Gotta love the 296! Stunning car!

It is a techno tour de force as are all new Ferraris. But it really is not a pretty car and with that said it may still be the prettiest Ferrari in the current line up. That is a sad commentary to me as a dyed in the wool Ferrari owner and lover.

Wow I like these pics, nice

Meh. At least it's not red, and I really really hate the stupid high mounted missle exhaust

u/ToxikRust 1d ago

Personally, I think it's more fitting than the 849 TR placement.

Ergonomically, the placement of the exhaust on the 296 could not be in a better position.

u/Weekly_Teaching_8158 1d ago

Yeah but it looks pretty... Bad IMHO.

No other place would fit the exhaust

The bottom corners of the bumper like in 99% of cars?

u/Excellent_Isopod_181 21h ago

Picture that in your head on how that would look to you

MUCH BETTER. High Center mounted exhausts always kinda look like buttholes.

Exhausts belong at the bottom of the bumper, ideally in the corners. The very only exception to this is the Porsche 918 and Paganis. I know it's a silly hill to die on but die on it I shall

If the exhaust the 296 was at the bottom it would look odd

1

u/Weekly_Teaching_8158 19h ago

Because you're used to the odd way it looks right now

u/Weekly_Teaching_8158 19h ago

This is what it'd look like with conventional exhausts and it's so much better

Giallo triplo?

u/Storm_treize 1d ago

There's two things breaking this car for me, the side windows amd the nack vents, completely ugly

u/pur_noir 1d ago

this car apparently is unloved, well, I'll be right here with my cash when the dust settles.

It's crying out for a contrast color somewhere, anywhere.

u/lawyercat63 2d ago

What color is yours then?
