Not really a competitor to the M5, but the twin turbo V8 motor puts out similar power (a little more torque). I like the styling changes which take some from the F12.

Beautiful car, but Ferrari is a different level of income territory for me. But it is still a beautiful car.

Such a beautiful car. I love my California. It just needs a little more power. Now they have it.

Hmmm, but will it sound as good as yours & will the throttle response lack the incisiveness of an NA engine (regardless of raw power/performance)?

This is supposed to be a pretty epic motor. But it's also a first for Ferrari. So, we'll see..

I hear it is pretty nice. It is still a flat plane motor but the sound will of course be impacted by the turbo. It needs the power.

So now I believe he meant something else

First Ferrari turbo prod. car since '87.

Motor tech has changed significantly since '87.. so technically it's second, but first in this era..

They have a lot to prove.
Know what I mean?

Something tells me they are going to nail it though. This manufacturer specifically focuses on Ferrari sound and feel.. almost hard to imagine a bad Ferrari motor.

And a 208 GTB back in the 80s which was a Euro only model to help avoid taxes based on engine displacement (2.0L turbo).
