If Ferrari get close to the mark this could be utterly awesome as the last V12 Prancing horse using the Enzo name this should be the car of the century....

Talking of which, can Mclaren better the F1 ? if they are touting a £1M 'successor' Its going to have to be completely spectacular, can they do it ?

This popped into my email this morning, might be relevant...

Im in partial agreement with feeling a lack of excitement here, even though its looking to be a bonkers car and it should be ticking all the boxes.


Maybe its got to the point now where supercars and hypercars are becoming so fast, nimble and generally technologically efficient that some of us are becoming numb to their progression? Although obviously all the markers keep dropping on spec figures, lap times and so on, in my mind at least its accepted by enthusiasts that its pretty meaningless in the real world. With cars like the Veyron fighting for a top speed record which can only be achieved on one privately owned loop, yet idolised by your average Joe for its credentials and areas that used to belong to enthusiasts ruined by their saturation brought by games and the lads at Top Gear, Im starting to think cars like this dont really have much to give to the enthusiast anymore. Only to the super rich for collections, and for people to gawp at in the car section in Nuts magazine.

I may be off the mark but thats how I feel about it all, first when the 458 and 12C went head to head. They both have their plus points but overall seemed so electronic I couldnt work out which I preffered. Im aware that these are still likely to be great drivers cars but without driving them it doesnt seem like you can have much idea atall of how they drive. With the way things are going surely it wont be soon before cars are so powerful, well specced and electronically reigned even driving it wont give you an idea. Feel, foibles and character will be gone. With cars this powerful I really dont see how its not going to be 95% numbers within a decade.

Im not knocking progression of course, only that although generations of enthusiasts have always stayed back with their era of cars, the next generations will be making decisions based on the numbers and nothing else as the tech filters down and eco policies tighten. Which is a shame.

I'm still amazed at how well the old Enzo has aged over the years, it's still looks contemporary in todays world.

So does the Fiat Mutipla...and personally I prefer the Mutipla's looks.... The Fez only wins on noise and performance....and technology....and scarcity...

it still looks just as unstylish and formless now as it did then you mean? 288GTO, it has all been backwards since then (F40 aside).

Oh yes yes yes yes yes

Not if I can do anything about it

A lot of workout will be needed to become a contortionist. Have fun though.

And that's about as far as it went!
