I like the look of it, but I'm a little more excited about the car in the pictures below!!




Could it be this???

No i'm fairly it's not a photoshopped Enzo

[pistonpie]

looks like the California...and I love the California...not sure about that front bumper though, hopefully that will look a bit different, apart from that...gorgeous - looks less like a Corvette than in the other pic

[epom]

Oooh i like that too... 458 like front

Looks like it's pretty easy to troll autocar users....

They've now closed down the new user reg page, and you have to email autocar to request to join! LOL

Personally I like the new 599 replacement though parts of it look fussy. I reserve full judgement til the 29th though, hopefully Ferrari surprise me again like they did w/ the 458

[DBSnappa]

I hope that's a styling buck as there are some really messy and unresolved swage lines on that flank, particularly above both wheels, and the cut off at the rear looks more like the 550/575

[Rawwr]

Looks very... clay.

That car in the spy shot looks a little bit like a 330P4, which is a good thing

Another Fat Ferrari to ad to the list . . . all these power houses do is go fast in a straight line and then eat through £1500 worth of rear tyres when going sideways round a corner. Ferrari go back to the 360 CS and 430 Scuderia, Enzo, let Mercedes make the fat exec cars that have more power than sense !!!! Pointless power !!!

[DazBock]

God that's good looking

[Dr S]

Looks promising and makes me really want to see the real thing.

Please don't mention any similarities with the horrendous California (IMHO) and spoil my joy...

[Mini1275]

Hmmm, not entirely sure on the look.

I think I'll have to see one in the flesh or at least some better photos before passing judgement.

Shame there is a Pistonheads banner obscuring the rear roof line

Any chance of a rethink on how images are tagged on here? Loads of times that banner is just a pain in the behind.

Totally agree.

+1

Also, I think somebody should call some kind of internet plumber, there's been a lot of leaks today

[ck76]

Steve Sutcliffe over on Autocar has just posted some rumoured officially unoffical performance figures. They're talking 0-124 in 8 secs dead, making it less tha 1 sec slower to that benchmark than a Veyron, and a faintly ridiculous nearly 2 secs faster than a Macca F1!

Er...awesome then

[Maxige]

That's how the real car will look like...I was at the presentation and the finished car was in a room (Fiorano's box) next door!

Specs are already all over the internet, so don't think I'm breaking any embargo/secret if I'll say that:

0-100km/h 3.1 sec
0-200km/h 8.5 sec
Weight to power ratio 2.06
740 hp
690 nm @ 6000 rpm
118cv/l
1525 kg

Fiorano lap 1'23"
6262cc
Compression Ratio 13.5
8500 rpm
80% torque available at 2500rpm

Prehaps some kind of new tagging is in order? Maybe a colour pistonheads smilie in one corner rather than a full on banner tag? Prehaps even a friendly competition on the site to design a new websie photo tag? (I can picture the photoshops now)

ps. This rendering based on the original hidden in shadow shot and this clay model looks quite nice, if a little too pleased with itself....


Happy Ferrari is happy.

1525kgs? unlikely i'd have thought, no?

[TomTVR500]

I will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh. I am not too sure about the FF style front grille. However a Ferrari should never be silver...... ever!

That's what they said....then maybe that is the weight without any liquid etc etc etc....there are so many way to be misleading about the weight of a car!
