Does indeed look very nice - does it come in Med Blu?? Lol

A face lifted Cali T by the looks of things.

Apparently it's going to dominate its segment....Very cock sure of themselves. Looks nice but certainly not game changing.

Front on view it looks very happy with itself!

Agree Benny - hardly changed.
In my terminology - it would be a 'mini' facelift at most. More like some lip fillers to be honest. Hardly a paradigm shift....

Brand new chassis and much lighter and stiffer than the California (according to Ferrari anyway!)

It will dominate the segment - because its the only one in that segment surely?
No other compact 2+2s with a 0-60 of 3.5 I know of? Even if it has got a fat bum - its a goer!

Ok - Mini facelift, liposuction and a bit of viagra.

Sounds like your standard treatment. Lol.

Sounds like a night out in Essex!

exactly!!

now punches out 40 cv more than the California T’s power unit thanks to the adoption of new components and specific calibration of the engine management software

= they've turned up the boost

Probably right, it'll be V6 + Electric. Might have a chance of hitting that power if they nick the one from the Alfa; 500 hp from the ICE and say 100 hp from the electrics. The electric would provide instant torque whilst the V6 gets into its stride. I know, wishful thinking. It'll be the same V6 with 424hp and maybe 80hp of electric.

 

[Contigo]

Don't like it. Trying too hard.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Looks gorgeous and should squash Cali T and N/A prices even further south. Even then Iain's Cali will still have been a steal!

 

[Andyk]

Maybe just me but i see a new McLaren and go WOW .... See a new Ferrari and go.... ok it's a Ferrari.... They are beginning to bore me these days and as Phil said every new model is trying to hard.

They seem pretty determined to come up with daft names as well. I do think visually it's an improvement on the Cali thought at least from the front.
