Just a personal opinion meant to illustrate that opinions differ.

I generally agree on retro styling, but for me P 4/5 embodied everything that is right about it.

Ferrari's latest offerings are, IMHO, playing it safe. The Enzo was the last car that broke out of the box and made you love or hate it.

and that is of course fine with me. P4/5 is by no means an ugly car or anything. In fact, it is a beautiful car, yet I would be dissapointed when Ferrari would have gone this way for themselves. Ferrari doesn't need to go retro. A few styling details that echo a rich past of beautiful designs are, however, forgiven.

I think Ferrari have done a great job in creating a very versatile spectrum of cars. The 458 is the moneymaker and it has an agressive style that is just conservative enough in overall shape to appeal to a broad range of wealthy people. The FF is totally different. A completely new concept for Ferrari but executed beautifully. Indeed a love it or hate it car in terms of designs, but it delivers in terms of handling, performance and, dare I say it, practicallity. The F12berlinetta is again something else. Perhaps a somewhat known silhouette, but the detailling and the way the styling is used for aerodynamic efficieny is downright fascinating. Ferrari is again pushing the envelop in this respect.

Ferrari have set the bar very high for the Enzo predecessor. I hope Ferrari goes looking for the extreme in places where no one has ever tought to look. Not like Lamborghini who fail to deliver any surprises in terms of design for quite a while now.

The FF was far from playing it safe. One of the more polarizing cars in resent memory.

Absolutely, love it or hate, the FF is the topic of MANY Ferrari conversations.

I definitely don't resent the FF, it's one of my favorites.

I Think the ff is fantastic the 612 fell well short for me till the FF came I would have taken an 456gt any day over the 612 but it all comes down to personal taste

Disagree. It's out of the box for Ferrari, but it's not going to elicit the same response as the Enzo ten years from now.

You simply don't miss the Enzo profile when it's driving down the road. It makes you look and say "what...?"

Don't get me wrong, I like the FF and applaud the fact that they took a chance (because it worked) but it was moving in a different direction than what we expect. More Scion, less Testarossa.. if that makes sense.

therryzsx · #**433** 06-03-2012, 08:17 AM

so which Ascarii do you prefer?

I like them both a lot. You would expect to see a window looking into the 600+hp na v8 moving a car lighter than the 458 cs. I would be ok if this description is the next gen 458 although many people would detest the design similarities with mac as others have notes and a hint of noble. Neither look like ferrari's next supercar with a v12 midships, I hope. They look like $350-400K, not $1m+.
