i didn‘t have seen any activ aero elements today at the presentation.

i guess it will be faster than LaF. as it was nearly each time the case at the V8 SpecialSeries.
but just at Fiorano.

Just like Senna beats P1... this has to be the marketing message, just like "458 Speciale beats Enzo around Fiorano... blah blah blah"... then Pista beats LaF.

They're going to make it true, even if it isn't true. #becausemarketing

Looks great. Funny, I used to see 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scud being used on the track once in a while. Have never seen a 458 Speciale on the track. Doubt I will ever see one of these either. Same applies to GT2RS. Nice cars but they sit in garages getting rubbed with diapers and occasionally make the trip for a cars & coffee. Not sure I really see the point but to each their own.

That I agree with!

I must be getting old these turbo's are tough to swallow.

Rumor is another 488 coming right behind it for the special customers road legal more track oriented.

Ferrari will build 3000 plus for two years guessing 350k base price - 1 in 100 may see the track rain or use of 1000 miles a year ... not sold on the fact these will hold a special place and drop like the 430 Scud 100k back of msrp that are now rising the extra hp doesn't justify the want.

Brownan wish I saw your post before mirroring.

to think the Pista will not be more enjoyable as a 720s, GT2RS or 488+50k cash. is an error.

F delivers. always. with every Special/Limit etc. car.

Beautiful car. Not a fan of the fender gap but that would just be an excuse to lower it.

Its gorgeous! And did you hear that?? That is the sound of the 720 depreciating about 75k when all the rich 720 owners dump theirs to get in line to get one of these.

IMO I like the looks more than the speciale, looks really good. Curious to hear the sound of the engine. The name is cool too

there is another one coming....friend of mine got to see this yesterday and was briefed on what his LE car will entail....but this is someone buying cars that are 2MM plus, so he is in very good graces across all manufactures.

I too agree with you, not sure this will hold its value....too many new turbo cars being pumped out, nothing unique unless they all go kers or hybrid from here. Although the factory did say, anything introduced from 2019 would be hybrid......

Looks like an amazing car and should be a competitor against GT2RS (Still will own 1st), 750LT(Own 2nd) but until released and tracked who knows. I would love one but I must first have a 458 Speciale first before owning a turboRARI...
