I think it looks great. Nice improvement on the 360's looks.

Things that caught my eye:

483 hp at 8500 rpm up from 400 hp

343 ft-lb at 5250 rpm up from 275 ft-lb

It doesn't give a redline, the 360's was 8500.

 

Ferrari got lazy. Oops did I say that?

 

I like the original 360 body better, I have a model sitting on my desk so I stare at it all day long. I'll take the engine and tranny swap though

 

cars like this give me the constitution to make it to work every day and work at climbing that corporate ladder...i love it, looks pretty damn beautiful, although i liked the way old F355 better in this ferrari segment. who remembers the 348TB? that was a cool ferrari.

 

I like it, it looks very nice. I'm kind've surprised about those #'s that is a huge increase in performance. I guess Ferrari saw what Porsche did not, that the market is making quantum leaps in performance. 483 hp is nice, it might give the new C6 a run for the money. Nice bump in torque as well.

 

For your model?

 

Sweet.

It's good to dream!

 

I hope it sounds just as good as the old engine :D

 

Looks like bad Photochop to me, a truely awfull design. Now go look at a Gallardo.
