Even if all you lovely Ferrari folk hate me for saying this, the following:

Although it is shining in that very glossy-glossy studio style-ee and even if it blows any other car into a rusty old bucket performance-wise, I think this car looks like just another standard-format and very Mr Blobby shaped Ferrari...

I can see the appeal, but it's not quite enough to tempt me away from the dark side that is Lamborghini.

Thing is if this is entry level, then it's going to be hobbled in comparison to the 430.

The video is suggesting it s anew MAserati - but I severly doubt that - the Granturismo is only just launching, and there is rumoured to be a 'hot' version of that due in 08/09 - so where woudl this fit?

Surely it would be great if it is an entry l;evel Ferrari at approx 100k, but Ferrari staff have always reiterated that building MORE cars isn't something they plan to do (aiming at 7-10k cars per year for the next 5 years I seem to remember being a familliar number quoted in EVO...)

SO where does it fit in the lineup?
Are they creating a 599 SWB in homage to the 250SWB? Woudl be interesting, however it seems that this is running a V8 not a V12...

I can see so many cars in that design: New Alfa 8C, Ford GT, Rear looks like an Aston DB7 Zagatto.

I preferred the photoshopped Cayman that was doing the rounds last year boxedin

well , 430 replacement will likely be v10 and ferrari have said their next supercar will be smaller, lighter and likely have v8 tt. imho, the car in video is new front engined car, but i doubt it'll be called dino

What's with the small Scuderia Ferrari shields on the bottoms of the doors, when there's room for a normal sized one in the usual place?

As much as I like the above I have to agree with you. That photoshop job looked the business

This is the most understated, classy and beautiful Ferrari ever. The only thing close to the Alfa 8C for pure aesthetics imo. Hopefully this will be a sign of things to come - no more clumsy wedge of cheese supercars, with a return to miura like forms.

Just a fake, looks to be the works of Maya or Lightwave. History has shown that Ferrari only really release their pictures as those dull looking lifeless things i.e. the photo below.
