OK, let's get straight to it. 605PS (597bhp in old money), 398lb/ft as before, 1290kg instead of 1380, 0-62mph in 3 seconds flat and 0-124mph (200km/h) in just 9.1 seconds! This means 1:23.5 around Fiorano, in case anyone keeps tabs on that. It also has lots of aero witchcraft that have given it the look of a tuning company's car if you ask me, but hey ho.

More pictures ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )!

Whoooo-eee that there is beeeyoootiful!

Ok. That said, Red, White, and Blue? This is Ferrari no? Should the 3rd color not be Green?

It looks like the paint scheme for the British Red Arrows or better yet Team America has a new car Gary...'Merica! F-Yeah!

I think it's probably a historical reference to an old racer. The 599 GTO was available with something similar.

Can I delete this little winglet?

The shark fin at the bottom? But then you'll reduce overall stability at 186mph by 0.12%!

The funny thing is that you are EXACTLY correct on why it exists.

First thought:

Pro:
–» performance :sweetjesus:
–» better front end, still needs less logo at the bottom

Contra:
–» there's a butt on the passenger side dash panel
–» wheel choice seems awkwardly pedestrian from a design POV (or is this a pro?)
–» racing stripes in Italian co waitaminute!
–» annoying winglet is annoying, ruins lines
–» something about that rear end ... it looks like a Scuderia banged something that was already a bastard child of an F12 and a very specific sloth .

I give it 8/10; will probably skip this one. ;)

Solution: Paint finlets black, acquire whaletail spoiler.
