If I wanted a Ferrari, why would I want this Ferrari?

Photos of the actual car are on Autoblog





In a nutshell:

4 seater
AWD
Stop-start
over 100 lbs lighter than the 612
6.3L V-12
651-hp
504 lb-ft

It is an... interesting car?

I might prefer the 612 over this- the only thing the 612 needed was a better set of wheels.

If someone wants a Porsche, why would they want a Cayenne/Panamera? If they want an STi, why would they want the hatch over the sedan? Why would someone want the M Coupe over an M Roadster? It's the same concept, just at a higher price range.

I it.

It reminds me of the Z4 coupe...except the Shooting Brake is actually good looking.

That front view is downright mean looking.

Kind of like a modern day Daytona, but not nearly as pretty.

They should have made it a Maserati. The real question is how much plywood can it haul?

I don't have any problem with awd or four seats, it looks ugly from these pics. I think if I pulled into a Ferrari meet in that I'd just be jealous.

Looks pretty nice to me. Not sure I'd take it over a Panamera Turbo S (more functionality, probably about as quick overall) but it's a neat looking car. I've liked the Z3 and Z4 M Coupes and this is very similar, though quite a bit bigger.
