RE: Ares 'Project Pony' creates modern Ferrari 412

[howardhughes]

Stunning. It's a shame it's not an official Ferrari from Modena, but still a gorgeous looking car.

[Dr S]

Money no object, I'd take this over a GTC4 any time of the day

[DonkeyApple]

It looks lovely. All the elegance Ferrari was famous for and has lost in so many of its modern cars. They ought to hire the team that designed this.

Something with Dany Bahar involved garners praise on Pistonheads...must check the weather forecast for Hell, see if I'll need a warm coat and gloves.

True. Personally I always thought he had exactly the right idea for Lotus but started its execution in a slightly odd way.

Surely I can't be the first to say "this looks pony"?

[996Keef]

Does it actually exist yet. Looks like a render

[JMF894]

Love that and yes i would change the wheels to.

[Agent57]

Looks great.

I'm curious with some dull legal questions though.

Presumably it can re registered as a brand new car? Not on a Q plate. Would it be an Ares or a Ferrari? As mentioned are pop-up headlights still legal on low production models?

If so, bring it on.

Defo a render - the shadow underneath is a giveaway.

It's a bloody good one mind.

C-pillar is not "Ferrari".

Front end, prefer the donor car's, and actually must say that prefer the donor car throughout.

I love the interior of the Ares car, but like you I prefer the exterior of the original. I particularly don't like the tacky chrome strip around the windows and the horrible wheels. Then again the chances of me forking out £810k for any car is somewhere between infinitesimal and none.

[ZX10R NIN]

Now that looks amazing.

[Captain Smerc]

fk yeah !

[Hilts]

I like it apart from the tyres.

More low profile than a black dude at a Ku Klux Klan barbecue.

[Black S2K]

Arse produces a beautiful design shocker.

It does remind me of the re-skinned Omega that Erich Bitter was proposing a decade or two back.

No you are second or third.
I agree with you

[JoshMay]

Reminds me of a 400i Fezza, that might not be a good thing at that price.
Agree about the wheels, not in keeping with the rest of the car.

[996Keef]

Luckily it's not real.

Is this the future of low volume vehicle production? Release a few bad renders and await the circlejerk? Then decide to go ahead with it. Pathetic tbh.

Build the car.

Then it should sell itself

[Kawasicki]

The interior doesn’t fit to the exterior. It seems to be two different cars.
