I'm getting a Corvette vibe at the rear and a Lamborghini Huracan vibe at the front. Interesting design choices on this one.

I agree but it is Definitely ALL Ferrari!

I'm Always Looking BUT I'm Really Wanting the NEW BMW M8 Coupe w/ Competition Package! https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-bmw-m8...p-3-1835279035

You have a car you are looking at specifically?

I have loved virtually every Ferrari design but this one is questionable at best.

That thing is going to be FAST! Cool concept but the design will have to grow on me, I guess.

Looks badass as usual, perhaps and ironically a touch of the Ford GT design language to my eyes. But then again, just like phones have evolved to all look like one rectangle screen, we're getting to the pinnacle of how you can design a hyper car box that sits on four wheels.

This isn’t technically a replacement for the LaFerrari, but it does slot in above the 812 Superfast

I'm sure it's very fast, but it looks even worse than the BMW 8.

458 is the most recent high water mark for Ferrari, IMO.

While I absolutely love the 458 (biased) I think the 488 is just spectacular.

Its a ferrari so it is awesome. That is just how it goes but man after being on a roll the last decade, for my taste at at least, this is meh.

The elimination of Pinninfarina design and the creation of the in house Ferrari design team are creating looks to similar to other cars such as lambo, corvette and ford gt. They have lost their way a bit. Sure their technology is incredible, but the cars are losing their Ferrari personality

That is a good point. Pinninfarina is such a large part of ferraris heritage it is insane they have never been able to buy them out. Is it that large a company?

That's great news for the older models. Ferrari's of the 90's and early 2000's were always my favourite. That Pinninfarina touch really was something special. Something I'll certainly miss.

Yeah, not too bad.

For me, the 308GTB is their prettiest of all time.

Can't say that I like it, too over the top for me.

Yeah. Agree on the 308. And I’ll add that I think the 458 is a nice evolution from that.

But I wish I never went to that site. Damn there are some amazing cars listed.
