Hmmm. Not an immediate hit with me, but I suspect it'll be quite striking and I will go all swoony git when I see it in the flesh. The side profile looks OK to me, and suspect the front & rear look like separate bits because you aren't getting the play on light you would in the metal. Expected it to have the McLaren SLR profile, to put the engine amidships as Manu said, and also for aerodynamics. It's quite a bit bigger than the current 456 too.

I'm not keen on the protruding rear lights- don't like them on the Enzo and it's not a great design cue to carry over.

So this is pretty much as expected. When I had the 360 Modena alongside the 456 in the garage, the 360 looked the more modern design- less 'pretty' and more agressive. 456->460 will be the same thing as the 355->360 IMO; I prefer the looks (and sound) of the 355, but the 360 looks more contemporary is a better driving instrument.

Come on it's an designers drawing, we all should know by now that as soon as it's passed out of the design studio it'll get chopped around by the aerodynamics team, parts team and of course euro regulations, even if it is a Ferrari.

Besides designers can't draw properly , no car ever comes out the way it been drawn so it's bound to change as can be shown by the pic below.


If it looks like that I'll be very suprised.




PS And it looks nothing like a TVR.

This is going to be so similar to the Corvette C6 also to be released in Detroit. Interesting!
