Ferrari Testarossa 849

https://youtu.be/dkG2OD4Pkws?si=C65I6QSL4lyaIR4w

Henry's videos are so enjoyable to watch. They are very well produced. Say what you will about the new Testarossa, (comments below the video are pretty brutal), I really don't think it looks all that terrible. Maybe some side-strakes added would've been a nice homage to the 80s "Red Head", but people hated the look of that car when it arrived on the scene also.

Looks like it’s made out of Legos.

I don't mind it but the yellow color leaves something to be desired, IMO. The front is a little exaggerated.

That's it! Since guys here don't like the car, I'm cancelling my order...

Serious?

If the cancellation fees are too high, you could probably just poke your eyes out.

Might be cheaper.

Can you imagine designing and building a new super car for today's market?

That would be challenging to say the least.

Gordon Murray is doing a great job of it, in my opinion.
