    If Ferrari has raised the bar to the extent it has with this car, I can only imagine what the 430 replacement will be like.

    Prob hard to ever go back to a mere 8 after becoming accustomed to a 12 and its effortless tq....

    Besides, F 8's are too non-exclusive and ricer-like in any economically relevant locale in the world.....

    Absolutely the best interior I've ever seen. The seats alone are to die for. The carbon fibre pieces are superb.

    I prefer the IMO sporty F430 cockpit without the center console, the 599 is much too GT-esque and pompous for my taste.

    The Recaro seats are a treat, though.

    I was talking about the racing buckets and the quality of the switches and the materials in the 599. Superb if you ask me. Of course the missing centre console in the F430 gives the cabin a rather airy touch, but with the choice of materials of the 599 it would be even better.

    Who ever washed it should be shot. Holograms everywhere. Poor paint, totally abused.
