    Really? I do not like it. Door line looks way too much like Cali-and that is not a good sign IMHO...

    Re: F450 with no camo

    599 elements in it (the "side wing" up behindthe side window)...

    only two rear lights as the proto I've seen at the factory (I say it because of the rear large fenders)...

    almost lotus elise headlights (similar to california)...

    I believe I will keep the Scuderia or get a GT3....

    From what I've seen I'm out... sorry, don't like it.

    Re: F450 with no camo

    I love the voluptuous fenders that recall the 246 Dino.  The wedge shape of the 348/355/360/430 has played out after 20 years , but as with all things design, wait another 20 years and by then " retro  wedge " will be back.

    Yeah, imho I'd rather see the whole thing before judging it's looks.

    I just hope we're not looking at a turbo charged car.

    Re: F450 with no camo

    The rear quarter looks very cool so far, like a rounded Enzo version.

    Should be much easier to get a car nowadys too, with a good % of the speculators out of the market. THANK GOD! & good riddance.

    Look how low it is in comparison to the California in the first pic.

    From what I can see so far, I think I like it.

    It has potential.

    I'm happy that they moved away from 360 shape a bit more. It was getting to fat looking.

    What I dont like ist definetly the mirror. WHY is it stuck like it is growing from the door panel!? Why don't they do a nice modern AMv8 or Zonda like rearview mirror?! It would be so nice on it.

    Re: F450 with no camo

    I will reserve judgment but based on thses picture I am little more optimistic.

    Gregg, if this car is a stunner the speculators will be out in force. Good customers like you and I will have to fight to keep our slot. Many of these dealers are taking a financial beating and the sight of a lot of green will be just too much to resist.

    Ferrari has made it clear that if any dealer is caught selling above MSRP they will be severely punished. But we both know dealers can circumvent any Ferrari policy.

    Ferrari has made it clear that if any dealer is caught selling above MSRP they will be severely punished. But we both know dealers can circumvent any Ferrari policy.

    Dealership owners have been known to line up their golfing buddies who "buy " a highly desired, but manufacturer mandated " not above MSRP " model at " invoice", park it in back of dealership storage lot , " sell " it back to dealer to cover invoice plus taxes days later . Voila ! ...- " used , delivery miles " cars that can now be sold by that dealer at market price, where manufacturer has no legal control. Dealer buys buddy a steak dinner or may even split the profits depending on their relationship.

    Of course the Scuderia should be a tad more aggressive, not for nothing it is the street version of the race version of a street legal sportscar. Smiley

    But I think the new car could be a stunner, from what we can see now. There are still many things missing like front and rear bumper, you can't see much of the side skirts and the roof line is not fully visible. That could change a lot and give a harmonious design in the end, if they do these things right. Smiley
