    Thanks for that although I do not speak or read German I have to say the engine is a work of art! Shame it's hidden away from view.

    Google translate is my friend. :D
    And I completely agree. There should be no such mentioning's of "British Racing Green" on a Ferrari.

    Maranello Red is by far the best color.
    and Racing Green is terrible.

    I have to agree, I love Rosso Maranello to death, I'm not so keen on BRG either

    quite obvious that everybody seems to love, is impressed with the FF high-tech. but in most press-articles I can't find a clear statement about the design. why?

    Haven't had much luck with Google translate in the past so a bit hesitant these days, I'll give it another shot.

    Is this about a car or what?

    I've read she's OK to drive. She better be. Because that is the only thing that surpasses looks in my book.

    She's gorgeous. Just like the first time you tried a beer and asked yourself: "how could anyone drink this?"

    In time, you'll understand.

    I still ask myself that. And I suspect that a long time from now I'll still be asking the same questions about this clumsy piece of design.

    Just like how at the time the Daytona was considered a poor decision, or the Dino...

    Exactly.

    Even today the Daytona has it's design weirdnesses and quirks. But, I think there is pure beauty in those character flaws. In the beginning, not that many "got it". They get it today.

    Appreciating design depends on where in history you are standing at the time.

    Hi from Modena,,

    'Saw a test driver FF yesterday, in a magic metallic blue, with some white/red sheet plastic covering, the front fender,.

    But from this view, i'd say, most humbly, that the FF is an aboslute BEAUTY !!!,, swoopy lines, never ending curvatures, subtle 'speedy'ness, and 'quick' delight,,.. :))))),..,.,

    In the autumn, i saw the matte black mechanical driver, also in the city centre of the city, and the gloss of the paint, makes all of the difference,. Maybe a calculated 'surprice' to the ever so observant photographers, not to divulge, the TRUE beauty, of a new shape, before all is ready for the market push,,..

    Best of luck to the dealers, not to get overwhelmed, by the high-end Volvo/Escalade/F-250 :pPPP,, buyers, who are looking for a weekend cruiser, that will take them to Aspen, and the like, at all times and seasons of the year,.

    Also, at the ancient, now new reference of Ferrari Spa, the Scaglietti factory/shop, near to the Emilia Est . Motor's shop,, were some FF body shells, awaiting assembly,. Out in the open, for whatever reason, they might 'cure'/'age'/'silence'/'relieve', the metallic's, after the welding processes, in order for the laquer/paint layers, not to crack, or so,.. ??, - anybody got info on these things, ???,.,.

    Ciao,

    Sòren,.

    Modena,.

    There's a world of difference between 'shock of the new' and clumsy.
