The name is absurd and I'm not sure what I think of the looks, but the performance sounds amazing. Check out http://www.laferrari.com/en/ - they already have a great teaser video and a lot of detailed info, pictures and videos about the features. Interestingly it has underbody active aero, which I don't recall ever seeing on a road car before. The seat is integrated with the chassis, custom for the owner and fixed, so the pedals and steering wheel are both adjustable. Apparently it's 5 seconds faster than an Enzo around Fiorano.

it's a transformer!

I'm not sure which model of Lotus Elise I would go for if I had the money, but it's the only car I've ever felt a significant amount of enthusiasm for.

I know the P1 has under body active aero too.

The Porsche 918 is looking underpowerd with it's paltry 790Bhp, compared to the P1 and this thing.

What's worse "LaFerrari" or "F150"? The car itself looks pretty good, much better than the Enzo at least. The engine sounds fantastic. But that name... ugh

Ford patent lawsuit in 3... 2... 1...


Think F150 was only a code name because they've already backed down from Ford once within a single day of being notified that a lawsuit was incoming when they tried to use the F150 name last time. Funny, but not nearly as neat as the old Ford revenge methodology: build a car to beat the best Ferrari.

Never thought I'd say it, but the McLaren P1 looks more cohesive and exotic.

There's something vaguely ricer-ish about the LaFerrari - maybe the different elements that don't blend together.

Who broke into the hot wheels factory? It looks good, but it also looks like a toy. Stupid name too

I think Ferrari actually could have successfully defended their use of F150 last time.

Reading up on patent law I don't think Ford had much of a case. Ferrari probably just didn't want to spend the money fighting it.

Ferrari lost my complete interest when they went away with Manuals.

Testarossa/F40/GTO will probably remain my favorite Ferrari of all time.

PS. I don't mind the new styling. It's ok. Little too busy/over the top for my tastes..

I too am a manual transmission guy (I own two cars with a manual at the moment and have only ever owned one automatic car), but unfortunately the manual-transmission ship has sailed when it comes to high-end sports cars. The fact that the GT3 is PDK-only is an even better illustration of that than what Ferrari has done. DCGs have gotten too good and the market for true manuals is too limited.

That's ok, that still doesn't change what I like/prefer.

3rd pedal or the car is none existent to me. I just need that connection with the machine.
