Ferrari 12 Cilindri Announced
By: patrick_y : May 3rd, 2024-12:29
New Ferrari 12 Cilindri looks in-cohesive in my non-expert opinion. I do not have a Master of Fine Arts nor any deep work experience in the art world. Surely, the performance will be phenomenal. The engine is still naturally aspirated with approximately 8...
It certainly looks beautiful. Thanks for the pictures, Patrick.

I agree that the name, and other Italian car model names, like Quattroporte, are a bit daft and yet they sound exotic to a native English speaker. If Aston Martin called one of their cars the "Two Door" they would be ridiculed by the UK motoring press. Bu...
Bene bene bene! La Dolce Vita!

So true! Thank you for your straightforward yet totally on-point analysis. Especially to Americans - anything in Italian sounds great. I understand very little Italian - and yet I still like Puccini Operas. What Italian opera aria shall I listen to today?...
Exactly.

I really don't understand why we Italians tend to give names to our cars that English native speakers will find almost impossble to pronounce correctly. Youtube is full of car contents where even car owners are completely incapable of pronouncing the name...

Looks to me quite a bit line the Roma coupe. I don't think it is ugly, but it not beautiful to me either.
Go to Vancouver...

Almost all of the people driving fancy cars (lots of Lamborghinis and Ferraris) are all very well fed kids from one country.
It's official folks, i'm old. Prefer the older designs.
By: enjoythemusic : May 3rd, 2024-13:47
The new ones over the past decade or two sure look modern, and they surely measure well in a wind tunnel too. Am also sure all those onboard computers can assist even someone with minimal piloting talent to achieve ok lap times. But there's something insi...
I like the older designs too...
By: patrick_y : May 4th, 2024-02:53
I really like the 575M, the 599, and the F12. 812 was a little edgy for me, but still beautiful. This one, I'm not sure I like so much. Shouldn't make too many judgments until I see it in person though.
Solid chocies. Am more a 1950s to 1980s guy.

Personally, was only able to enjoy a Euro-spec 308GTS QV for both public roadways and road course tracking for a few years until the engine needed a complete rebuild from tracking her )... Look at the subtle curves and lines and humps and... if you really...

I guess I'll just have to search for a manual 599 π€£

...I too believe it looks a little Ian Callum inspired (Aston Martin). Not that that is a bad thing.
Well I wouldnβt throw it out of bedβ¦
By: myles721 : May 3rd, 2024-15:03
having said that I think ICE car design is played outβ¦the future (like it or not) will belong to the conformities of EV design limitationsβ¦
It looks electric to me, so not a fan.

For me pinnacle modern Ferrari was the 458 Speciale. I may circle back and get one in the future but I promised my wife I would give car purchases a break. Plus I need to enjoy what I have before adding another.
The unusual feature is the rear window

By: InHavenPro : May 3rd, 2024-17:12
I happen to like this design more than any other they have come up with over the past twenty odd years.... In my opinion, it is simple yet effective. It doesn't come across as trying too hard, which most of their styling has to me in modern times. I look ...

You're welcome!

I'm really curious to how the new DB12 drives. It looks so darn good. And the new Vantage - again, looks so darn good. The previous Vantage was interesting.
I know....
By: InHavenPro : May 4th, 2024-03:18
That the local SoCal dealers all have demonstration vehicles, so I'm sure I'll get to driving one this summer or fall.... My 'problem' is that once I've specced one the way I fancy it most, it nudges $350K before taxes, and it still doesn't have a V12 π.....
I know!
By: InHavenPro : May 5th, 2024-22:34
In my opinion, too much for a car that doesn't even have a V12. I wouldn't actually spend more than $300K on the V8 version, I don't think it computes otherwise....
DB12
By: InHavenPro : May 6th, 2024-05:39
But ... For that kind of money, it ought to have a V12 engine!! π
It starts at $250K....
By: InHavenPro : May 6th, 2024-05:41
And the options are ridiculously expensive !! Especially if you opt for a specialty paint which can cost $20K on its own....
I know....

I'm waiting to see what happens before this winter, and then I'll make the most sensible emotional decision possible LoL ππ....

Sublima! 365 that steer and drive like a modern car with all the comfort u need. I hope for the spider, yes, that is of the famous tv series.
Why do many sharp angles?
By: Henke : May 3rd, 2024-17:54
And all the black plasticky looking parts? Where are the flowing lines of the 458 and f12? Paint it grey, give me earplugs and I would mistake it for a Hyundai ioniq...

The 458 is probably the most beautiful car in recent memory for me...so I definitely don't have anything against Ferraris! If I got a recent Ferrari though, it would probably be the FF - I have a soft spot for quirky cars. I just can't stand the new trend...
