Ferrari Caterham style ?

(almost)
such an idea is way too sensible for Ferrari though. There's no way they'd ever want to sell something that would be a) cheap and b) easy for the owner to work on and customize. think of all that delicious money they'd lose out on!

Awesome sounds. Laguna Seca is just sublime too - really wish they'd get an F1 race there, that would be epic!

I was thinking more Radical SR8, or modernised Ultima. I don't think Ferrari would be poaching customers from their current lineup since their current cars are a long way from being light spartan sports cars. Even the F50 suggested by another poster is perhaps only a 1/3 of the way to such (1230kg is far too heavy). If Ferrari don't think a light sports car fits with their brand image - produce it as a Maserati or an Alfa.

Having thought about this, The best chassie builders in the world are /or is a man in a shed, with a passion. Supercar brands are such because they can make a chassie work with all the gubbins, a very fine mathematical equation; thats balanced.

Ariel for instance is a class act, with a very low production cost Vs the asset value ....

The F50 goes some way towards being that type of car.
