[hdeck]

i like it

 

[GTaudiophile]

Is it me, or are those "flame-surfaced" sides?

 

[Cooljt1]

i like that, looks so clean and refined

 

[Ryan]

Very modern and safe design - I like it

 

[EvilYoda]

the "hi-end bose system" really does it for me tho, otherwise no go

What a gorgeous car...I want pictures of the dash and console area. not to mention background sized engine bay shots

LOL, you're right, but in those pics they seem to integrate into the design a little better than in the Bimmers and it does say the 612 Scaglietti boasts characteristic scalloped sides that recall the famous 375 MM bodied by the Turin coachbuilder for Rossellini and used by Ingrid Bergman.
I always liked the 456 and overall this is a decent update, still a sexy car.

You all have to keep in mind that this car is the closest Ferrari will get to a "family" sedan.

I am exlcuding what they offer through Maseratti of course.

 

[LongCoolMother]

nothing gorgeous. but its alright.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Dang, NF24 must be off fooling around with his GF to miss a thread of this magntitude

It's not every day you see a new Ferrari.

:beer: to you, NFS4!

While I'm at it, I'll post some new spy shots of the next BMW M5:

Front with V10 engine shot.
Left side and rear.

Interior SMG shot.

And in other BMW news:

Christmas is coming early for 50 Neiman Marcus customers who managed to place their calls into the BMW Purchase Hotline to order the new 2004 BMW 645Ci that was featured in this year's Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, as it went on sale today at 12 PM, EDT.

As the clock struck noon, the 1-866-303-BMW6 phone lines were completely lit up with buyers who wanted to be sure they were among the first in the U.S. to own the just-introduced Limited Edition 645Ci. The sports car sold out in a mere six minutes and 57 seconds.

Cool...I just saw a Ferrari 512 on the freeway today with the NC vanity tag 'ARRESTME'.

edit: those "scalloped sides" had me thinking classic Corvette at first...but these are monotone...

You sure it wasn't Anand driving?

 

[spp]

yes yes... i just saw one on the street today!

 

[boyRacer]

bump for the morning crowd...

 

[Zenmervolt]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. The Italians have it all on style. If we could combine Italian aesthetics with German functionality and Japanese reliability a car would be perfect. Of course, it would also have no flaws and a lack of flaws tends is in itself an imperfection.

Looks like a ferrari's ass and a porsche's front. In summation I think it's a POS.

Links no worky,.

 

[Aharami]

i really like the looks of this car. can someone buy me one?

 

[NFS4]

Looks to fuggin' plain for a Ferrari. Also reminds me of a '57 Vette with those coves.

 

[Turkish]

i know you guys will flame me for it but i dont like it... not that i don't like the design, i don't like the fact that all ferraris look too similar to each other...

 

[Demon-Xanth]

It looks like a cross between a Porche and a 350Z
