    I still think the FF is stunningly beautiful after 10+ years. The Lusso isn’t too far behind.

    Perhaps this is irony - perhaps not - there are no more than a thousand of these letters and yet there are 7.9 billion people on the planet - to me that makes having this letter pretty special

    Engine size shouldn’t really matter when it comes to sound. If anything a smaller block should be able to rev higher and more freely. The GMA runs a 4 L v12 and is quite possibly the best sounding road car ever made (although I understand a similar engine would not be practical in a more highly produced Ferrari).

    More likely the crazy EU noise regulations are to thank for the lack of sound rather than the engine itself.

    Where did the 1,000 number come from? Is that expected number of V12’s to be built and offered to top tier customers?

    The dash in the Purosangue is at least double the depth of the one in the Lusso I'd say that extra size is hiding a big V12

    No one has confirmed there is a new V12 in the pipeline.

    I assume one can option the wheel fenders in body color? Why are they depicted as being black or CF?

    This will look best in light colors, but menacing in black. If the fenders are black plastic like my Model X, dark colors are the way to go.

    If the fenders are black plastic like your Model X, I would seriously reconsider paying 400k+ for it, lol.

    People can only reconsider if they got the invite to order one.

    Yes and the rear doors are larger than the renders (proportional t size) unless they are really only one door in the back, or suicide doors, it will be less swoopy and longer.

    I’m thinking Nero Daytona to downplay size and plastic unless CF is available then, GT or AN with outside CF. That said, CF has little role in a true GT sedan/FUV/whatever.

    If you love the flared surfaces, light, if not dark.
