It must be the one of those 2+2 GT's where the latter "2" refers to the standing platform behind the front seats. Looks OK to me at this point. The current Ferrari design language mixed with new Alfa/Fiat styling cues (8C, Mi.To, 500). |

 It has been said that Ferrari are planning on manufacturing 6000-8000 of these per year making this car their main source of in come. Like you said yourself this is Ferrari's answer to the SL63 an sport luxury roadster. As for the name it comes from the legendary 250 California GT. The sames goes for some of the design elements like the chromed frame around the grill mesh. Nice surprise since it was a while since we saw chrome details on a Ferrari.  | |

 The only problem are the slanting lights. They tend to 'pull' the face of the car forward, making it look thinner, taller and smaller. Like the Maserati Spyder:  That was the biggest problem for the F430 over the 360 Modena. The air intakes tapered into the center of the car, making the front look pinched and awkward (in my humble opinion, of course.) |

I think the car looks pretty good, better then the LA-F... But the stacked pipes are a lame move by Ferrari considering the recent release of the IS-F and the fact that it just looks ugly on any car (IMHO of course). |

I'm very disappointed with the car. the front looks so weak and tapered and the rear is a mess with Lexus shaped pipes,F430 over this anyday. |
