    Really curious about how the four tail lights are gonna look. I still have mixed feelings about the Lusso. Hoping it looks better than the Lusso.

    Makes perfectly sense. I'm not that much into Ferrari race cars so that didn't cross my mind at first. Anyway, thanks for the answer and sorry for the off-topic post.

    Faster than the F12 which means very fast! You will only have to wait just a few days for to know the details.

    Due to the bigger displacement of engine?

    Probably the same block and heads, so no, not because of the larger displacement. Sometimes larger displacement engines are lighter than a smaller displacement based on the same block and head configuration.

    Question is how much faster. Between the 488 and TdF, or maybe it will surpass the TdF like the F12B surpassed the 599GTO?

    It will surely be interesting to see what they'll bring to the table in any case.

    It sure would be nice if Milano could do a rendering or two with your description!

    Somewhat of a dilemma for them.

    Remember F12B to GTO was a model change, two totally different cars. This is 'just' a radical Mid life.

    I imagine very close to tdf lap time but tdf just clear albeit a very different driving experience.

    Ferr9000 posted pretty general observations, so currently I am unable to produce any kind of render that would represent what he saw. We must wait for someone who had much better, and up-close view on F12M.

    True. But with Ferrari, we never know.

    An interesting view is that the F12M will be faster than the TdF in the hands of common drivers. No doubt that the TdF is fast, but it also looks to be a handful.

    Let's just hope it's not this kind of "aggressive & less elegant" ...[/QUOTE]

    Did it look anything like the photo which is in post #31 of this thread?

    Sit tight, you might very well do......I understand that the "evolved" F12 "m" is not for all of us (from an aesthetic perspective)
