The Official Ferrari 812 SUPERFAST pictures thread

Initial reaction: questionable.

Front certainly shows a mix of Corvette and Viper, rear has a Japanese look, and there's a lot of incongruous detail. That being said, the V12 Berlinettas have typically drawn some analogous lines to other marques.

I suspect it will be a very cool sports car, and it definitely has a unique and exotic look. Does it embody Ferrari passion? Methinks not. Will it be the ultimate GT? Most likely. Does that make it desirable? Not sure.

I do see two potential options re: visual cues - (1) the rear end being framed the way it is could present potential to shade the rear via bicolore specification and (2) I wonder if the front end would benefit with a 550/575 style front grill rather than the GTO/TDF type mesh?

Boxy rear, alienlooking/tesla front.

Just aweful. It now becoming apparent the lack of pininfarina. Luca Di Montezemolo had the aristocratic touch that sweater don't.

 

Waiting to go to Geneva to see how it looks like in reality

 

Well I like my F12B mo better. The area's I like better on the superfast ?
HP, 4 wheel steering, more aggressive rear spoiler and rear diffuser. That is it.

The front mesh grill is ugly as are the headlights.

 

agreed. You know he's a margin maximizer first...

 

Agreed, and throw in a 599 too for good measure.

 

Ferrari should have to start paying royalties to Willy Konig for every 812 they sell...

 

When that happens...the Berlinetta's superiority in the looks department will be even more apparent.
I just went out to the garage to give my '17 F12B a huge thumbs up !

 

In reality it looks great, especially in the matte grey. I had concerns about the rear of the red car but if the splitter is in a contrasting colour thought it looks very good. The proportions really work in the flesh and personally, to me, the comparisons with corvette, Lexus and viper are way off. I much prefer the new interior - but like everything else it's personal taste. So many people bagged the TDF from the launch pictures but to me in the flesh it's a stunner - I think this is the same.

 

Yes, using the original F12 CGI images if possible, so we get it close to "apples to apples." Would be great if someone could package it.

 

Love it, but still like the TDF better. By the way is this a replacement to the F12?

 

I like it - especially the wheels. Nice to see something else. But quite sure the wheel arch gap will be at least twice what it is in the pics

Will be nice to see it in the flesh.

 

Hey, at least they got rid of that lame F1 rear light thing.

 

Looks very good. A lot of Jaguar F-type and Corvette C6 look in this one, but a lot more complicated.

 

I´ve done it quickly in Photoshop: Much better in grey...

I love that light!

 

I can't wait to see real photos of the car in colors other than red. This looks fantastic!

 

After additional inspection ...I came to a conclusion : where are you Pininfarina ??? Where are you Luca ???

 

YEEESSSSS !!!!

Thanks

It's a tweaked F12. Those of you who were looking for a completely new design should know better. The car was always going to be an evolution - as was the TR/512TR, 348/355, 360/430, 458/488, Cali-CaliT, FF/GTC4, etc. If you're looking for a clean sheet design, wait for the next model.

As far as the car goes - not a fan of the wheels but it does look more aggressive which I like - one thing that can't be argued is that the performance, comfort, and features will easily exceed that of the F12.

 

thanks that helps a lot.

still prefer the F12 though...

 

in side-by side...F12 looks better IMO..cleaner, more elegant, beautiful GT sportscar..not trying to overdo it....740hp is enough...
