it has too many hints of the corvette for me...the 550 was 1 of the most beautiful ferrari's of all time, this doesnt even come close for me...which doesnt mean it looks bad by the way

I agree with gucom, I can definetly see the corvette in it, in the front at least, the way the hood curves down and the way the headlights looks from the side makes it look like the C6 IMO...

Aside from that, the front looks quite good, I'm not sure if the hood goes along with the rest of the car, it seems quite edgy compared to the rest...they should've just left the vents and not make that thing in the middle of it.

The air vents on the side makes it look a bit busy when you compare it with the 550/575, I think stylingwise just one vent would've been enough...I can get used to that...

I love shape of the rear window combined with the C pillar, it's a nice detail indeed. But where are the tradicional 4 tailights? that's the thing that shocks me the most, i know not all Ferraris had them, but come on that's one of the styling cues you can't take off of a modern Ferrari...kinda makes it look like the C8 with one on each side...oh and the wheels are nasty.

Other than that, I think the car looks quite good and I'm sure I will grow to love it just like I did with the 430...

I just imagined the Ferrari with a black roof (like the Gallardo SE) and I think that would just look stunning especially in this picture. Too bad I haven't got the skills to show it to you guys, so we will have to imagine.

I've looked at it some time now and I really think it's a pretty car. I do worry a bit about the diffuser as the picture underneath shows.....I really think it's gonna be this big!

Great pic! I think it looks superb, but I'm suprised not to find a manettino.

That isn't the real interior... its from the GG50 concept car.

And htfaber, if you look really hard at the rear 3/4 view you can see that it does have a manettino switch on the steering wheel

I'm with Dani...the name sounds excellent. It rolls off the tongue like one of the beautiful, classy Ferrari's of the early days of the company. I really hope they do this instead of the 600 Imola.
