OMG... that is simply stunning...!!! Awesome improvement!!
The standard 612 Scaglietti was terrible in my mind. In my mind, it tried to be more elegant than Ferrari-eqsue, but this Novitec Rosso had totally reinstated my faith in the Ferrari (along with the 599 GTB which looks awesome!)
For some reason, that first picture looks spickin' awesome. So low, so dark at heart and that face, just staring at you with a sadistic smile. It's pure evil, ... and that notion is further conveyed with the smoked rear lights. That low-hung stance, the ever increasing waistline and ofcourse, the quad exhaust.. they all add to the appeal of this car!
I always wanted to know what a 2-door sporty version of the Maserati Quattroporte would look like...
... and this is exactly that!
Very similar curves, very similar styling elements (especially the raised waistline at the C-pilar) as well as how the car continues to drop off towards the front of the car. Here's a good picture to compare:

(** The reason I put those CGI's is so you the lines of the Q'porte can be better seen)
Love both cars!!
