    Yes, 100% agree, GTO is too big and historical and Pista, to me, is a good match,
    like Challenge Stradale, Scuderia and Speciale before! I like it!
    And for me the car looks better than expected!

    20% more downforce seems a bit poor, it has 20 % more efficiency, so I believe it has more than 390 Kg at 250 km/h. I expect 400-450 kg @ 200 km/h.
    ALso 721 ps is nonsense, 721 BHP that equal 730 PS. Japan site is a bit confused.

    Car looks great and I like the name. “GTO” should be reserved for something much more significant.

    If confirmed 721 CV sounds like a joke for Mclaren, 730 CV would have been more worth.

    Compared to 720 S and Senna, this is Monica Bellucci :p

    I hear you on that. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.o_O

    They mention 8000 - like they did with GTB - but does it really go to that? Tach suggests not.

    Rear is wonderful to me, to each its own tastes, many people disliked the 812 rear, now it's a super successful model for Ferrari, everybody loves it. Every Ferrari must be seen in person, then, after a month or two, you fall in love desperately.

    IMO, the rear is better than the front;)
    Chris, do you have any detailed info regarding the "so-called LE" version of this car? What I heard yesterday was quite demoralizing. They will offer some kinda of a package just for Challenge, C.Clienti and XX drivers as a tailor made car and not as LE car. Plus the cost of this package will cost around 120K Euros, which IMO is insane. For a very hardcore version of a 488 as a LE car this cost difference might have been justifiable but for a special package, I don't know:(

    I don't like the name pista... Something with more heritage would have been suitable...

    Looks similar to the leaked photo if you ask me. Sits properly low and wide.

    I guess we will have to convince ourselves from here on end the name sounds fabulous ;)
    Truth is it sucks.
    I'm sure the performance will make up for the misgiving of such a ridiculously disappointing name.

    I'm sure it's a joke being played on the impatience in all of us.

    I'm not. I don't care what the name stands for in Italian - I think the name sounds stupid because it does and is.

    I'm only hoping I can order one w/o the name badge.

    I heard the same but should get clarification today during the presentation. if the Package includes some standard options plus a few more then it could be ok, but if you have to choose all the standard options you need (Carbon Fiber, Exhaust etc) PLUS the LE Package on top you end up at 500K EUR....

    the idea of a LE Car with individual TM is quite ok but the production should be limited to lets say 500 Cars to Cover all 488 Challenge, GT and the XX / F1 Owners?

    lets see...
