New Ferrari family - your thoughts?
 
As we all know F12 Berlinetta is officially revealed, and there was some discussions.
So guys here is one simple comparison between current Ferrari models that on front end have few things in common.
What are your thoughts?

Design language is not always carried through a brand strictly for aesthetic purposes. While it is imperative that cars’ visual appeal resonates with their perspective owners, it often is a matter of applying the firms latest R&D to each model being produced. Location of intake points, vents, and wings are all products of the last few years of wind tunnel, track, and fluid dynamic testing. What appeals to some will never appeal to all. I like where the design efforts have led Ferrari as of late. They are dealing quite well w/ ever increasing safety regulations and emissions demands while further developing more capable and even more powerful vehicles. Like it or hate it, you have to respect the development these automobiles have been through. Though if you do truly hate it, consider it an initial building block from which many improvements can and will be made.

F12 takes the cake for me.

I think people are not realizing that automotive design today is completely different then what it was in the past. Government regulations have pretty much forced designers to work around them. It is amazing that human creativity is able to still get around these artificial barriers and produce good looking cars. Those lights are from stupid envrionment LED BS introduced in the eurozone, ride height sitting too high and akward bumpers are from US saftey regulations. Designers are very limited in what they can do from an asthetic point of view. Ferrari has to comply with so many costly rules that it would be economically impossible to produce 100% unique cars without double the price tags. They are already producing great products, if customers want to complain they can direct their anger at the nearest government office.
