Mother. Of. God. Look at that engine bay!!!
It usually takes me some time to warm up to a new Ferrari design (a-la 458, FF, etc.), but I think this thing is pure sex from the instant I saw it.

^^ Ridiculous. While Ferrari is still hanging around in the last decade desperately trying to improve aluminium, Lambo keeps investing in CF r&d thus getting a bigger and bigger advantage. Aluminium will never be as light and rigid as CF...

Its a completely different car. For a super GT aluminum still works. Of course I'd prefer carbon but alum keeps costs down and let's them focus on more important things than 10/10ths performance- ride quality, NVH reduction, etc. The 599 might be silly fast but its not a race car, its a GT. This is the same; bonkers performance but still works on normal streets.
McLaren might be the only ones who have bridged the gap so far.
