After the debut of the F80, I wasn't sure I could be less of a Ferrari fan. Now they've popped out a new 4000 lb AWD V8 model and slapped the hallowed Testarossa badge on it. It's just an SF90 replacement and looks like an absolute train wreck (to me).

 

I don't understand the approach they take for some of the cars.
The SP3 is like one of the coolest rides I have ever seen (in pics as I have not seen the real thing).
The F80 is on the other hand, not my jam and this 849 Testarossa is in the same category.
On the other other hand I really like how they revised the Roma into the Amalfi, and I have a deposit on one of those (number 3 at my local dealership) and the car is expected to be produced in 2026, first half of the year ideally.
Now I am hoping the Supreme Court bats down the tariffs.

 

On topic for the Testarossa - agreed, subjectively ugly. the F80... bleh, but at least it's functional and hypercar-tech inspired. F50 is subjectively the best looking Ferrari for me. Also a huge fan of the 812, because I like shooting brake designs.

 

4000 pounds?

 

Maybe it will grow on me. However it seems like multiple designs slapped together that don't seem to flow together.

 

Let's just talk about cars.

 

The more I look at the design the less it all flows together. Not that I will ever have the money to buy one so I am not the market. But I just don't like the looks of this thing. And everything just keeps getting heavier and heavier. I am at heart a BMW guy and have loved the M5 for what it was and now the new one is over 5,000lbs. What a tub of lard

 

Rich people want ugly shit

 

Not for me.

I just got back from a few days in Budapest and outside the Four Seasons Valet stand at any moment are usually six or seven cars worth a collective 3 millionish bucks. At one point I saw two Ferrari 12 Cylindris and some new (not sure the model) brand spanking new Aston drop top that made both Ferraris look like garbage. That Aston was the most beautiful car I have ever seen.

 

Yeah, and the 992.2 Turbo S is almost 3,900lbs. C8 ZR1 is similar.

Cars have gotten hugely fat.
