    FFS. I want a 355, then they bring out the 430, which is a lot more expensive. I want a 430 then they bring that thing out. Beuatiful and amazing, but £150K is a bit steep.

    What happened to affordable supercars??

    Yeah, that does look a lot better than the recent offerings (i.e. anything after the 355).

    They do seem to be having difficulty designing the rear of the cars though, look at the 599, Enzo, 430 and this one to a degree, all look shit from behind.

    First one is quite interesting but Id still have a 355. Second one .......... £18K!!

    I suppose the GTR, new M3, even the gayman are as capable as the last breed of Supercars - to make them better they have had to make them more expensive.

    Isn't the Caymann sub 300 BHp and minus a LSD tho? Pity as they look loads nicer than the chubby 911.

    The new Z4 looks quite tasty I think

    I really like Ferrari because they are 100% about speed and style.

    I suppose they had to make something "entry level" that is comfortably faster than the GTR. That is the way to answer Nissan, not whining about Ring times like the Porkers.

    I bet if this was a new Nissan instead of the new Ferrari and the thread title was "OMFG NEW NISSAN HYPERCAR" everyone would be high fiving each other and having a collective splumph sesh.. You can't say that things ugly nea chance!

    PS:M3s are brilliant
