New Ferrari (1st July @ 21.40) - Amalfi??

[bennno]

New Ferrari being released tomorrow night - supposedly the Roma replacement.

Whats everybody hoping for? Personally id like the V6 from the 296 (with our without hybrid) and a convertible hard top (as per Portofino) plus drop dead looks.....

Hoping for something beautiful and exciting.

Expecting a Hybrid SUV

Given how more is more at the moment, this is a mock-up:

I think the lukewarm interest in this thread shows that no one is all that interested anymore. Too expensive, too fast, too quiet, too much depreciation and iffy styling.

My understanding is that it will still be a V8 turbo with no hybridisation. I could be wrong. I am a bit interested as it’s maybe about time to replace my 458 and Portofino and have one last roll of the brand new Ferrari dice (I am well into my 70s now). However I’m not sure I could face the depreciation even if it would at least mean keeping a chunk of IHT money out of Rachael from accounts clutches.
Going to Meridien’s launch next week so shall see what I think then.

Surely it will just be a Roma M, or similar name i.e. a few tweaks here and there and a bit more power. It's a pretty familiar story. Let's hope they ditch all the haptic switches from the car, which by all accounts is the only thing wrong with the existing car.

You’d have thought, but apparently not……

I’m not sure tweaks and a facelift facelift work if it requires expenditure of double that of a lightly used one.

Might be, but it seems they’ve a new name, so you’d potentially expect something more.

V6 from 296 please, plus nicer looks, that’d be epic.
