I wasn't a big fan of the F12 design but like it better than the 812. I own a 599 HGTE, which I bought new and still think it looks amazing. Ferrari should have let their design team compete with Pininfarina on the 812.

Agreed, 812 looks very nice however IMO one of the best looking Ferrari's to come out in a very long time is the J50. That car is just incredible looking... reminds me of the F50. I understand they are only making 10 of them at over 2.5M. Best looking Ferrari ever IMO.

Not that I can afford one, but the styling of this and the F12 just don't do it for me. But it could grow on me!

The sound of that NA V-12 at 8,900 rpm echoing off the walls of Golden Gate Canyon would distract you from the styling

Yes it would, Grant! And so would the sirens coming up behind me!

Not sure if I am allowed to comment since I can't afford either, but I like the FF and F12 better than both the GTC4 and 812.

Haven't seen either of the latter in person but still...

Aventador S - 750hp believe is the closest.

812 is slimmer than 599 - what's amazing the lightened more hp version having 820 - 840hp.

Looks are always subjective prefer FF Pininafarina vs Lusso same goes for the 812 vs F12.

Went with the 488 GTO - there is a lot to be said for owning a V12.
