The 812 is imo the best looking car here

F12s ass is still something special to me, that curve down to the middle is just godly paired with single circular rear lights. Too bad the tdf ruined that, but then again its perfect from the front.

I do love the sculpted bodywork of the 812. The 812s side profile design was inspired by the athletic body proportions of the cheetah/big cat, and it gives the car a more aerodynamic and a muscular look.
The 812 GTS = perfection. I know design can be subjective, but op, I doubt you could design a better looking car. To call the current Ferrari design language ugly is insane.

The 296 is the best-looking car in the Ferrari lineup by far these days. I agree with the OP on his observation. I currently own 2 out of the 4 in the pic and have the last one on order. Albeit it in GTS form. I also still have the 296 GTS, among others, and feel like the current design language has lost something that Pininfarina had down to perfection! My 355 GTS and 458 GTS are both stunning to look at even today.

That’s an amazing correction. The 458 is just tops for me.

u/ExtremeAmbition5266 7h ago
The 458 is just a pleasure to drive in any iteration. I've had every version, and they're all amazing. I just wish I hadn't sold my 458 Aperta, but at least I was able to acquire a final year 2015 Spider to keep in the collection.

The f12 is by far the most beautiful one here, the full frontal and rear shots don't do it justice as it's sides are so cool looking

Literally, have these people even seen Pininfarina's latest designs? It's very similar to Ferrari's current design language (but much worse IMO)

u/SubbansSlapShot Nero 458 Italia (2014) 13h ago
You are 100% right on that. They just don’t want to admit it. The problem is, these people are always hating. They never have been and never will be Ferrari buyers anyway (which in itself is not a problem) but continue to disparage everything new and go into posts which have nothing to do with Pininfarina designs and shit all over them (which is a problem).

u/Salt_n_skies 1h ago
All personal opinion of course, but I find the Battista to be the far nicer car, despite them looking quite similar. I’m just not a big fan of Ferrari’s (or every current manufacturers really) efforts of making the headlights as thin as possible

Roma too. The F80 wasn’t meant to be beautiful and elegant. Or have a buttery smooth V12…It was meant to be fast, and showcase the latest tech.

I think the 12 Cilindri genuinely looks prettier than the 812. I dont think the 812 is ugly, but the 12 Cilindri just feels and looks more classy.

Yep, agree. The new Ferraris mostly just make the older ones that much more pretty and desirable. Styling is just goofy right now with most super cars. Who the hell is drawing this shit up? Some AI engine? Where are the new young designers with talent?

u/ImageRevolutionary43 15h ago
That would be Flavio Manzoni, and he has been with Ferrari since 2010. He had designed the LAF,F12 and he had created the current design language. Most of us could not do his job, and his designs had created a positive new direction for the brand. Not including the 599, but he has been in charge of designing three generations of the V8 and the V12 Ferraris.

u/chrisacip Lifelong Ferrari fanatic 13h ago
Pininfarina was involved in the F12 and 458 Speciale. LaF owes a lot to Pinin, too, but it was officially Manzoni's first fully independent project I think. Read up on him to understand more about the transition to Ferrari's full in-house design center. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavio_Manzoni

u/Patrick0714 15h ago
Promote him to the main designer lol, we need more Laf styling

u/ImageRevolutionary43 14h ago
He is the current design director. It is his job to supervise every design project from start to finish. And he also makes the executive decisions.

Ugly to whom? The ppl that can’t afford one?

u/Repulsive_Owl5410 16h ago
This is a stupid take. Just because a person can’t afford a particular car doesn’t mean they can’t have a valid opinion on its aesthetic.
I could afford any of the 4 and I also think the 12cilindri is an ugly car. For what it costs there are a dozen cars I’d rather have with my money, and being quite blunt, that goes for several recent models of Ferrari.

u/Jazwel 16h ago
Congrats. Go buy them then. We’re talking about a car that’s flying off the shelves. I doubt the owners are crying to Reddit that the car is ugly. No need to flaunt that u can buy one, it’s corny and pretentious.

u/mingemuncher88 11h ago
They made like 2000, so its not exactly some great feat to sell al of them. If you think its a handsome car good for you, i think its a shame ferrari has lost the plot design wise. Their new models are straight up not good looking, check the comments in this thread for more similar opinions.

u/Jazwel 11h ago
Check the comments in this thread for similar opinions to mine. If u think it’s ugly .. good for u, highly doubt I’ll be seeing you in one anything soon.

‘Yea i wont be seeing you in this overpriced butt ugly car’
Youre right about that pal!

u/Repulsive_Owl5410 10h ago
So just to be clear, it’s cool for you too keep telling people they are too poor to afford the cars…but if someone tells you that they can afford one, that’s pretentious.
Honestly dude, there are a lot of d*ckheads on reddit and you’re one of them.

Ferrari design is pretty hit or miss now. I liked the 12 Cilindri, the SP3/P4 and the Roma.

I don't like 12cilindri exhausts but it is NOT a bad looking car. In fact I think it is very cool that they tried to do something different. Astons and Mclarens are good looking and no one buys them + they are not distinguishable. I adore pininfarina but they also did the hiunday matrix. Exotics have to be daring, to take risks

Next to each you see how it went thanks for posting. I’m just grateful they make cars people love.
The stock is up about 100 bucks a share this year. Thanks everyone.
Love the down voting. It’s the truth. The day these are worth more than sticker is over. Stock is the way to go.
Btw the last car looks like an updated Ferrari Mondail.

Pininfarina designs always looked a little happy. New cars look grim and determined.
Personally, I like pop up lights and naca inlets to molded headlights and big hole intakes.

Their newest designs will likely grow on us - but for now they almost seem ‘kit car’ like.

I still don’t get the hate for the 12Cilindri. Love it as a futuristic take on the beautiful 365 GTB Daytona. Sure it’s not straightforwardly pretty but it and all the sports GTs are good looking cars.
To add, I always saw the shapes of the F12 and 813 to be evolutionary from the 599, which is why I’m likely more impressed by the new car. Glad to see the 12Ci moving away from it.

u/dresina80 12h ago
I’d call it evolution.. keep In mind everyone has their opinion . Of course we’d love for our favorite style to stay forever , but if things don’t change over a long period of time, then we’ll say they are stagnant in their design approach . 🤷🏻♂️
