It looks like a mini Enzo from behind. 3 exhausts look odd, maybe it would ve looked better with a massive single exhaust outlet like the on on the Veyron & the LP640.

First, I thought no car would ever get closer to being a road version of an F1 car than F50 then I thought okay Enzo is it, later F430 was like c'mon not even Ferrari can do better and yet they did. I love all the attention to detail like I know everyone does it this days but Ferrari go even further. And all this percentage figures they give us I know they don’t mean sh!t for an average Ferrari owner, but yeah you think this is probably how they explain new stuff to Kimi and Massa and you feel like you’re part of a team, part of something special.

The front is pretty hard to swallow.

And I miss the double tail lights. I am okay with 599 and California turning to singles, but on the V8 MR Ferrari, double tail lights just seem a must for me...

I think the front of the car is fascinating. Those black devices are what Ferrari calls "small aeroelastic wings" which deform at speed to reduce drag.

That McLaren is a bit bland, for that much money most people want their super cars to really stand out, could hurt sales.

Yeah, I have to agree with you the looks is one thing that can make or break a car like this and right now 458 Italia looks a bit more sophisticated and you know it's a Ferrari, whatever they do is the trend while McLaren is not as well known so they have to do something more outrageous like a Zonda.

And the back of the Macca just doesn't look tough like a supercar should! [-X
