Poll: What do you think of the black strip between the headlights on the 12 Cilindri?

That black strip is the least of the worries. The rear is hideous.

 

apologies for being off model for this post, but I’m at The Greenbrier, Concours this weekend, and they have a lovely Roma in Verde Francesca.

I’d be open to 12 Cilindri in this color, no shields, silver front fascia.

You hearing me FNA?

Looks excellent. Older lady near me has the same car. Always nice to see.

 

I like!

 

The front looks great in my opinion, but the black vents on the hood as well as the weird black rear decklid look off. If Ferrari got rid of those elements, brought back the round taillights (these new designs are not going to age well imo), and brought back round exhaust tips this car would be the best Ferrari design in the last decade.

The molding around the rear arches is phenomenal, but the overall shape/design is let down by some head-scratching stylistic details.

 

Well I find it interesting especially since I have a Daytona in the garage. Actually my older son is trying to convince me do do the new car in the exact same color as my Daytona complete with the stripes I have on the 365GTB/4. I am not so sure but will see.

 

I wish the design concept was more forward oriented as opposed to looking to the past for inspiration. With that said, since this is what they chose, I don’t think you could do the design without the black strip, and it is well executed.

I disagree. When you look at the pics of the car with the black stripe phosotshoped out, you see that the proportion and the shape is fantastic. The black stripe is simply a nod to the past.

 

Nothing Carrozzeria Zanasi can't do.

Si lo quieres quitar todo, lo configuras negro y punto se acabaron las franjas delantera y trasera la mejor opción para quien no le guste , aunque no se si se verá el frontal demasiado plano ,

If you want to remove everything, you configure it black and that's it, the front and rear stripes are gone, the best option for those who don't like it, although I don't know if the front will look too flat,

 

I think the black strip is gorgeous personally. Great balance between modern feel and vintage tribute for the 365 Daytona.

Si te gusta las líneas negras es que te gusta el diseño del coche ya que han cambiado el rumbo de diseño de los w12 ya que si ves el 812 y f12 son conceptos diferentes aunque sean gt y si no te gusta las líneas lo escondes en negro con toda la carrocería o lo configuras con colores oscuros

 

I've noticed that it's in a metallic black (nero daytona) as opposed to being gloss like we're used it. Maybe to match the metallic paint? Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Mr. "Over my dead body" is going to meet the aftermarket body wrappers and lose.

The black bits/delta wing stuff is going to age poorly, IMHO. But as usual with modern Ferraris, we won't really know until we start seeing a selection of them on the road. Dramatic angles often emphasize elements that are less jarring in the real world.

I also think that the black should be extended further. That little piece of body color between the headlight and front wheel bothers me. Bad MSPaint fix below.

 

Yeah that piece looks odd to me, could've been part of the headlights or something.

Anyways... front bar in body color, side bit in black, winglets in body color, etc... all of these parts seem easy to remove and paint/wrap, and relatively cheap to do. I might just do all the variations when I get mine and see what I like best. It's really not as big of a deal as people here make it out to be.

 

Most Daytonas have no black strip
