Wow...

[WP v3.32]

Gorgeous, sadly just a bit above my budget.

1200hp, 0-200 in 5.75 s.  Geezus.  I'll take mine in green jewel. 

[WP v3.32]

The cockpit is pretty cool, driver focused layout by tossing the passenger to the side 

[OliverD]

They're gonna build 799 of these. Really reflects the growing market for seven figure hyper cars. They only built 499 LaFerraris and 399 Enzos and 349 F50s.

One more amazing spec: 900hp from a 3.0L V6

Very cool...but about as obtainable as a current grid F1 car.  Unless you have the connections and multiple Ferrari's already in your garage you will not be getting an allocation.  Not to mention how many of these will be bought and almost immediately flipped for a massive profit.  But it is something to marvel at.

Ferrari generally has schemes that prevent people from flipping its halo cars. With the LaFerrari you were contractually obligated to own it for a certain amount of time. Steve Wynn sold his before he was allowed to and it cost him his Vegas Ferrari dealership.

I'd imagine these are already sold to prospective buyers.

Still a large portion of buyers for these think of them as an investment more than a car.

Two third of them will be sold in the middle east.

That was my first thought...300HP per L! Wonder how it sounds and if the Ferrari purists will be up in arms over a V6. Amazing car either way.

Its funny, I have never been on the Ferrari site ever, let alone try their configurator. I don't know what it is, the closest to something I would say I would actually want, if I found a unknown uncle that was a sheik, was the 12cilindiri or whatever, as it reminded me of the old Daytona. Otherwise, gotta say, yes from a technical standpoint, amazing, from an esthetic point, meh.

Come on now Fobroader, I'm sure if you saw one in person your "bits would be all tingly" as you might say.

I remember seeing an F40 in Toronto years ago, that was the only time that a Ferrari touched my tralala. Well, that and the 550/575 Maranello, oooffff. Otherwise, Ferraris were always cool but never really something I would ever strive for.

[revalations]

Gotta say the 512TR (aka Testarossa) is up there as one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen in person. The newer supercar stuff just doesn't hit like those older ones did visually.

[Gurgie]

I've never been on the Ferrari site before either. Didn't realize they had so many models available right now   Obviously not in my snack bracket, so no need for me to be looking

Quite the tech in this thing, though, guessing a lot of it comes from their F1 engineering advances.

I did drive a 488 back in 2018 at the track in Vegas, though. That was a blast! Had an awesome instructor who was pushing me to go faster each lap. Fun times!

^^Nice picture! I'd like to try that 'drive a supercar' experience some day.

[Fobroader]

I was supposed to do that supercar experience thing when we were in Vegas...but I ran out of time.
