It's beautiful, I wonder if they'd take a part ex on my Focus.

Noticed that too. I also rather liked the button marked 'LAUNCH'.

Be afraid!

Finally the designers at Ferrari were given permission to use that Alegro steering wheel.

Don't think I'll be able to stand up from my desk now for the next few minutes

Think Alonso has had a hand in its development.

In reply to craig1983: If you search Youtube there's a vid somewhere showing him test a black prototype with a slightly different shape.

Very very nice. But where do you put the bouldering mat?

In reply to Steve Perry:

I'm struggling to get excited by the looks. Maybe it looks better in person.

I'd take the P1 over LaFerrai.

In reply to A Longleat Boulderer:
Have to agree.... where did they get the rather odd name along with the 'Kryten' styling?

P1 all the way with me as well

In reply to Indy:

The bonnet scoop is just too much for me. Too... chavtastic.

Seems (in my opinion) that every other Ferrari flagship is decent... F40, F60. F50 missed it mechanically, F70 misses on looks.

That said, I am reluctant to totally judge until I see one in the flesh. Could take a while.
