Until now, we had the McLaren 720S having a hidden aero-tunnel in the bodywork. Today Ferrari also came out with its latest one-off (for Villa D'Este) and we see the same hidden aero feature again. Do you think there is any chance the C8 will adopt it as well? full gallery
I don’t know what specifics you are discussing yet I do believe the c8 will follow the beautiful trend toward underbody aerodynamics.
Ferrari is quite adept at this ...and I appreciate the more integrated appearance of underbody aerodyanamics and even the less drag inducing integrated body design of exterior panels that improve air flow and produce negative lift or downforce without huge rear wings like the viper ACR and c7 ZR1.
It’s more of a personal preference in sleek designs that don’t always SCREAM track attack in what is basically a street performance car.
Remember this picture? Check out the door! Always thought it is a hidden aero tunnel there

Couldn't have said better myself. I meant the hidden tunnel in the doors that are leading the air to the rear. When we have seen those spy pics there was a mild possibility that the C8 will have something like that also. However those people who have seen it did never confirm this.

Reason: adding picture

Think this was discussed already, but my eyes see the cover forming an opening to the real scoop further back. In other words that it's not a tunnel in the door.

Love the car! Not a fan of the rear “window” but damn if the C8 looked anything close to this, WOW! It looks to me like a Lancia Stratos (one of my absolute favorites) all grown up.

Pretty awful for a Ferrari. Even worse if a Vette looked like that. Old.
I’d love to see the car without the louvers. I like the back end otherwise. But I agree with KITT. The car is utterly scrumptious. The “red” is just awesome.
GIVE ME THE GD KEYS!!!

Yeah, i just picked up my 599 yesterday as a matter of fact
As much as I love the ME Ferraris of recent years, I have to admit the thought of having an honest-to-goodness V12 NA Ferrari would be too much for me to pass up.

The latter.
They build to what the billionaire owner wants.

If you have already been a good customer of Ferrari (and remain in good standing) then you too can order your Ferrari with 1-off bodywork for merely triple the cost of the standard Ferrari it will be built on (or a bit more in some cases.)

Agreed ... its a cross between the 308 and the Stratos ... put a real rear window on it and ... wow!

Will the C8 Design Follow The Latest Trend?
