    The replacement mid rear engine Ferrari is the new 849.

    The design uses the current strategy of Centro Stile.

    Front stripe is now nothing special. Let’s hope they use it in the Purosangue next.

    Black plastic trim, also known as Dead Body trim, appears randomly on the exterior.

    If you wanted an F8 but were denied, then 849 ?

    If you are on the waiting list for the 12C spider do you switch to the 849 spider?

    Looking at the car and I'm confused. I imagine sitting in it is pretty damn special.

    The metal H style center console is now made to float. Wow that really imaginative design! Looks so elegant too.

    Maybe the design team will bless the Amalfi spider with a floating H bridge too!

    Ok I do like it!

    I’m just excited that so many are hating on the 849TR and giving a break to hating on the 12C! :)

    There is no coherence in moving from one to the other; the first is the last of the NA V12 family that symbolizes the brand's history, while the other is a hybrid TT V8... it's like comparing rags and towels.

    I really didn’t like the interior and driver interface of the 12C. Plus I really struggled with some of the exterior design of the rear end. But that’s just my own preference . It ended up with me doing a black car to mute things. That’s not a good solution. I may decide to pick up a 12C later
