    Great video, the presenter mentions the three colours of the cars shown:

    Three Layer White

    Blue Tour de France

    Grigio Nurburgring - Is this a new colour similar to Grigio Silverstone or is he mistaken?

    I've never once driven my f40 and thought to myself "I wish it was N/A"

    Same engine sound of F12 , a step up from The old FF

    Surely mistaken, he meant Silverstone but it even isn't as I suspect it's launch color Nuovo Ferro Met.

    Funny how no-one ever mentions this. IMHO 99.9% of diehard NA fans will line up to get a F40 is someone offered them one at a price they can afford.
    This NA vs Turbo debate is getting old. What is Ferrari supposed to do, go back to making 500 cars a year so that it can meet the regs? Fight a trend that is inevitable? We all can debate ad-nauseam whether the regs are proper or not but guess what Ferrari did not make them and they have to comply with them.
    While we are at it, why not go back to carbs and catless cars.
    I love the V12 too and would have preferred to have a small V12 mated with a hybrid plant rather than a V8 Turbo but the technology is not financially viable yet and dependable enough (I am sure Porsche would have done so if it was) but it will come. In the meanwhile, why not celebrate that Ferrari will still offer a V12, enjoy the V8 Turbo and wait for the hybrids to come.

    Whilst I prefer the sound of an NA V12 we all know they need to go turbocharged.

    I have nothing against turbo charging, however the F40 is a turbo charged car that sounds amazing to my ears. A V8T Cali or 488 don't sound that good to me.

    I think you're right. Also, I just realised he was getting confused with Argento Nurburgring. :)

    The Exaust of an F40 is something impossible to do today!!! The law for Co2 emission levels today exist and you will not be able to do a sound like an old TURBO supercar

    Production run of 3 years. I was told at the launching event.

    Now...I think I can not afford this one.
    Only 3 years with mix of v8 means loads of depreciation even more than FF.

    I will start looking at lastly produced FFs sitting on the dealer floor or ordering California.

    If I buy one, this will be 3rd FF for me so I am hesitating.

    I was told yesterday by my dealer that the Lusso will run until late 2021 with its replacement shown at Geneva 2021 plus if I wanted an F12 all I had to do was order one as the tdf has sold out and normal F12s are satisfying the disappointed few.
    He affirmed the rumour that F12 production had finished was nonsense.

    Plus it is extremely unlikely that if the V8 Lusso ever breaks cover it would almost certainly not be sold alongside the V12 in Europe or the US

    I got a chance to start and rev the engin of a gtc4lusso recently, I can confirm that it fires up quietly but screams like f12 on high rpm, very exciting!
