What I'm impressed by is how well they pulled off the stacked tail lights layout. Way better than Lexus did on the IS-F.

Oh god I just thought about what the Lexus people on other boards are going to be saying, that Ferrari copied Lexus.

Oh yeah, expect that...

The dudes over at Autolies will go nuts over it.

There is no doubt what the target market is, hence the name. Though it could have been named after any number of countries in the middle east too. This is Ferrari's SL it seems. This car is going to do some serious business and I predict will become their best seller as the F430 ages. The F430 will no doubt get a facelift to keep the order books full. Why are they calling this a 2+2 when only a hobbit could sit back there?

That is exactly the group I'm thinking about.

Love it!

The car only has 454 hp? I was expecting more. I am wondering, what will Ferrari do with their current F1 automated manual now that they have the new 7 speed twin clutch? Can this new gearbox achieve the shift time of 60 millisec in the current F430 Scuderia. or is the new gearbox even faster than that when optomised for sports driving.

Italians make suits that are too small too

I'm still recovering from the shock that Ferrari finally has a new model that looks quite radical.

The first time I saw this car, I thought it's a small car to compete against the Vantage, something priced below the 430... But no, apparently, this is a huge GT. Any idea how this car will be priced though? The dual-clutch and this whole model, in fact, is totally unexpected to me. Either that or I've been away from the car world for too long...
