$1.1 Million? Fuck me. It better be three times better than a Panamera Turbo or I'd buy a Zonda. Oh and almost forgot, the sideview looks FUCKING HIDEOUS! N

$1.1 Million NZD for a BMW 1-Series resembling (sideview) hatchback???? YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!


NNNNN

Rant over. Good night.

You logged into the wrong forum again didn't you?

Its got more than 2 (ok, 3) wheels... of course its ugly

I think the front and rear views are great.... The profile is less successful with the whole "shooting brake GT" style going on. Probably be pretty sweet in the flesh.
Edit: For 1.1 mill i'd buy an Audi R8 V10 a couple of new bikes and a HOUSE!

That side is fucking hideous.

Seriously, WTF?

[EJK]

If it cost to compete against the Rapide or Panamera then yes, it would be a competitor. Even half a million to replace the current 612, then yeah it's acceptable. But I recall an Enzo cost around that mark back in 2003. That hatchback better be as fast and exclusive as the Enzo (with the cool doors).

I think they may have hired Chris Bangle or one of his minions from BMW...




The Ferrari seems to have the worst design aspects from both of these rather less than attractive Beemers...
The front looks OK, and the back is not bad...but that side view is vomit inducing (In fact the front may hint at a facelift for the 599/612?). And I thought the 458 Italia heralded a new batch of attractive Ferrari's heading our way.
Oh well, at least Lamborghini haven't lost the plot.

My eyes!!

One of my bosses just got a Porsche Panamera - I don't like it at all.

[mashman]

Looks like the ugly bastard child of an Alpha Romeo and a BMW... nono likey, they should stick to "hyper" cars...

[Crasherfromwayback]

I could buy far better and prettier things for 1.1 mill.

[mrchips]

Looks like it needs a hug.

Either that or shoot it & put it out of it's misery.

[Tony.OK]

Have Ferrari hired an ex Chrysler designer

Speaking of automotive trending; You know the Bugatti's blinkyblinky break lights*? I think that will be adopted to other cars in the future just like the Mercede's imbedded side mirror indicators and Audi's LED daytime running lights did.


*I see the BMW S1000RR already have

As far as I'm aware the blinking is only something that shows up on camera (and to some individuals who can see it) as the LED tail lights are PWM (pulse width modulation) controlled to allow the same LED's to function as both tail and brake lights. Although I think there might be aftermarket versions that you can adjust the modulation on?
As more cars and bikes move to LED lighting PWM control will probably be along for the ride.
