    I like the feel of the front proportion. Clear the rear has some dynamic shaping so its totally hidden

    The author of the video said they 95% sure it was v6 tt Hybrid. The engine sound in the video, sounds like a v6 to me

    Would make sense since the forum members in the know have previously stated that the car will be introduced some time this summer and as early as June.

    Thanks! Hopefully just a couple of weeks and we’ll know much more about LB.

    I really hope that its a Dino. Thats the name that belongs on Ferrari's V6 road cars. I would love to see those gorgeous Dino lines reborn

    Nobody is gonna pay 300k for a Dino branded car. But If they choose to compete with 911 in pricing and performance then Dino would have success - IMO

    Who will be the first to buy a used one out of warranty? After sorting out three old Ferraris, not me. :D

    Small audience that knows what a “Dino” is. There are tens of thousands of potential buyers in China, MENA, and even USA that just want the latest and have serious cash to burn.

    I don’t understand the point of making LB a sub brand. They can just call it a Dino if they want. Not saying they should, just that using the Dino moniker can simply be a model name - like Lusso or California...

    It does amuse me that so many despise the car having never seen it...

    :/

    So Ferrari lineup is going to be
    SUV—-replacing lusso
    Laf- or replacement
    SF90
    812
    F8-LB ...but is LB replacing f8 for sure or is it a new category?
    Roma
    Portofino

    Anything else?

    Down the line there should be an Icona, I don’t see the Portofino lasting long as the interior/mechanics are dated relative to the Roma (so perhaps a Roma spider at some point?). Same with the 812, a replacement should be in order after the Competizoine/A production. Maybe a homologation special for the LMH car even though it isn’t required (though I doubt Ferrari will be leaving money on the table if they think they can sell them).

    LB is replacing F8 for sure.
    F8 was just an improved 488GTB because the new V6 wasn’t ready.
    The 812 replacement is the big question mark for me.
    Front or rear V12 engined car?

    My local dealer is already taking deposits on the “F8 replacement” as he called it. This includes both the coupe and spider. I guess this confirms the June reveal.

    From existing customer I presume or just like the f8 anyone can?

    I didn’t ask but I would assume they will let anyone order the car. Seems like the long wait for a regular production F car are a thing of the past.
