Ferrari F12
 
My favorite Ferrari for a while now has been the 599 GTO...It just got replaced.

:drool:

I can't wait to see one on the road, I've been a big fan of the 599 and I'm sure I will like this too.

Wow, nice car. This is my new favorite sportscar commercial, although I'll have to do more research and see how it plays out in the real world to decide if it's my new favorite sportscar :).

My favorite sportscar commercial before this was the Ford GT one from the Superbowl several years ago: "The One" Ford GT commercial - YouTube

Unique_Z 03-07-2012 01:48 PM

Another horse added to my wish list. Lol

HKYStormFront 03-07-2012 01:53 PM

can't wait to see one of these... i'm sure my porsche client will be getting one (he gets pretty much all of the new/great ferrari's). hope it's released soon :stirthepot:

:bowrofl: seriously... i think it's just awesome we're getting another ferrari v12. just like the aventador. by rights, we shouldn't be getting any more 12 cylinder models, they should be shrinking to TT V8's to meet CAFE and emissions standards. still, no complaints. flogging a 599 GTO for a few minutes was one of the great moments of my life, what a sound!! :driving:

m4a1mustang 03-07-2012 02:17 PM

Love the F12. Front engine v12... :yum:

The 550/575 is still my favorite of the modern Ferraris. And hopefully one that I will add to the collection in the future.

Yeah, I LOVE the 550!!!!


Just finished watching the F12 vid, wow :yum:

HKYStormFront 03-07-2012 02:28 PM

i drove that guy's 550 as well briefly... ferrari v12 w/ a 3 pedal manual was pure secks too. it didn't make the same amazing noise but feeling the power go through the (amazingly precise) shifter was an experience all to itself.

man, if this is the last production V12 Ferrari makes it will be a very hot collectors item...if I could afford one I'd drive the SH*T out of it though

The sounds of a Ferrari is EXACTLY like secks. Maybe better for a guy my age. :tup:

Thechidz 03-07-2012 06:18 PM

OMG the sound of that engine is orgasmic

dAvenue 03-07-2012 06:58 PM

i did speak to my client last weekend and asked if he had seen this car yet. "oh yea! already put my order in!" so... look for a photoshoot as soon as he gets it in :tup: hopefully he'll let me take this one for a spin too :stirthepot:

he also said ferrari is working on a new super car as a true Enzo (which he had one of) successor. apparently he's on that list as well.

So sick looking.

Sorry
 
Well I know I'm not supposed to say anything if it isn't nice, but I have to buck the trend here on this one. This may be the most amazing performing car, the most amazing performing Ferrari ever. It's probably one of the best cars ever built. But......

....from a purely looks stand point, I hate it. Really hate it. It's a huge flop. It's not just ugly to me, it's pointless and just goofy looking. The lines just don't make any sense together, and it comes out looking all squishy looking. I really don't like it at all. I would trade it in for a Lambo in a second, or the other one.....

....now to end on a positive, the 458 Italia is the best looking car I've EVER seen. And that doesn't come lightly from a long time Lamborghini fanatic like myself. There has never been a Ferrari that looked better to me than the competing Lambo, not by a long shot. But the Italia changed all that. The Italia is every best Ferrari characteristic all in one car, with none of the bad. It's every positive adjective you can use describing a car, and there is no other car I've ever seen that can say that. I could go on and on about the 458 Italia, something I never thought I'd ever say about a Ferrari.

458 Italia = Everything

Sibze 03-21-2012 11:25 AM

It's made by science again. Even the designers for the 458 said the got lucky when they made it. Ferrari is going away from first making the car look good and then trying to make it aerodynamic etc.

I remember Top Gear saying, the designers know they got lucky, it was chance that the science made the 458 look so good.

As for the lines, the lines are there for air slow. Would I say its the nicest looking car? No. Would I say it's ugly? No. Would I shy away from someone giving me one? NO!

I've got to say... Doesn't look to ugly to me:

TerribleONE 03-21-2012 11:31 AM

Id take one!!

HKYStormFront 03-21-2012 12:13 PM

i wouldn't kick her out of bed...........













... oh wait, wrong thread

KingZee 03-21-2012 04:34 PM

call me crazy but I actually prefer the F12 look over the 458...I love the muscular look the F12 has over the 458. From certain angles the 458 is beautiful but I sometimes see it at certain angles and it's "ehh". Probably just me though. I'd take an F12 over a 458 any day if it were just for that V12 that we won't see in production cars going forward.

Sibze 04-20-2012 01:42 PM

Here are some pics from a car show. The backend is a little :ugh2:

I agree with you completely! Absolutely love the look of the 458, but hate the look of the F12. I would take an Aventador over the F12 anyday.

m4a1mustang 04-20-2012 02:12 PM

Seems like all the young whippersnappers hate the old FR layout. I love the F12. Reminds me of the 550/575 on steroids.

The only thing I don't like about the F12 is the looks. I don't mind the FR layout or the awesome V12. To be fair though, I'd probably take the Aventador over any other car :roflpuke2:
