I don't like it at all. The curves, the silhouette, does not work at all, it does not "speak" to me as a Ferrari. Again, a heritage brand ruined by an obnoxious, pesky iPad like display that has no business being in a Ferrari. The front profile is hideous too.

Looks like a Polestar and Corvette had a child.

I’m a big fan of the interior & Ive design (and am not always a fan if his). The exterior is pretty cool from the front and back … but from the side and at angles it just doesn’t register as Ferrari at ALL. Seems to scream for a longer wheelbase but that’s not the whole issue. It just looks very mid-market from those angles.

Agreed. But by the description it sounds like it has very long wheels base.

I figured as much given they were comparing it to the Purosangue. Unfortunate that the proportions just make it, idk, horizontally squat looking.

I read the comments before visiting the website. After the page loaded I was like: "Well, the silhouette from above and the color looks neat!"

I scrolled further and saw the front of the car, and now I get what the comments meant. Holy moly. That‘s worse than the Jaguar rebrand on my scale.

On top of this, it's 5x more expensive than a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra... which may be the better car regardless of price.

The doors are dumb as hell. So I guess the front and back people have to take turns, because only one can squeeze through that gap?

Presumably the range is only a few KM, since Ive said, "You don't want a bigger battery."

And after ruining Apple's computers for years with his POS keyboard and embarrassing emoji bar, he's all about "tactile controls" now? Or was that the will of someone who ISN'T just a pompous hack?

Oh wait: Someone pointed out that there are KNOBS on the steering wheel. So there are wheels on a wheel. That has Ive all over it.

Introducing the new iFerrari XS It's 140% better than the previous Ferrari Enzo And 20% thinner With a brand new Magnesium case It's the fastest Ferrari we've ever built.

Fine print:

Range up to 10 Km.

I guess Ferrari always preferred form-over-function to some extent. It was never the utilitarian's car but now you can't even get in a four door car at the same time. I'm really at a loss.

Ive is an overrated plonker and my first reaction is to wonder if all the serviceable components are glued in place. Do you know why no one has ever put rotating switches on a steering wheel face before? Because it requires two fingers to operate the switches and thus taking your entire hand off the wheel. Those knobs and switches might as well be in the center console because it takes a similar amount of effort and…

Wow I didn't see that. Standard Ive incompetence.

It's galling to see pompous, no-talent douchebags like Ive continually held out as some kind of innovator.
