I think I'm staring at LaFerrari too long and am starting to see images of this 1995 Ford GT90 concept in my head. Do I need to go out for a bit of (very) fresh air?

I still wonder what happened to the one that Nvidia guy was building in his shed.

The exhibition sounds good, already planned to go to the Ferrari museum when I am in Italy in June, so this is a bit of a bonus biggrin

I agree with some of the above comments, that's a more flattering picture of the F150, sorry I mean "LaFerrari", that those from the show.

La Ferrari is starting to grow on me too.
It's growing on me, albeit in a different way.

Like scum on the top of a stagnant pond.

Must say that new pic of the La ferrari looks much better and well proportioned? the previous picture showing the rear wheel hidden in the arch looks hilarious, this looks much better.
Exactly what I was going to post, looks much better in that photo than those i've seen previously.

Technology. Design. Myth...

Passion, bella machina, ciao baby, Tifosi, Forza Ferrari !!! Blah blah blah blah...

Ferrari have become a parody of themselves. Drowning in a sea of hyperbolic cliches.
Agreed! They may make a decent car, but the company appears to be dissappearing steadily up its own arse. Somebody seriously needs to decouple the car company from the bullst media machine before the latter starts to ruin the reputation of the former...

well as i replied back to the email from maranello, i will take the set, the nubers have been bought, just waiting for them to come up one the euromillions!

i must admit that La Ferrari is a naff name..recon should have been called F70 which i am sure will be what everyone will actually call it!

then again..it is absolutly superb, anyone out there need a new granny, as i have 2 for sale!...:-)

I wonder how many people all but glance at TheFerrari and head straight to the interesting ones. Personally I'd want to get a room with the GTO Evo...

Shame about the name and although it's quite a looker I'm going for the McLaren P1 which looks the ultimate expression of a ground effects high downforce beastie. However Ron WTF left hooker only, presumably export sales only? But no UK available too so I say again Ron WTF ! Mr Pagani will happily make RHD so why can't McLaren? UK, Hong Kong, Australia all RHD Ron so get the woking boys back on the job as I WILL NOT buy a LHD car in the UK. Memo to Stockbroker do not sell my stock until further notice!!!!

So, how much would it cost to fill your garage with this lot? 250 GTO, '288' GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, 599XX Evo, GTO Evo, F40 Competizione and FXX
Roughly 40mil I reckon, maybe less depending on the cost of the 250 GTO
Just over half of that I think. The difficulty won't be expensive cars such as the GTO, it will be convincing an owner to sell you an F50GT.

Nope, A 250GTO recently changed hands for £32million so thats leaving just £8m to get the rest , even if that would be possible.

So that list,

250GTO - £30m
288GTO - £800k
F40 - £600k
F50 - £500k
Enzo - £900k

The others I am completely guessing at but well over 7 figures for the super rare stuff.

Prices for the hyper Ferraris are just mental at the moment

The 'better proportioned' LaFerrari is a styling buck and not a real car smile

Something clearly went wrong when making the working one then? smile
