Yes, I used that Aston Martin as an example of how the rear foglight on the Ferrari could have been better incorporated into the design

After hearing the sound and seeing more photos, I've decided I need to see it in real life to gauge whether I really like the car and its styling or not.

Looks marvelous! It reminds me of the 599, and the headlights is like the 458's.
My only gripes is the front grille bother me a bit. Appears to be like a creepy grin
And the way how the rear "wraps" beneath the car is pretty new, especially the F1 fog-light at the median. All in all, it's quite elegant. The specs gives it an even more stronger punch!
My gosh, the engine sounds so deep & aggressive! It feels like a bullet to the knee when you hear that!

Guess I am the only one who likes the rain light.
Also, I now hope it never graces GT5, they will rape that beautiful sound it makes.

They've been improving, the V12 Vantage is proper. 👍

Assuming that IS the F12 Ferrari, then wow. It does sound very angry. Sounds very much like a race car.

I think the 599 GTO looks much sexier than this, as well as the 458. Crazy power in this though.

Interesting detail I found shown on Top Gear's website.

Incredible power but U G L Y. I'd take a 458 or 599 GTO in a heartbeat over this.

No one else saw that when you first saw the rear of the car when it was first introduced? You had to have an article pointing it out...?

I'm amazed, the interior sound is so similar to the 458.
I wonder if they'll be able to do a proper equal length exhaust for this thing, e.g. as a GTO or something, if there's enough space in the engine bay, then I might appreciate it better. At the moment, the unequal length exhausts just make it sound like a 350Z, but no doubt they're contributing to that fat torque curve. It's a shame they can't keep the iconic 6-2-1 manifolds; I guess peak power is easier this way.
I also wondered how they would translate the 458's intake geometry to the V12; it seems it's grown a couple of "bulbs", one on the front of each plenum, no doubt there's a butterfly in each to control plenum volume. I guess with six cylinders per plenum, "cross-talk" between them (as in the 458 and most V6s) isn't necessary at these engine speeds, especially when you see the firing order is like two inline-threes put end-to-end for each bank, so the plenum pressure is oscillating end-to-end already.
