I'm with you on the general principle but from the pantheon of Ferrari models pruduced over the years the Mondial is a very long way from the ugliest!

Mental though - >£320k down the swanny

I'm struggling to think of any production Ferrari that's uglier - loads of weird specials out there by styling houses but not sure they'd count.

The 412 is a close contender I think.

The 412 isn’t ugly

The correct answer is the California. The Mondial just looks a bit plain.

California, FF, the back end thong of the F12.

Yep, California for me. I actually really like the Mondial, it's not a stunner but it's quite classy... In standard form. That one's been ruined IMHO. Glad the deluded fella got what he wanted... Or not given he's selling it :lol:

It says it sold for £80,000 or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Off the top of my head, basically anything between the F355 and the F430

And losing the one USP of the Mondial in the process - deleting the rear seats 😂

The BMW design language... comments under BMW's latest Instagram post doesn't seem to positive either.

Also the launch colours are a bit strange. Don't mind the green M3 green, but the orange interior looks a bit of a clash.

Yeah, the headlights and the beak are quite reminiscent of Pontiac styling.

It's actually growing on me for that very reason.

Maybe I'm due an eye test again soon.

The press shots are a lot more flattering than the spy shots. I quite like the M3 in that green.
