I get where Sutcliffe is coming from because right now it's like trying to shave off 0.5 secs. Then on the next iteration, it's like trying to shave off 0.4 sec. And the next time it's 0.3 sec, and so on and so on. It's bit like diminished returns.

But the thing is that is what's called progress. Without progress, engineers would leave well enough alone and that just leads to stagnation. And that should never be the case. For the enterprising individual it's about further honing and improving. Sometimes some "improvements" are not for the better and may actually ruin it. But more times than not, things get better. And this doesn't just apply to cars, it applies to everything we commit ourselves that is meaningful and worthy of pursuit. It's about pushing ourselves to the very edge of our abilities.

Again, I get where he's coming from, but I don't understand it. I hope I never do.
 
I think that Ferrari is already working on new things, like hybrid technology - in what form I dunno, but Ferrari is well known for going in time with new technology.

If you asked people before 10 years what they thing about FF, answer will be mostly the same - NO. Now FF is reality.

So in few years I am sure that we will see (lets call it) hybrid Ferrari. First entry model, like California, and then all range.
 

Well now we know what goes on inside the design department. Ferrari is the only brand who can get away with designing a rear end like this, not saying it is a bad thing though.
 
Impressive, the F12 is also 1 sec faster than the 599 GTO around Fiorano.

Ferrari yanked back the sheets on the company's F12 Berlinetta at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and the grinning horse has plenty cause to smile. It boasts a ludicrous 740 horsepower V12 under its hood that's capable of launching the vehicle to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds. Hesitate for another 5.3 seconds, and you'll waltz through the triple-digit barrier with ease.

Ferrari took the time to let the F12 Berlinetta loose for a few blistering laps around Fiorano, and the coupe managed to snatch the lap record from the 599 GTO. The newcomer did the deed in a scant 1:23, besting the previous champ by a full second, and the mighty Ferrari Enzo by two seconds.

Engineers positioned most of the vehicle's weight toward the hind quarters, with 54 percent of the vehicle's curb weight pushing on the rear rubber. While the styling certainly isn't for everyone
