    They’re claiming the front is inspired by 308…

    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.

    After all, the 849TR is a regular production model.

    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.
