Famed Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera just got their hands on the Ferrari F12 for their newest creation: the Berlinetta Lusso.

Inspired by the 1966 Ferrari 166 MM Touring, the Berlinetta Lusso is said to take some 5,000 man hours to build. Pricing and possible performance tweaks are yet to be determined. Official public debut is set for this year's Geneva Motor Show. What do you guys think?

It looks soooo much better than the I-can't-live-with-how-uninteresting-my-normal-life-is-so-im-going-to-supplement-it-with-over-styled-"Aerodynamic"-body-lines-on-what-will-effectively-just-be-a-GT-car-for-me F12 styling

I'm sorry, but whatever is taking 5,000 hours about this thing I am not seeing in any of these pictures. Slightly more attractive than a regular F12 I suppose, but it's still not really doing it for me.

Holy wow. That looks so much better than the standard F12.

A bit weaksauce right here, but otherwise a very good-looking car.

Yeah 5000 hours seems like an exaggeration

With that much time they should have been able to install a gated shifter

I really like it! I much prefer the curves over the over-the-top-rip-your-face-off edges.

See, I like it because it's so simple and toned down.

Oh I like the simplicity, it's just that the way the quarter window ends is just so...abrupt...and it doesn't follow the lines of the car at all.

I see what you mean now. The window does look abrupt. They probably could've followed the shadow down the rest of the quarter panel and it look that much better. Maybe that's what they wanted to do but there was an issue with packaging?

That's beautiful. Improvement over the F12, which I already love.

I like it. A little bit of a retro mouth which is cool

That said it does look like a new miata

Possibly. However, the regular F12 has this problem fixed:

So the issue is entirely of Touring's own making.

It looks pretty nice. The front chin spoiler looks really weird though.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I find the F12 simply obnoxious and overwrought. This, though, is clean and elegant, as a GT should be.

that's what I thought

That's a very nice Aston Martin you have there.

I'm not crazy about the stock headlights and the too-big cheese grater mouth, but overall it's drastically prettier than the overwrought F12.

Also, is it just me or is there a TON of Aston Martin in the design? Though it's easy to understand as they still make what is arguably the sexiest cars today (though I'm not entirely sold on the new Vanquish).

That is all I can see.

Looks like they ripped that grille straight from the previous generation California...

It could be better without this crease. But otherwise, stunning :)
