I like it though I prefer Vandenbrink Design's take on a 612 Shooting Brake.

Also I mentioned that Ferrari were going to have a Shooting Brake at Geneva in an earlier topic.

Yeah, those were the days . . .



Why Lambos look always fresh, modern, crisp, dynamik and really cool while Ferraris always miss it again?

Why not, looks great - We need more designs to give props to the cars of yesteryear!

The fezza looks mid front whereas the lambo is more front engined closer to the axle. This allows the lambo to look more flowing from the side.

I can't believe anyone thinks it looks like an ///M Coupé.




The only similarity is that they're both 2-box shooting-brake(ish)s with de-emphasised B-pillars and air vents in the front wings. The ///M Coupé shares more styling cues with the 2-door Escort estate posted earlier than it does with the FF...

Seriously, the Z3M Coupe and the FF have little in common apart from general layout. The Ferrari seats 4, for a start. The front and rear ends are completely different, including windscreen rake. The length:wheelbase ratios are out, and the overall lines are vastly different. The noses are as different as can be, considering safety and lighting legislation that's had to be passed. Truthfully, these 2 are as similar as a BMW M1 and Ferrari 308 GTB. Or a Lada and an E30 BMW. Or a Volvo S80 and an Audi A6. /rant
thank god someone else has seen what im seeing.
all those people comparing it with the z3 coupe need to go to specsavers.

oh and add the rear window to the above list too

yes

For me at least, all the comments about Pininfarina copying the Z3 and Ferrari making a bold new move away from its heritage etc are pretty funny . . . . .

For example, here are two pieces of Ferraris heritage wink

They look pretty similiar to me, especially in the two pics you posted. wink

I'm not sure if this is such a good idea for Ferrari, sure it will make them money but will it damage their reputation? Porsche certainly went down in my estimation when they released the Cayenne, sports car manufacturers IMO should stick to what they are good at.

Doesnt CV = Chevaux or Frogish for Horsepower?
Alomst, but there are two chevaux in frogish, ch and CV. ch is a measurement of power, CV used to have something to do with tax band which is in the name of the Citroen 2CV.

At least they've seen sense and scrapped yearly car tax altogether
