Kind of shocked here...

Maybe it's too early in the morning, but I don't think I've ever heard of power output rated in "CV" terms. Is this some new power rating system to further confuse the buying public? But 569hp out of a 4.5 NA V8 is just WOW! Your move Porsche/Lamborghini... Maybe we'll see those 3 tailpipes re-appear on a V8 TT Enzo replacement in the future along with a massive power increase just like this model. Man - way to go Ferrari!

I absolutely love the rear 3/4 view and rear. But why such huge mirrors, headlights that are fit to illuminate an IMAX screen and the front overhang kind of kills it for me too...and I've never liked Ferrari 5-spoke rims but that's just me.

Overall though, I definitely like it so far. Maybe it'll grow on me as time goes on, but kick-ass none the less.:HappyDance:

Love it! Side view is as good as I've seen. I could definitely see this car in my future if those specs are correct.

Hmmmmm.....

I think it looks great. I can't wait to see it in person. One thing keeps me from loving it, that's a 6 speed. Are they seriously not going to offer a 6????

I sort of like it!

hm did ferrari mess up and leak their own info? web site is "pit stop in progress" heh

side note all info on it will be released in 36 days if the site was correct before. Only the features section on the 458 was opened

Love it!

Love the profile/side shot....the lines flow very nicely. Front looks aggressive...and the performance numbers are fantastic.

Looks like a homerun to me :)
