    Very nice pix - thanks for posting.

    I find the car has a very 70's feel to it with the high-tail fastback.

    Also have to say that there are way to many joints between panels (the rear spoiler top and bottom, the panel next to the headlight, for example) and again has the feel of a malaise-era American factory special with tacked-on fender flares and spoilers.

    Very noticeable paint mismatch between front fender and driver's door. Could this car be a pre-production car we saw testing in camo and cleaned up for display?

    From that angle the 812 looks better than the GTC4Lusso. 1st World problems on which one to choose from. :D

    Could very well have been test cars cleaned up for the show.

    There were some leaked photos of a yellow car at the factory with black wheels.

    Perhaps that was another car destined for the show but somehow didn't make the final cut?

    Haven't seen any more of that yellow 812.

    I would also add when the F12 came to the US, my dealer had a pre production one which they let me have a look at while in their service bay and I thought there were a few small quality gaffes that must be from it being a demo. I went back and looked at my pictures and I noticed the transmission bridge had the buttons facing straight back, not angled toward the driver as on the production F12. My interpretation of this is its likely the production cars will feature some little improvements.

    I agree with you about the 70s feel and its not something I am particularly warming up to, but I still want to see it in person before making a real judgement.

    more of the grey, though the silver wheels are my favourite part of the design and save the car with that paint from being a total washout...

    Thats big plasic piece looks so cheap back there. Ferrari is basically forcing you to option up to carbon to get rid of the 1980's Fiat/Lancia looking part.

    So you can have it however you like: shiny paint, flat plastic, flat CF, shiny CF; or matte paint, flat plastic, flat CF, shiny CF.

    I'm still not convinced, but when I become convinced I would do shiny paint and I'd like to say the standard grey (like on the F12b, if available) lower rocker parts. Otherwise probably shiny CF on the outside.
