Well, will wait to see it in the metal next month and on the road soon, but so far, damn cool!

LotusGT1 01-30-2006 06:16 PM

Uncool. Looks like any other mid-80s japanese sportscar, unworthy of Ferrari.

sentra_dude 01-30-2006 07:22 PM

The 550/575 was such a good looking car...and this one is so...ugly. :roll: Looks aren't everything, so hopefully this car will redeem itself with excellent performance and a nice sound.

Unique, and like all recent ferraris well ahead of any other manufacturer in terms of design. Like the Enzo, will grow on me, and im sure on most people. I like the design trend ferrari is on, contemporary redefinition of a sports car. Hell, a lot more interesesting to look at then another 911.

bmagni 01-30-2006 10:03 PM

cool, first time I saw it I hated it but then I took some tiem to appreciate it and now I like it...

nthfinity 01-31-2006 12:40 AM

im going to hold off on voting or commenting directly until i see it in the flesh... initially... im still thinking that Ferrari should move away from Pininfarina design; and move to giugairo (sp) as they are the ones making amazing style the last 5 years or so...

ae86_16v 01-31-2006 03:24 AM

Can't stand the taillights. Otherwise, everything else on this car is good. Love the aggressive front end.

JoeHahn 01-31-2006 03:43 AM

I think its a bit early to tell, considering the car hasnt been seen other than spy pics/factory photos. The car is quite an eyesore but it does have its good points. Mainly having a derivative of an Enzo engine and being lighter than its predecessor help. I'm not one to say it about most Ferrari's but at the moment this car is kinda cool

yg60m 01-31-2006 05:26 AM

My heart say uncool but I think I have to get used to ... and it is a Ferrari, it is worth a Cool alone !! :P

htfaber 01-31-2006 08:41 AM

I love it. I wasn't blown away by it to be honest when I saw it the first time. But I like it more than the first time I saw the 550.
I really like subtle details like the open C-pillars, the way the bonnet goes down, the airvent behind the wheelarches that move up. And strangely I also like the one taillight. At first I thought it was stupid not to use two, but hey, it does look nice.

And it will probably drive like a dream, making the SLR look pale. This is defenitely a Ferrari I'd like to have. Cool

Skaala 01-31-2006 09:04 AM

cool car, but it reminds me a bit too much of the 612 :?

Honda_PoD 01-31-2006 11:02 AM

uncool it lacks the passion a Ferrari should.

stmoritzer 01-31-2006 01:18 PM

I voted "cool", IMO it's too early to put this car in the competition...
one can only judge by the design, but at the end, one needs to see the real car, the videos, the stories, the mythos (if any).... to give a proper decision

black_magician 01-31-2006 01:22 PM

I can't really judge this with some pictures of a car that isn't even on the road yet. voted cool, since it looks cool, but it's really not a proper decision.

pzgren 01-31-2006 01:30 PM

cannot decide yet, i first have to see it real... i'm waving between cool and uncool when looking at the pics...

sameerrao 01-31-2006 01:52 PM

I hate the rear of this car - too much Lexus. Teh front looks nice. Overall an uncool IMO.

But I remember thinking the 550M was bland when it first came out (compared to its predecessor) and now I think it is one of the nicest looking modern Ferraris. So maybe with passage of time I will upgrade the rating of the car too

crayzayjay 02-01-2006 08:46 PM

Uncool. Looks like it was designed for a computer game....

graywolf624 02-01-2006 09:20 PM

cool.. I kinda like it.. It's certainly better lookign then the 612.

agreed .

chest3r 02-08-2006 12:04 PM

Cool!!

Don't you think it's too soon to have an opinion about it ??:? I think I really like it but I've only seen this official pics so far.

The wheels are really weird ( I would say horribles but that's too strong )!!

DeMoN 02-09-2006 12:14 AM

I wont give it seriously uncool only cuz its a Ferrari. Damn why does it look so ugly?

Vansquish 02-13-2006 04:20 AM

Unfortunately I had to vote "uncool" on this one. The 599 GTB certainly has the performance credentials, aerodynamic finesse, power and sportive-luxury that a true GT car from Ferrari should have. Unfortunately I think that the styling, like that of the 612 will probably date fairly quickly and unlike current Astons, it is neither beautiful, nor exactly coherent. As such, purely from a design standpoint, I think it falls flat. Pininfarina has been going in strange directions of late and for me, the 599 GTB looks too reptilian to deserve a "cool" rating or higher.

TaZ 03-31-2006 03:56 PM

This car is awsome ..it has elements from Enzo and 430 ..an at the moment is the fastest luxury sport car with some 600 bhp...FERRARI RULEZ

5.7 V10 06-11-2006 01:27 PM

I like the rear end, but the front is a mixed reaction for me. However seeing as the 599 will be the first true competetior to the SLR McLaren with it's 620PS V12 i'll give it Cool.

Fleischmann 06-11-2006 02:12 PM

it's cool. At first I hated it but now it's grown on me. And that's it's key... it's controversial. If you see one live, you either love it or hate it, it won't leave you undecided. And it has plenty of character.

RF1 06-12-2006 04:49 PM

Not sure...
cool/uncool (cool is closer) :)

You are right
But Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano for me, has perfect shape 8)

saadie 06-12-2006 04:52 PM

i dont see the point of this ....... its performance is ok .. but styling is poop .... uncool .... this is not what ferrari is all bout doh

stmoritzer 11-28-2006 10:27 AM

just adding a comment

this is a Grandpa massive looking car with Enzo-performance :fuck:
impressive, respect!

Mattk 11-29-2006 02:51 AM

This is a unique design, which I think is cool. 8)

dons5 11-29-2006 03:27 AM

its performance is ok but styling is poop lol thats the funniest thing ive heard. If you havent seen one in real life especially if its on the road moving then its very hard to comment. You will be stunned when see one.

dons5 11-29-2006 03:30 AM

why cant i vote??

Mattk 11-29-2006 05:28 AM

^Probably because you've already voted?

FellipeM 02-08-2007 02:32 PM

the technology is amazing... but about the looks...
I really prefer the 575/550 8) just cool...
never subzero

liveaxle 11-23-2008 10:21 PM

Effective, cold, uncool
 
This car would leave every opponent for dead in any test, but it has become something of a cold blooded machine. Compare it to the Daytona or the 275, and you will see what I mean.
Feel free to post you rants at me for this, but I think it is uncool.
