Some were hoping for a hard core, lightweight super car, some imagined a replacement for the 250 GT California of old, and some hoped for an F430 replacement, however, we received none of the above. On the contrary, we received none of those. What we see could be a replacement for the 575 Maranello, a 2+2, with possibly a folding hardtop, and a big V8 in the front and *gasp* a second pair of seats in the back. But there is one problem. It's not that original. It's drop dead gorgeous, no doubt about that, but is it really a Ferrari? Does it really carry the flare, the insanity, the passion, and the soul of the Ferrari's that we've all come to love? To me, it feels like competition for the BMW M3 or the Mercedes CL63 AMG, but just more expensive, and with that heart-stopping Ferrari badge on the front, and a few pieces of carbon fiber here and there. What we have here is not a supercar, but a toned down Ferrari, a subdued prancing horse. It almost feels like Ferrari held back on this one, it's missing the purity and the excitement that give Ferrari it's name, and all we can hope, is for the lunacy to return.
