Looks pretty awesome to me.

I'd like one. Didn't like the 599. Liked the 550/575.

Comparing it to a 250 GTO is a little much IMO.

Ferrari has upped their game considerably lately. This is excellent.

I'll let you in on a little secret...the F12 will depreciate too

In fact some people are gonna eat $300K on these puppies over the next 5-10 years...

obviously, its a nice car, as it should be at what will be around $500k.

my question is this - why do customers buy the 2 seat v12 ferraris? if you like a sports/exotic car then you need mid engine 458. if you need more practicality, size, or just want a v12 then you need the 4 seat awd ff. why choose the 550, 575, 599, f12 which is too big to be sports car and too small to be practical?

this model line always sees much more depreciation than the mid engine models so someone must agree with me.

More GT cars are sold than sportscars. The big V-12 2-seaters are perfect for that intended niche.
The depreciation is worse on the 4-seater, and it always has been.

I don't get the styling of this car. There's nothing about it that reminds me of the 250 GTO,... NOTHING.
