It's always weird to say a Ferrari is uncool, but despite this marvellous blue one in dingo's picture, the M is just not up to the standard the Testarossa or 512TR are :bah:

I think it's a cool little car. Not exceptional, not the easiest to live with, but I wouldn't mind taking one out for a spin. It's quite fast, big engine with 12 cylinders, the last of the Testarossas, and IMO has one of the best looking fronts of them as well. The color scheme is also nice as the lower portions of the car have been painted the same color as the rest of the body (which unlike on some older F cars were just a dull black).
The only uncool part about it is probably the interior, with a bit of a dull looking dash, and not very pretty dials in front of you. The buttons next to the shifter look cheap as hell. But overall, just sneaks past the uncool tag for me.
Getting cheaper too, but for that kinda money, you can get a 550, which supposedly is cheaper to maintain and so on.

Its cool - I don't see how anyone could say that this is an Uncool car... sure the TR was better - but I'd be playing Miami Vice in it :D
You know - Perhaps there should be a Mehn :| 50/50 option for the cool wall too... ? If you really wanted to be accurate that should be there I think

Uncool.
Facelift looks bad, it looks overdesigned.

Seriously uncool!!!
It's the worst looking Ferrari ever made! :x
Uncool because the Testaarossa exists :P
And those wheels are way too small for a "performance" car :|

Uncool.
Weird front and back lights, star trek rims (same as the ones on the FX), still rare though ... partly because they didn't sell a lot :bah:

this is the absolute first Ferrari i ever loved...
for that alone... i have to give no less then a cool...
but it was the first mid engine v12 ferrari road car... and in its day, was incredibly fast in the midst of EPA sports car killing...
its hard to imagine what Willi Koenig did with the car... :drool:
i give this car a SubZero... but i know i'll be in the minority.

Testarossa was cool, 512tr was subzero... but the F512M was uncool :? never liked the front and rear lights, and the wheels :?
ditto :wink:

Fabulous engine, but the F355 was always a better, nimbler, quicker car, so it has to be uncool.

well, i guess this car is the 'final' Testarossa as the 512M... but i concider the original the one i voted for... as at the time, it was the Ferrari to own, much more then the other 80's F cars besides the F40...

Yeah, alright, I can concede that the Testarossa of the '80's and even the 512 TR of the early '90's were good, but not excellent cars with outlandish styling and were on as many bedside posters as the Countach. I even have one somewhere hehe. It really is a hell of an engine too, there's nothing like that flat-12 wail.

as a big testarossa fan this one has to be uncool and i never liked those head lights, they don't suit to this car.

Uncool imo cause of restyling of marvelous 512 :?

I'm with basically everybody on this, the restyling turned out pretty bad, it just doesn't have the cool flip up lights from the Testarossa. Uncool.

Uncool. Sure it has that flat-12 incredible engine but the redesigned front is no match for the original testarossa's. I do like the rear lights though.

Subzero, seeing this car in real takes my breath away every time. Driving this car as a passenger impressed me very much, maybe that's where my love for this car comes from.

A bad attempt in trying to improve the styling. There is only one Testarossa and this certainly isn't it :( And no pop-up lights :( Uncool :(

I'm pretty sure that takes the ugly cake over the M.
As for the M, I absolutely love it. My favourite of the modern Testarossas.

cool. i have a poster of a couple of ferraris in my room, there's a yellow 1 of these on it too, and it looks pretty awesome imo, although i guess the TR looked even better...
btw this isnt even close to being the ugliest ferrari ever
the Rossa is we better. but this is still cool

The Testarossa I will always charish. This is a Ferrari, no mistake in that, its just that the makeover didn't work, it doesn't bring that ferrari magic any more ...
Uncool for me (just!)
