They can do no wrong in my book.

But I do wonder about the constant increases in speed and decreases in weight. Pretty soon these cars will be undrivable.

Dang tho, it sure is a pretty car.

It weighs nearly 3k. It would have to lose a lot more to be undrivable

And even then, it has ABS/TC/ASC, lots there to prevent one from running out of talent. Not like 99% of its owners are going to rag it out anyhow.... except down the highway in a straight line.

Yes, every “next one” gets faster!
It’s hard to “open it up” / “drive it like it should be” on most roads ....at least in my neck of the woods. Taking it to the track is about your only option, unless you have a windy or long stretch of road in the middle of the night:)

np2016 · 1 March 2019, 01:49 AM

Damn that's one beautiful car now I just need to win the powerball.

dkg1616 · 1 March 2019, 02:02 AM

Oh this is niiiiice

GB-man · 1 March 2019, 02:03 AM

Looks like a corvette lol

I still love it, back end is smokin.

Blansky · 1 March 2019, 02:04 AM

Sweet.

Jack it up, put bigger tires on it and......

Whoops, wrong thread.

Raza_actual · 1 March 2019, 02:06 AM

I’ve struggled to keep interest in Ferraris since they dumped manual transmissions and focused on speed at all costs. Too much tech for me. Give me an old Daytona any day.

Though this looks pretty good, I’d still be looking at Porsche or Aston for high performance car first.

bayerische · 1 March 2019, 02:12 AM

Looks like a McLaren...

RobearH · 1 March 2019, 02:13 AM

Looks like a 488.

enjoythemusic · 1 March 2019, 02:16 AM

Under 3000 lbs, about darn time! Add lightness!

But yeah all the new Ferrari cars are Xbox on wheels. Give me an F40, the last of Ferrari's true driver's car imho. Then again many Ferrari buyers need Xbox, because driving talent seems to be optional for many buyers :(

77T · 1 March 2019, 03:06 AM

A mechanical door lock?

I know space is an issue, but a super + turbo combo would eliminate turbo lag much better than the software & valves I think.

RW16610 · 1 March 2019, 03:19 AM

Very well designed as expected! That's going to be a blast to drive.

strettyend · 1 March 2019, 03:20 AM

Good lord

MP5 · 1 March 2019, 03:21 AM

I always wondered why Ferrari played the bleeding edge of the numbers game then when i was in the racing industry i saw why. Because there was Porsche and Lamborghini that made little or no effort in terms of beautiful design that would compromise racing things like the size of racing tires you could use or add on aero. Throw in the Porsche and lambo racing reliability ( i know Porsche for some reason-vw- has super flubbed the gt cars mounting points) but historically they are true track tools Ferraris look and sound good. It's hard to build that race reliability but easy to spec race. It's what most of their clients want. I'm kinda glad it's that way. It's a super rich guy/gal toy not a track tool.

CoveWatch · 1 March 2019, 03:36 AM

Beautiful!

Tatsnguns · 1 March 2019, 04:07 AM

So this one is promising to sit even better in the garage until needed service then the 488, oh and comes with a free Starbucks gift card with full retail plus plus plus payment.

Fast cars are wasted on the likes of me I like em square, in low 4 wheel drive and ideally bumpy & leaving oil leaks everywhere I drag around.

GSDLover · 1 March 2019, 05:05 AM

Crap. My 458 now looks dated.
The next big purchase will not be a watch :(

Tri-Tip · 1 March 2019, 05:23 AM

Front is beautiful, I don't care for the back end, looks whimpy to me.

not sure how i feel about the back...think the 458 and 488 were 2 of the nicest rear designs in recent times

ian.thomas · 1 March 2019, 08:35 AM

My good friend has a Pista and it's pretty bad ass. I can't wait to see what the 'special addition' of F8 will be.

1st amg · 1 March 2019, 08:40 AM

This looks like a nice evolution of the 488. I like the front and side view, not sure about the ass just yet. I need to see more pics for judgement. I like the interior as well, looks a little more modern....I think. I need to hear this car, the 488 I test drove a couple of years ago left me a little dissapointed in the sound and excitement department. Exciting never the less.

458 looking dated.....no way! It’ll be a long time, if ever, that the 458 looks dated. I’m biased though. I also think the 360 still looks beautiful!

Keadog · 1 March 2019, 10:26 AM

No manual. Thankfully. I do want to retire some day...
