departure from the 308. As we can see in the images, the only thing the fronts of the 849 and the 308 have in common is the departure, because the arrival shows us two incomparable realities. Carlo Palazzani is from the same school as Flavio Manzoni; we all see that the king has no clothes, but they, with their rhetoric, try to convince us otherwise, and they succeed in doing so with the less cautious.

I'm commenting on the above only as a defense of something I said the day the 849 debuted. I stated that looking at it straight-on reminded me of a 288 GTO (obviously, similar to a 308). Also, as a former owner of a 308, I do see the resemblance. It's reminiscent more than it is a heavy-handed copy, but I am reminded of those cars.
The 849 looks so much better than the 308 and I don’t necessarily think the 849 front looks that good. The 849 has such a cool vibe of retro styling design, I am really liking it aside of few elements, not a big fan of the protruded sections under the front lights and the winglets on the AF I think look terrible.
So a car for driving, not for collecting? That means high production numbers and high depreciation. It's okay for collectors, there is the 812 Competizione and icona cars.
Hey, freak, real Ferrari customers go to presentations of real cars, not judge their appearance by the crappy pictures you've been posting here for years. I can't figure out if you're an obsessive hater or just mentally disturbed?
In the latest years the´ve turned to a 70s look so the comparison with the 308 front is not out of place. You may like it or not, but if you can´t see it then it´s you who is naked.
You have been previously warned not to make personal attacks. 7-day ban. Repetitions may incur increasing or even permanent bans.
Manzoni and his team including Andrea Militello are crazy like a fox. Or is it crazy like a lupo? To the Ferrari Stylo Centrale team --In bocca a lupo! ( The reply: "Crepi ! ")
That's probably right. Unlike Flavio Manzoni and others like him who are artistically enlightened and therefore able to see all these subtle similarities with crystal clarity, I am part of those who do not have this ability and therefore can only see what is obvious. I clearly see an SP2 inspired by the 166M, 750 Monza and 860 Monza, and the same happens with the SP3 in relation to the 330P3, 330P4, 512 S and 512 M. In the case of the 12C, it is also evident to me that it is retro-inspired by the Daytona. In the 296, I can also discern traces of the 250 LM. As for the 849, I confess I can't see anything that relates it to the previous Testarossa , although I can discern clues of the 512 M in its profile.
