    Not anymore, So annoying! I tried to find it again, I´ve seen it before, also not on the internet. I still hate the fact that I wasnt able to make a side profile picture because it was hidden behind the Big entrance building :mad:

    Will the V6 be an entry model, with a (turbo) V8 still in the line up? Or will the F8 essentially the last of the line? The Tributo line kinda gives hints...unfortunately.

    The idea is that they bifurcated their rear-midengined exotic line into:
    a) Lower priced V6 TT hybrid (FChat-labeled “little brother”)
    b) Higher priced V8 TT hybrid SF90

    Sounds much better than I thought she would and I like the more compact feel. Fingers crossed for a Dino/250 LM look. I really don't want to see a Jnr SF-90 look.

    I couldn’t hear any engine noise above the sound of the wind and traffic. Still plenty to debate about regarding the new generation of electrified cars, but whether they will sound superior, or inferior, to the last generation of pure ICE cars is no longer in question. If sound is important to you (it’s crucial to me), then get’em while you can...

    Agree, it’s a head scratcher. A couple of us have posted that same observation.

    Would be a lot of trouble to make a “square” glass to fool people. Also it’s been mentioned that there is a lot of effort to disguise the roof and A-pillar.

    My assumption is the “square” glass is for the spider version that will have the same treatment of roof as you mentioned. Also like the 812 C Aperta.

    Why the car in your pictures show a square glass with arched roof, I can’t explain. Obviously with a roof it’s not a spider and at the same time seeing the arched roof rubber door seal under the door window (with window up) will look pretty bad, as we see below. I can’t believe that this is what they will go into production with.

    I watched the video too after reading that post hoping to hear some engine sound and.....:.nothing.

    is this how far the expectation and standard for Ferrari has fallen?

    You’re not the first to have that opinion . As I said, very much looking forward to LB! June 24 can’t get here fast enough.

    I should think
    a) A modestly higher priced V6 TT hybrid (LB) than the F8 it replaces
    b) A much higher priced V8 TT hybrid (SF90) in a new market segment for them
    otherwise they will be leaving a lot of money on the table.

    People seem to confuse the lack of sound as a consequence of hybridization and forget the fact that ever stricter noise regulations are the main reason. For the the V6 LB I have to say at least I can hear the engine, as opposed to the SF90.

    Could this be the yellow car?

    Agreed, I just added the context that it would be more expensive than the F8 it replaces – unless that was earlier in the thread and I missed it.

    Ha! No kidding, I saw the Wienermobile on the highway years ago, and it was just as smile-inducing as seeing an exotic car! My whole family was shouting and pointing! Iconic! Too funny.

    My thoughts exactly. Having high hopes for this and other V6 models in the future.
