When these first were revealed I remeber feeling a little underwhelmed by the styling but now they're out and about I think they look perfect.

Still not seen one in the metal but they really do look the part.

I was just about to post to say I can't quite believe how awful they look from every angle for the money

Horses for courses though we cant all like the same thing

Very good.

It headed south over Kew bridge then branched left onto the South Circular.

It looked bigger than I'd expected.

I'd imagine most would know little of it but a rare spot in the wild.

Haha! Yes very true. I think in a world with busier and busier styling on Lambos and Ferrari's they're a breath of fresh air.

But I can also see why you'd think the complete opposite.

Its a bit different, some of the F1 simplicity

the fan is ugly though, and they seem very colour dependent (silver horrible to me)

not an issue I am likely to have

Front reminds me of a Ferrari 360. In a way it looks dated but many modern supercars look like they are trying too hard with angles, cuts, holes etc

I'm loving the Blue 512.

I think that 275 is actually quite fussy over the rear arch area. I mean I wouldn't mind one but not sure they are as beautiful as everyone says they are,

Is that a customer car or one of the many prototypes doing the rounds?

Yes!

275s are lovely and that one's a fabulous colour, but the gto exists and I can't see past the unfavourable comparison in my mind. Almost. Not quite there.

Hi there,

Both the T50’s at Silverstone yesterday were customer cars and not factory prototypes. I believe that GMA have now delivered 11 customer cars.

Apologies to all if I'm being thick or unobservant but I can see a blue Testarossa (or a variant) next to the 275 rather than a 512. Very happy to be be corrected.

It’s a 512TR which is a variant of the testarossa

This past Sunday was the Beverly Hills Concours d'elegance which is held every Father's Day. It is essentially a collection of extremely valuable hypercars and/or extremely valuable vintage Ferraris and the like. Not too many regular cars you'd see driving around on your streets. Extremely crowded and displayed down the center of Rodeo Drive, I find the contrast between the unsightliness (euphemism for ugly) of modern monstrosities versus the sublime elegance of older vintage designs quite telling. Probably my favorite car in the show was the lime green Ghibli convertible. It was just so peaceful to stare at with its flowing lines and uninterrupted flanks. Here are a few pictures from the show.
