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

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

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.

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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.
