I love how clean and organic it is. The antithesis of the sliced and straked, almost military angularity of Lamborghini.

Well, at least it looks a little better than the F430, one of my least favourite Ferraris. Overall though, it's not a big improvement over the 430. It looks awkward in it's own way. One of the major weak points of the F430 is the bland front end; it looks like the F450 will unfortunately continue this trend. It is also disappointing that it seems as though the F450 won't have upper side air intakes, a signature on many Ferrari models. At least this is not as bland as the 612.

For me, the last modern Ferrari model that actually looked stunning (as a Ferrari should) was the Enzo. The Enzo's styling was polarizing, but even now seeing one on the road commands your attention, as it looks just so radical.

IMHO, Lamborghini has a much better lineup style-wise right now than Ferrari does.

I think it looks pretty good. The overall shape of it reminds me of the old Mclaren f1 longtail.

That's an awful wheel gap for a Ferrari...

Of course it has to be red. It's Italian.


So, I wonder why I have a black Ducati???

Bet Honda is wishing it had released that NSX now, huh!? And what's with the Yokohama AVS Wheels? Did Chris Bangel defect to Ferrari?

It's like the new 5-Series, you buy it because it's a new model, but not sure it's a love affair.

Hey, it's a Ferrari after all. I still want one!

Wow, I did not even notice the wheel gap at first, but it is pretty big. To think, people were complaining about the wheel gap on the LF-A prototypes .



Certainly a sizable gap for a Ferrari. This would be acceptable for other brands, but certainly not Ferrari.
