If that ain't a wolf in sheep's clothing I don't know what is.....Lambos are too ostentatious.

A Ferrari is subtle?

Great looking car, While the car does have a significant amount of power I agree it should still be rather tame in comparison thanks to the massive tires they put on it, suspension, and weight. The 599 seemed super tame to me, and with the Novitec SC kit it was just right ( in comparison to 430 and lighter models I had driven), this should be on par with that and the styling makes it a great car!

The very front corners on the front bumper look too "Star-Fighter". But other than that I like it.

I think the headlight design is atrocious but the entire package sounds wonderful

It will help to set the 599 GTO prices on the realistic level where they should be.

The car is stupid good looking, similar lines to one of my favorites.

It takes a lot to upset me and, frankly, I'm just about impossible to offend but...to compare the aesthetics of F12 to the 250 GTO is simply not acceptable ;-)

Holy crap, I'm old. When did an F40 become an old Ferrari?

Nice proportions, ugly detail. 599 is much better.

Ferrari, subtle? Nope, not at all. But this; their most powerful model; is undeniably understated and compared to a Lambo, a whole lot less cheesy. Less obnoxious than my GT3 probably.

I bet it looks fantastic in person. The performance and sound must be absolutely breathtaking. Well done, Ferrari.
