'Official' F12M Rumours and Launch

I agree with you, but you must understand I am not Ferrari employee so I must build whole puzzle step by step
We must start from small parts, dont you agree

 

Wow Milanno- great work! Thanks for sharing

 

The lines in the back will be more horizontal and less vertical. The internal design team seems to prefer a flatter/squatter look for the the back. Just look at the backs of CaliT, 488 and the GTC4 Lusso.

 

I think that, since the next car will not be a lifted f12, but a new generation model, that it will be much different from a mixing of gtc4 and f12; actually at this point I'm very interested in the rear treatment and as Tim said, it will be a very sporty car, much more aggressive with respect to old gt v12 cars. Finally Ferrari got tired of McLaren and decided to change its game. Now I'm looking forward to see this one and next 488 VS.

 

Obviously not an attempt to the final car but a very good render for the quad-taillight concept in a F12 and a hint for a possible F12M rear. I have to say that it looks awesome!

Thank you!

 

Is there a consensus on this? I thought we were expecting a F12M, that is, structurally based on the F12, not a new platform.

 

Looking at the video, and slowing down, I took two screen shots. If you look at the rear window quarter, you can see that the body work comes from the roof down to the wing (depth to window) This suggests an aero bridge maybe, similar to that on the 599 ?

Thanx again everyone for kind words regarding renders

I completely agree with you, while I would add that they are not doing that for no specific reason. They are getting back "angular" era along with twin taillights, so latest designs from Ferrari are deeply connected with some past models.

I assume that openings we see on either side of the headlights are there so they can test complete aeroflow - from bonnet, through aero bridge, than through new intake behind doors and I assume exit will be located on rear bumper.

I`ve made additional render so its easier to see what I have in mind:

Great render!
I wonder if they call this the Aero Tunnel

 

Wow Milanno, really great work. I agree though the video slowdown by Paul (montpellier) and discussion with Tim to me suggest some kind of 599 themed/ styled elements. Perhaps they will keep the steeper rake to the rear hatch from the F12tdf, thus making the C pillars more upright and allowing these buttresses?

 

SO GLAD they are going back to 4 tail lights. Looks so much better

 

Thank you my friend. I will wait for new spy shots/videos so we can see what will be the case - 599 styled bridge or something else. Currently I am still unable to (visually) integrate 599 style bridge on F12.

Funnily enough I took exactly the same screenshots yesterday but didn't get around to posting. I think Milanno's render might be more accurate than at first it appears. I saw the same thing as Montpellier, maybe a 599 buttress idea, but the picture of the car's right flank, entering the compound, clearly shows some sort of indentation ahead of the wheelarch, like a vent opening?

The wraparound at the back on that same shot seems to suggest that there would be no sense to a buttress - where would the air flow go? The rear of the 599 was steeper than the F12 and this car.

 

I took closer look on second spy shot rockitman uploaded on his last post. There is one specific line behind front fender that gave me inspiration how to start with adjustments on side profile.

This is first RAW render, so expect better quality later. As most of you know Ferrari design language I am not posting detailed list of adjustments and why I used some specific shapes (some from LaF, some from vintage models) to form design that you see on render below. Also be aware that I am following design philosophy from Ferrari Styling Centre (angular design on new models):

Here you can see design flow lines through side profile:

I think you might be on to something here but I really don't know- it just looks plausible to my eyes. You just have to remove (sadly) the PF badge... Yeah, I wish I had 1/100th Milanno's skills!

 

Nice exercise on the side! Hopefully in the next days further hints surface about the C-pillar and hatch -definitely something is going on there.

Enjoying this thread, great mock ups Milanno.

I'm very interested in what happens to the rear, maybe its my mind playing tricks on me but I see something of the Superamerica under there...

From the photos, it appears to have the 488 aileron tunnel! (with the slot opening)

 

You are not alone - see prior post #41. The fake gas cap panel seems to indicate that the real cap is lower on the body and possibly no hatchback in favor of rear windscreen. Body/platform is definitely F12-based. Hood has vent higher up and intakes above lights like Speciale. Rear is combination of tdf and 488 with blown spoiler. Might be hard to integrate all these and make it look good. We'll see. Betting on flaps and gills though. Interior is bigger mystery IMO.
