Hideous from every angle, IMO. Inside and out.

It's busy and overdone.

Beautiful car.

I think you are being too harsh. But I guess as with most things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it actually looks good.

I know the steering wheel looks cool, but it is just too busy with all those buttons. I just wonder how hard it would be to get use to it after using a traditional car setup.

Overall love the car. I like the subtle touches showcasing the classic GT cars (grille, hood buldge, proportions) and the F1 rear light is slightly played but cool. The rear treatment is a little too much like the 8C though.

I also LOVE the passenger telemetry display!! It engages the passenger during spirited driving and I'm kind of surprised this car is the first to have something like it. And of course above all the performance is blistering, being able to whoop every other ferrari while enjoying a conversation with a passenger in a climate controlled cabin won't get old.

Which is why I added "IMO". We are all entitled to our own opinions, regardless of how popular those opinions are. I, personally, think it's the ugliest Ferrari I've ever seen.

There are things about the FR-s I don't like and there are things about this F12 I don't like but overall these 2 cars awesome!!!
Don't be hater. If you hate the F12, You must hate the FRS and the BRZ. These cars all have a similar look, a high tech futuristic looking Front engine fastback sports car.
Don't be hating! If you are hating, go post on a Kia club site!

I have a feeling this design will grow on you more than you may want to admit. Give it a few months. There have been plenty of ugly Ferrari's over the years [i.e. 612, [new] California, 400 & 400 Superamerica, Enzo, FF] are all rather ugly and haven't gotten any better over time, however other than the big egg-crate grille, this F12berlinetta may turn into another 458 Italia, where it culturally burns-in and becomes a new icon.

IDK, I still don't like the 458 either.

Everything about it just seems a bit... off. Though I'll admit, I've never seen one in person.

Buggy51 · 03-01-2012, 03:14 AM

I like everything but the front... it looks... goofy ~_~;

I am with you on the F12 and the 458. The last really beautiful Ferrari was in my oppinion the 355.

tachi1247 · 03-08-2012, 12:31 AM

gorgeous car, but I'd rather get a 458 Italia and pocket the savings.

the steering wheel is fine but the turn signals will take some getting used to. At least Ferrari gets the paddle shifters right. Them and the gt-r are the only cars that have the paddles mounted to the column and not the wheel. Trying to find the buttons on the back of the gti's wheel is a pain while you are in the middle of a turn.
