I think I need to see one in the flesh to make up my mind, really not that keen. Excellent pictures Adam, thanks for sharing them.

I with NickP on this - need to see one, I think its a stop gap for the start of the 4x4 Ferraris. nice pics - do like the one with 458 and the GT rear in the back ground also is that a Test left of the Enzo, bad to drive but a true 80s legend

just seeing the picture of the 599 GTO - not sure if any of you play Forza4 but in there is a section were Clarkson talks about the cars and one point he said which surprised me was the 599 GTO is not going to be raced. I always remember the GTO's were the race cars, 250 GTO was a race car, the 288 GTO was built to race but it never got its turn (rules changed after car was released) were as the 599 GTO was not built to race ? then why would you get a 599 GTO - get a 599 FXX iwhich was built to race

oops - bit of subject

They wont be classics Dem as too mass produced but will go down as one of the greats. I was surprised by the FF, thought i would hate it as it looks huge in the press photo's yet in the flesh it looks quite compact, no longer than a Granturismo.

Enz i play forza, my gamertag is adamm3lv1lle up for a race in the Gransport's any time :)

There was a 355 in the showroom today, in all honesty it is the best looking car in the showroom today, the proportions were spot on. 599 GTO is yours for 335k.

I mean greats....458 is the best in the last few years and the FF has changed the ferrari look for the 10s decade.....

Yes definately, the FF is the first 4 seat V12 Ferrari i like since the Daytona. Be interesting to see the FF in other colours, not sure Red will suit it, i think the darker reds and other darker colours will look the best although i can imagine silver looking good, maybe yellow, no come to think of it, not sure i think yellow will look good.

Still don't like it to be honest, especially in black. 458 though is fantastic. 599 GTO sounds awesome and is probably Ryans favourite to date. He was blown away by his thrash in one and still raves about it.

why the GTO when you have a race 599 FXX which just sounds like a Ferrari should - saying that have only seen the 599 GTO, not heard it yet

the FF is the start for Ferrari but not sure about being a classic, the 348 was a new start for Ferrari but not a classic, it should have been one of my favs the 355. the 458 being a classic - I used to think the 430 would be but now we have the 458 - oh...my...god...what a car

too many made, a quick google search for production numbers- but is a classic what we think was a great car we remember and not based on numbers??

F430 - 25,000+
F360 - 17,500
F355 - 11,206
348tb - 8,215


Yep up for a game - maybe lets see how many other would like in :) - did you want to start a new thread so not to hijack this one

I'm a HUGE fan of the FF, love it as a proper GT for crossing countries. And let's face it, if I had one, I would be driving it between all the houses across Europe I would have!

599 FXX (like the Enzo-based FXX before it) is all very well, but you can't put it on the road! Ergo a pretty pointless car, just a toy - the GTO is the road going version. I agree the GTO was poorly named, is hasn't had to be 'Omologated' for anything. Shame the Enzo never raced, but that meant we got the MC12!

It's an odd thing that I love Ferraris, I know plenty about them, understand their history, evolutin, technology and so on but don't feel the need to own one, I just can't come to terms with them as a 'brand'. Maybe a drive of Enzo's beautiful 550 will change my mind :)

The only Ferraris I would consider buying (if I could afford one) would be the 360CS or the 430 Scud.

I'm a fan of the FF and it looks great in black....numbers in, thats definately on the list. Having seen a video a PH made, the sounds of it are superb too.

had a bit of a surreal moment a few weeks back...on my way to Modena, joined the autostrada near the lakes, the very moment I joined, a silver FF went tanking down the outside lane. Initially, I tried to follow it but he was just too too quick.....I dont know what he was doing, but it was more than I was perpared to do in Italy.

Caught up with ti in serious traffic about 30 mins later....got one cack photo (will post later) but even in silver, it looked pretty. In black...well....superb IMO.
