    Curious to see the interior and rhe sound of that v6.
    Do we know how high it is supposed to rev? 8k or 9k maybe (doubt).
    Isn’t LB supposed to be presented in 2 weeks ?

    Really don’t know.
    I hope for a better looking car than the artura.
    Wait and see.

    I hope it has a nicer interior than the Roma and it’s Tesla screen ...
    I really like the f8’s look...

    Same digital interior than the SF90 stradale ( sort of)
    Very technical but quickly outdated I guess.
    Bring back beautiful analog counter Ferrari !!

    since sound doesn't matter for F8, if they bring a nice and sporty car, can be a great success still with v6.

    i hope they keep the battery weight at minimum and not make the car heavy.

    Batteries power motor(s). Batteries (heavy) + motors (heavy) = heavy P-I-G (SF90) :p

    +1, same as sf90 and Roma
    +1, bring back analog

    and not only quickly outdated, but also uncomfortable, non-ergonomic, non-intuitive, dirty with fingerprints, distracting from the road, confusing, ugly.

    I try not to comment on looks, as it's a subjective matter, but not liking the amazing SF90 Stradale and liking the caricature that was the 1st gen TT is just mindboggling.


    Nope, not happening.

    Because the LB will be a new model with production likely starting May 2022 or so, I presume Ferrari will be including the new EU "intelligent speed assistance" (ISA) mandatory equipment:

    https://www.here.com/sites/g/files/odxslz166/files/2020-07/IntelligentSpeedAssistforEU-May2020.pdf

    (existing models already in production are exempted from this regulation until 2024)

    question is, will this ISA be included in all LB production or just that for EU, chances are quite good it will be included in all production regardless of destination, so, will it be annoying drivers everywhere or will Ferrari have some sort of 'off' switch...

    I think that is something to watch for...as it could severely impact "driving pleasure"

    They might as well call it the "Death of Fun switch"

    Not really. The proof of the pudding is in the eating (i.e. measured performance). Also, it is illegal in the EU to overstate, or understate, power figures beyond a certain percentage.

    The only way to accurately measure engine power is a properly calibrated bench dyno, not a rolling road.

    True enough, and I will be quick to concede that most (everyone?) knows more about dyno’s than I do. That said, would not same dyno, same dyno operator, same day give a good enough comparison between cars and the relationship each might have to the manufacturers spec? For example, Car #1 might show 100hp more than rated and Car #2 might show 100hp less than rated. Would that not give some insight as to the relative power of each? In sum, surely these types of dyno measurements offer some level of useful information right?

    Yes, they are good for comparative purposes, but not for absolute numbers.

    There seems to be remarkably little info or chatter on the LB outside of Ferrarichat...and not much new, here. Are we sure this thing is a go for a June reveal?

    And translated into reliability issues?

    765lt vs sf90 roll race is more than enough to prove that dyno numbers in that video are true...same about 720 vs 488 pista drag race...the mclaren fly away, too much for the merely weigth factor only....

    I think he stated the direct comparison in his post. Here it is again, but this time in a somewhat more consolidated format:
    • 765lt vs SF90
    • 720 vs 488 Pista
