Way too busy. They ruined the new NSX the same way. Lines for the sake of lines. Overall a nice shape though.

Strange cowcatcher front end treatment. Still love the Ferrari's of the 1960's....

I like the shape but it's a little too oragami for me. Probably fast and functional but not beautiful.

Nothing ever needs more cowbell these days.

don't like the nose and that black line fro door to nose at all
or the back end
or the side view
those wheels suck quite a bit too.
hell , even those exhaust tips look overdone.


I do like the roundness of the tires

It has that coveted ghetto athletic shoe look.

I will be the one old guy (for now) that agrees with you, absolutely breautiful!

Of course I couldn't afford a tune up on the bloody thing! :D

The sides look like it got "T" boned, but otherwise it is pretty nice looking albeit a tad over the top.

It's got a bit of an anime thing going on. Not my style but I can certainly understand the appeal.

I admit it is a bit overdone but that just seems to be the current style in sports cars:

We might as well wish for F1 cars that look like they came out of the 1960's -1970's

Way overdone. Japanese influence. What ever happened to this:

The only thing missing is Christie Brinkley

good call, it's a manga Ferrari.

can't get enough of the front fender and windshield blend

Looks a little guy Smiley.

I'd have to see it in person to form an opinion.

Kind of like a freaky red-head who doesn't know how to wear a thong.

Heck, you can still purchase 7.62.....

What's with the angry eyes on today's cars?:rolleyes:

Why is it LHD?

I liked the 599 GTO, which had the beginnings of that organic look, and so did the Porsche GT-1 Evo. You can argue that the organic look had it's roots in the 908, or the 356 for that matter.

In moderation it's good, as in the second generation Cayman. The car that i really wish went to production was a study model that Harm Lagaay was holding.

Beautiful, but IMHO the 308/328 were the most beautiful of the 'modern' Ferraris.

Except the 288GTO, all-time fave.

Tough crowd. I like it. A lot. Interesting lines and shapes. Low, sexy and fast...looking. Probably even better in the flesh. Would happily clear space in my humble carriage house.

Not bad, especially compared to the lambo and corvette posted above. Yikes!?

For my tastes, when it comes to Ferrari:
Modern=95 355 with a 6 speed
Classic=67 330GTC. Not the quad headlight one.

The 308 has carried on, as the 328, 348, 355, 360, 430, and 488(?)

Not sure what the current model is, I sort of stopped following Ferrari's when I realized I liked the 944 much better than any Ferrari that wasn't a collector like the BB Porsche-o-Phile posted.

That would be a McLaren P1. BTW, don't get me wrong - I would not kick it out of the garage for leaking oil on the floor or anything like that.

If the 308 had carried on

To my eye, it looks to be much more derivative of the F50 than the 308. That thick black beltline is a callback as well as the "open star" wheel design. As well as the fact they went with the same number; F50... J50?

And re: "the origami thing," I think we're pretty much stuck with that insofar as supercar design for the foreseeable future. There might be a retro-ish design or two once in awhile, but lots of sharp edges seem to be here to stay. The current and future crop of high-end buyers demand as much "radical edginess" as the designers can supply.

wow....... wish I had the money....

Same here. After the 355 I'm really not familiar with Ferrari anymore.
