    Whilst one thread is runner no on our favourite of the three variants, as Deltona suggested, but doing so sooner than I thought, lets canvas views on just these two.

    Sorry poll didn't work, will try again

    For the exterior, my vote goes to F12b. As expected, the rear end of the 812 is like GTC4.

    interesting question I own a F12 and really like the styling... I have to say the new 812 at first look not crazy about it but I am sure that it will be like every other Ferrari and in person will look great ... so I guess 812

    Superfast is the beast to have - Never really got excited about F12B . That's just my opinion :)

    I think the F12b is superhard to beat.

    However.

    HOWEVER.

    This one comes damn close.

    I need to give it some time. There are a few details on the rear I'm still absorbing (I know, 'that's what she said'). Not sure I've come to terms yet with how the rear seems to be "framed" due to the aero work. I don't mind the GTC4 resemblance.

    But.

    Lot of potential here. I need to take some more time.

    In any case, exciting to see a result that makes it a close call!

    They did good.

    Definitely F12 berlinetta. See my post #214 in "The Official Ferrari 812 SUPERFAST pictures thread".

    Time will tell of course. My concern with the new car is the same as with the Lusso, the details that in person disappoint. Dumb looking steering wheel with large/clunky turn signals and a cheap feeling mannetino ... rear lights that are a bad Corvette-ish gimmick in person ... and overall styling that is trying too hard/doing too much. F12b has some Italian elegance and restraint from PF. It's surely a monster on the track, but for real life the F12b is a daily that can do wonders on the track too, so what do YOU like is the question, no wrong answers, I like PF/Ferraris.

    Today front of 812 seems just twice more beautiful as yesterday, give it some time, see it in flesh, will really be a wonder. Less simple and complex than f12, yes, but for me more captivating. I think that in som year will be appreciated quite like a TDF. I trust Manzoni and every Ferrari needs time to grow in heart, after, it conquers both eyes and soul. 812 for me
