Re: 488 Replacement
Enmanuel:Ferrari should either go back to Pininfarina as a design partner or just let whoever led the SP1/2 design teams take the reigns.
Absolutely agree.

But is styling negatively affecting sales? No. Perhaps Ferrari are actually giving their actual customers what they want?

Re: 488 Replacement
The more I see now pictures of this new car I think it is a mess.
I think Ferrari is struggling with its design. I don't see where they are heading to. This car has so many different design elements. It seems they didn't know what to add to make it different and cool. The solution was a mess of design elements which they took from other Ferraris or other designs pinned them on top of a 488. Rear end from a super fast. the hood from a McLaren, the side skirts from the GTB, etc.
I said it before. Ferrari and Porsche are not moving with their design and layout. While both have chassis like cars 30 years back (from geometry and layout). In sense of design, the 992 at least follows the same old roots but Ferrari builds cars like little boys would do with their Lego kit. Totally lost in the design world!
I think it has a reason why today little kids adore McLaren and Lambo more than a Ferrari.

Good point. I know many Ferrari owners who were complaining about the styling of the new F8 Tributo but some of them are definitely getting one, the power upgrade is just too impressive to pass on.
The best deal right now, for Ferrari novices, seems to be the F12 though: Prices have fallen, very good car, amazing engine.

Ferrari doesn’t care about their old customers no more. They just want to attract new first time buyers.
Believe it or not, most people think the 488 looks better than the 458. Which is crazy!! Same goes with the 812 and the F12. I think the F12 is one of the best looking modern Ferraris. Even the controversial lower back.
Re: 488 Replacement
I like the F8 Tributo for it's power output and performance level but the design is way too "busy" for my personal taste.

Re: 488 Replacement
hunterone:will there be any Spider !? When you look at the packaging in the back i doubt that.
Apparently some Ferrari official at the presentation hinted that the car has been developed with a Spider version in mind, pointing at the roof construction at the same time...without commenting further.
A friend is urgently seeking this information because he doesn't know what to do...to keep his F8 Tributo Spider order or to switch to a possible SF90 Spider.

Re: 488 Replacement
RC:SF90 Stradale Spider? Any idea of a possible release date?
Not sure if there will be any. Due to batteries and electric stuff there might not be the room for a folding top.
