I'll promise:
This car will be stunning, of course performance-wise, but also design-wise.
And I place a bet:
99% of those, who are still moaning about the 599's design at the moment,

Good observation. In fact, I had noticed this feature on the prototypes and is shown in my sketch...
Are you some sort of psychic???

"Its a stunning achievement, especially when you remember that Ferrari lugs more emotional baggage around with it than virtually anoyone else.

It understands its history, but it prefers modern solutions.'

There are design elements on the 288GTO that harken back to the 250GTO (notably the vertical slits around the front wheels)...
