Nice looking car, but it does look like a bigger 458 (to my eyes anyway) - the same way the R8 looks like a bigger TT.......

That said, I'll still be putting my lottery numbers on (the only way I'll afford one!)

Looks like Ferrari have got it down when it comes to supercar / hypercars. The last 3 they have done perform well, and have held their value or appreciated significantly (as long as the owners didn't drive them).

Only McLaren have done as well with the F1.

I don't like it at all.

Love the idea of the big V12 but the styling looks derivative. Like a school project.

Very fat, unresolved styling around the rear wheels too. Looks like it has big hips.

Agree 100%. Looking at both the P1 and F70 in this months EVO, the P1 is streets ahead in the looks department. In my opinion of course smile

Pagani too.

Have to say I prefer the McLaren too. Although the nose drops down too much on it to be amazing. Not that I will ever have the choice to get one!

First you have to currently own at least five recent Ferrari’s; preferably the halo models and be personally known by Luca di Montezemolo who will have you on speed dial. But that is not enough. You also have to be what is called a "Ferrari brand ambassador"

If you meat the above you get invited to view the LF before its public debut with a couple of other potential owners. A quick tour of the factory then lunch with Luca. After a few bottles of his best red Luca will dig out his monogrammed pen and a contract which he will invite you to sign.

The word is that all owners will have to sign an agreement that if they decide to sell the car in the first two years of ownership they have to sell it back to the factory, that is so they can control the market and prevent speculators getting hold of the car

So in summary, if you’re not on the list you won’t be getting in

EVO seem to be referring to it as the Ferrari LF. Big improvement!

This is all a load of nonsense put out by Ferrari

Reality is they give the cars to whoever they think the company will make the most money out of - its just a business

Problem for Ferrari is that as usual half the cars will come straight onto the market for sale (some of the Euro dealers are already offering cars) and a lot of their customers are going to get seriously pissed off with the company and wont buy anymore of their standard cars.

If I was McLaren / Lamborghini / Pagani I would be overjoyed about what Ferrari have done with car because they now been handed access to a lot of very disgruntled previously loyal Ferrari drivers who are less than impressed with they way they have been treated

+1

I'm not intending to buy any more new cars after the broken promises made to me over the F70

If they have a second tranche of sales in a couple of months after (say) only half of the first 700 invitees committed would either of you be tempted ?

I'd have no idea albeit Evo Mag suggest you need to have five Fezza's already in your garage to be in with a shout eek apparently prospective purchasers were invited out to have a look around and asked whether they wanted one over an intimate lunch ...

TX.

Edit - oops, poo poo'd by a few people above redface

When politics gets in the way of pleasure it's time to move on.
