Link - Thoughts?

Would particularly like your feedback on the front and rear air management innovations and the idea to seperate body colour from the carbon technical structures

Is this the vortex generators/ gurney etc? https://www.ferrari.com/en-GB/auto/sf90-spider

As to the interior, really don't like all the "smooth" button clusters. You will have to look at them to check your pressing the right bit, unless it is actually textured; about the last thing you want to be doing in a car like this I'd suggest.

And what is "Assetto Fiorano"? What is the actual difference to the standard car, other than its not a colour more normally seen on cheap SUVs?

Its the very profitable boy racer kit that in last week's results presentation they were happy to announce was being specified by 40 % of buyers @ £ 40000 as I recall

Pretty expensive racing stripe!!!

As to the aero, all very clever but as Pete says those fins under the front wouldn’t last 5 minutes on a uk road; but then I guess most won’t need to worry about this as they won’t be driven! As to the gurney; why do all designers completely forget the aesthetics of when it’s deployed and you can see “under” it?

As to a lightweight stripped out car; how would they make any profit without a tailor made programme?

Still the technology looks something else and must be a completely different experience to drive hard.

Well it's been mentioned previously but that's what lotus did. Reduced weight by removing the luxury items people expect. Aircon, stereo, carpets, sound deadening and then making it a cost option to add it back in, which pretty much everyone did

I think the Lotus Evora was closer to Ferrari league and the latest 410 sport looks nice. I was really tempted by the Evora 430 GT but didn't have the balls to buy a lotus. Shame really as I could have had a new car for £000s less than what I paid for a 9 year old Ferrari.

.......and must be a completely different experience to drive hard.

I think that experience would go something along the lines of great fun followed shortly afterwards by a letter landing on the door mat informing you that you no longer own a UK driving licence. There's no way you could drive this hard on a public road and be anything close to within the law.

Obviously on a track you could explore the performance more but then if you buy a car for the track would it be a Spider with all the 'mod cons' or would it be a stripped out light weight racer? Why not buy a 488 Spider for the road and with the £200k change go get something track focused for the track? A little like Simon I struggle to see the point any more.

Don't get me wrong, I do quite like it....... but then I quite like the 458/488 Spiders and there's nothing on this car in terms of performance advantage over a 458 or 488 that I could actually use. So, like I said, what's the point?

Easy, increase the price, they've been doing it for years!

To be honest I think the 'Vortex Generator' (if that's the fins under the front end?) will end up dented and ripped off at the first sign of a normal British country road, and I'd be surprised if anyone could honestly tell the difference when driving if the 'Shut-off Gurney' was actually working or not. I'm sure it's all very clever and impressive but I think we're probably past the point where it makes a jot of difference when driving in the real world.
