    Car looks great ! Only 7-8 more lb torque though ? I’m sure curve is different and of course car is lighter. Will it beat 720s in acceleration? Will it be faster than Porsche GT2 RS on track ? We will see . We will all get used to the name,

    I don't think the Getrag transmission can handle more.

    Pista is a great name, reminds of Italian track cycling machines. Bianchi, Cinelli, Campagnolo..

    I’m sure torque curve will be much better . I’ll see video today in about 5 hours and should know more then. So far I’m NOT disappointed. I think car will be phenomenal! And 211mph even if unusable is really fast !!

    Not that It bothers me too much, but whoever came up with that name should have foreseen it.
    I'd love to believe that this is Ferrari's trick to see the reactions to the new name, just to swap it at the very last second, but It's extremely unlikely.

    Underwhelming overall to me. Front looks like a snowplow. Miss the days of unfussy beauty e.g. 275GTB. Easy for me to be critical but seems so derived rather than creative.

    If it's the first time they've used Pista - track! - which I think it is, then it is imaginative. GTO has been used at least three times now.

    The interior looks pretty plain to me I like the outside and I was hoping they would do something different from the Rims, center luck maybe.

    For someone who has been visited maranello ''PISTA'' is a good, correct choice for a road legal car that brings track focused elements. I personally like it and I find a lot of logical and historical connections between the car and its name.

    How about we call it Fiorano?

    No,Sergio, we used that one already:rolleyes: ..

    Good idea boss.
