And made them prettier.

Actually, the wheel seems reminiscent of the F50 wheel to me.

$60k C8, $370k Ferrari, interiors the same quality. Hmmmm. Nope. Too funny.

It really doesn't look that much different than the 488. The 720S is much more striking than this car. Ferrari doesn't have to worry about sales, their customers line up and buy whatever they make - you can't even buy a new Ferrari unless you are an existing owner, and sometimes they "force" people who want the special cars like the Pista, to take one of the slow selling front engine cars off their hands before they qualify. It's a totally different market.

Considering the VAST difference in price, between the ferrari and what MOST believe the C8 will come in at, the difference in interiors is not surprising. Frankly, that ferrari interior does nothing for me. Seems overly minimalist.

That is the one thing that I don’t like about the Ferrari’s. Say what you want about the corvette but I think it’s a better looking and much more livable cockpit than the 458,488 and now f8

I never said anything about materials, just layout and center console/tunnel design.

The closer I got to being able to afford a 458, the more I realized I didn’t like the lower and more narrow center tunnel.

I’m leaning more toward Lambo now for that reason, among others. I love the Gallardo/Huracan higher center tunnel because it feels more like a cockpit, and I would have a place to rest both elbows when I want to :-)

I think the 458 and the F12 TDF were two of the best looking Ferraris ever made and their new models like the F8 and 812 Superfast are a huge step backwards in the design department.

Some of you guys are nuts, the F8 is the most beautiful thing Ferrari has made since the F12.

Default Interior features suck .

Appears to have: No big touch panel, HUD, Android Auto, etc... So pretty non useable in real life..

I think GM Design does a great job w the Corvette overall. Ferrari is a work of art however.

Good thing: The Ferrari rear end looks nothing like a Camaro
Bad thing: The Corvette does

Aside from the tail (which of course we haven't seen yet) my other big issues is the size of the C8 wheels. Either the wheels are small or the C8 is freakin huge.

Why do they build such provocative go-fast eye candy to be driven on roads with such low speed limits!!!!!

This is what the C8 should have looked like. The open concept interior is where it's at. Having an ugly ski slope divider between the driver and passenger takes up unnecessary space and creates a feeling of separation between the driver and passenger. Not to mention makes the interior feel more cramped than it actually is. It's just like homes- at the same square footage, an open-concept home feels MUCH bigger than a home with a bunch of rooms and walls.

Also those round taillights on the new Ferrari F8 are timeless. And they are textbook "Corvette" - look at the awesome design feature we gave up to other brands! The angular taillights of the C7 (I love the rest of the C7 design) and soon to come C8 likely will not age well (10, 20,30+ years from now). There's a reason Ferraris have such timeless designs, there are more "curves" than "angles".

The C8 will no doubt look good, but not as good as it could look.
