    i'm still lovin' it myself.
    Just that door detail is still too busy. And the wheels... ugh... challenge option please!
    But as a whole. very well done.
    The centre console is very unique.
    Cant wait to see a video of the roof mechanism.

    thx for posting... where did you find them?.. the site is still kind of uncooperative to say the least....

    Look at the profile pic where the roof is halfway up/down. That how it looks nice, without that huge/fat trunk in place.

    I think this car is absolutely gorgeous-- except for the tail. Maybe they have a CF option to improve the rear looks.

    And, those wheels have to GO!

    Call me crazy but I think that side turn signal makes it look a bit cheap

    Interior looks nice though, same with the engine :)

    ...and the car looks way too HAPPY from the front

    Nice oppurtunity for FABSPEED OR RICAMBI to do a tailpipe section for these. Tubi and Capristo and others will 5k for and exhaust the car wont need. Why not a tail section with valves for sound change for 2k.....

    Ferrari is trying way to hard with this design. The KISS principle obviously eluded them. It looks like it was designed by a committee and everyone got their way...the rear end is especially overdone. Just because they can hang it on the consumer for all they can pump out doesn't mean it was done well or even correctly. It looks CHEAP...

    I don't like the rear at all. The chunky reverse tails, just looks odd IMO.

    Hopefully it will look better in person vs. the pictures. Looks really busy to me.

    So does it not have a trunk?

    Looks like they finally caught up to the 57 Ford Skyliner.

    Lots of electronics on these things, I'd hate to be trying to keep one running 25 years from now.

    It does look a lot better closed, that shape hides the hip line.

    I don't like it too much. But I will reserve judgment until I see one in person.
