A lot nicer than some of their more recent specials, but not €3M nice.

Headlights too high up, side vent too large.

They have used the Willy shaped wheels from the original Aventador/Ford focus.
Not sure what I was expecting but had hoped the whole thing would have been a bit more custom retro, looks more like an Aventador body kit and different exhaust outlet, disappointing as I thought it would be really cool car for the modern age.

Ferrari ‘F40’ next apparently, following on from the Monza SP1/2
Hilarious really.

Impossible to build an F40 today regulations don't allow it

I'm fully expecting a revived Pantera to pop up in the next few years. Very iconic car, particularly in California.

If that's it, I'm disappointed!

Has neither the elegance of the original Periscopo nor the drama of the later winged monsters. Even lacking compared to their recent offerings. It's a fail I'm afraid

Few things sap the soul more than the PH forums. Congratulations for reminding me why I hardly bother visiting any more.

Seems a bit harsh, I thought it was a fair question, and I was wondering what the answer was as well. confused

I thought the same.

Ferrucio andAndrewD are knowledgeable posters with experience of the sort of cars we’re discussing, but it appears that there’s been somewhat of a strop here.

Shame really, that you feel the need to be so needlessly abrasive. If you’ve made your mind up why you “hardly bother visiting anymore” then fair enough - disappear into the ether and don’t waste your energy announcing it.

+1 - I wondered the same and thought about posting the same question for the same genuine reason

the missed opportunity was to make something good. rather than the vague pastiche they have come out with thats worse than any of the fan renders from the last 5 years

purely using the name to grab some cash

all IMHO
