    Not being an owner, just a dreamer not considering usability, I choose barchetta, 550 style. The 550 Barchetta is one of my favorite Ferraris (which means cars in general) of all time. Rosso Fiorano with Crema interior please!

    im going with the folding hard top.
    that seems to me like the most practical idea in terms of styling.

    I think something like a 355 GTS would be great...If not that then definately a SuperAmerica top!

    My vote: Flip top Superamerica style.

    Maximizes weekend usability, as the top does not occupy the trunk when down, allowing for more luggage space / golf clubs etc.

    My bet is that Ferrari will do a hardtop like the superamerica. The flying buttresses looks like it was designed with that in mind.

    Superamerica style top is most likely the correct one, otherwise they wouldn't have spent so much time and money developing a version for the 575. I think they might have learned their lesson with the barchetta.

    wouldnt a folding hardtop just wreck the handling though?

    I go for the Fioravanti-roof.
    This way Ferrari can maintain the C-pillars, the main stylingfeature, for aerodynamic purposes.

    A GTS as a targa would also be very nice, indeed!

    I'll convert some images to a targa and a Spider aswell.
    Then it would be easier to make your choises. ;)

    This,really makes sense.
    It also looks like an official release from Ferrari.
    Great job!

    Thanks!

    For those who don't like the Flip flop roof, here is a 599 GTS as a Softtop Spyder:

    I really did not like the top on the 575 Superamerica... but from that great photoshop, I think that the 599's style is well suited for the flop top.

    Are you trying to be hired by Ferrari as their new design chief?

    I consider that as a great compliment, but no...
    I'm not a very great designer, just a creative mind with a tool called Photoshop.

    I'm still young and have to develope myself much more to become good enough for Ferrari/Pininfarina.
