    On photos from this angle, the car reminds to be something like a dragster.
    In some way strange.

    The rear seems to be much wider than the front.
    The flank from the doors to the front seems to be very straight and is much more narrow versus the rear fenders.
    Also the straight line middle of the door to the front and the downward sloping shilouette.

    The pic from the dragster is a little bit exessive.

    Have to think both wheels are forged aluminum as only cheap aftermarket ones are cast a fracture more easily. The optional wheels are then milled to give that turning blade look for better or worse

    You know how when you see a new model, that you don't like, you say: "Probably it will be better in person". Definitely NOT the case with the 12Cilindri!

    I like the different colors. Back in the 60’s people made bold specs. Today people’s average taste is limited to so few colors this is refreshing. Giallo Monaco is great and the light green is an unexpected compliment.

    IMO It depends which color one chooses as to which wheel looks better
    For me Celeste Trevi with standard wheel in dark grey

    Doesn't sound like a V12 cylinder!

    I saw 3 cars on the streets of Maranello. Not under the lights during a launch and not static. I saw it moving on the road. For me, that car is simply ugly. And it definitely does not have a typical Ferrari road presence. The funny thing is that one of the cars I saw was having a "Push Start" rental 812GTS just behind it on the road and there was just no comparison :D

    So it's the F8 Tributo of the V12 line, different styling, a little bit more refined, worse sound.
    I am still getting one :p

    The more I see the videos of the car the more I like it. The design is certainly ahead of its time.

    Maybe I am getting old but I remember when car journalists were reviewing a new Ferrari with a big smile on their face.

    I've read some of the reviews of the 12 Cilindri and I've yet to see anything that suggests that the driving experience is significantly different to that of the 812 SF. So far the idea I have is that it is an 812 SF with a similar engine with identical or inferior sound, with latest generation tires and with a more advanced rear steering and traction control not to improve the ride experience but to help the average driver. There are differences at the gear-box level, but to what extent do they contribute significantly to alter the driving experience?
    It seems symptomatic to me that Ferrari has not yet revealed the Fiorano lap time indicating that the 12 Cilindri may be marginally faster than the 812 SF or not even that.

    This review mentions the significant differences between the 812 and 12C

    Matt Prior from Autocar says the 12 C is faster than the 812 SF but on what basis ? As the video below documents, in 2017 Matt drove the 812 SF in Fiorano but this time he didn't have the chance to do the same with the 12 C, therefore has no comparison term. He just limited himself to go around Fiorano with Raffael de Simone. As far as I can remember, this is probably the first time that Ferrari has not allowed journalists to experience the limits of the car on the Fiorano track and in my opinion this is very symptomatic.
