Ferrari 12 Cilindri Announced
May 03, 2024,12:29 PM
New Ferrari 12 Cilindri looks in-cohesive in my non-expert opinion. I do not have a Master of Fine Arts nor any deep work experience in the art world. Surely, the performance will be phenomenal. The engine is still naturally aspirated with approximately 820 horsepower.

To me, it looks like the Italian brand is trying to bring back Fashion into the car world - when it should really be about Style. I'm referring to the definitions of Fashion and Style as Yves Saint Laurent said ("Fashions fade, Style is eternal"). Yes, it resembles the Daytona from the 70s - Baby Boomers will get the reference. But doesn't it look forced?

I still lean towards the more rounded design of the Ferrari F12. But that's just my personal preference.

It's a beautiful car. Except the front isn't my favorite.
What are your thoughts? Isn't the name kind of lame too? "Ferrari 12 Cilindri" is a really silly name in my eyes. Hmm. Now I really like the F12 even more!
