That looks fantastic, love the little grilles in the bonnet ala 250 GTO

Surely not 'First Class' since not even the Royal Mail would take more then two years to deliver the original press release to the OP

I can only imagine the flood of tears from those that say the 599 GTO isn't a real GTO if this was real

Reminds me of the Aston 77.

Don't like that at all.
Proportions are all wrong IMO. The rear looks like a Camaro, the wheels are all wrong and way too large and the rear window / shoulder line is way too cartoon like.
It looks like a 14 year old designed it.

It looks like a 14 year old designed it. I could not disagree more. I have been openly critical of Ferrari's design language over the last few years. Their recent cars including the 458, the FF and the new F12 just do not have the "WOW!!" factor. This concept on the other hand exudes real power and street theatre, it looks intimidating. I also really like the updated nod back to the GTO. Slap a couple of numbers on the side and it would look ready for Le Mans. Someone should get their hands on a crashed 599 GTO, ship it off to Pinifarina and get this built

No grace. No subtlety. It just isn't a Ferrari IMO.

It just isn't a Ferrari IMO. Toppstuff, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything like that but I would be really interested in you expanding on your "Detailing is clumsy" comment. What do you mean by that and could you point to a couple of examples? Thx

Definitely more 21st century Daytona Cobra than Fezza GTO IMO.
Lacks subtlety.

Its well balanced, if a little over styled.
The front grill is too wide and angular for my tastes.
The rear should be cleaner for the Kamm look, other than my artistic criticisms rather amazing.

Looks more of an Aston than Ferrari.
One-77 mixed in with a bit of Ferrari and Corvette.

Thx Hey, relax... You clearly feel quite passionately that you like the car. That's cool. I have the opposite opinion. That's cool too. We can respect each others point of view. For me, it looks like a caricature, Too extreme, too clumsy in its design and very American in its styling cues. But that's just an opinion, just as valid as your own.

Hey, was not getting wound up, was just asking a genuine question. More than happy for us to disagree, bit boring if we didn’t sometimes. Just interested in how people come to certain conclusions that’s all. Still think your wrong by the way
