Good:

- Love the stance, car would have massive presence on the road.
- Wheels are cool.
- LEDs are cool idea for headlights.
- Door/side panel lines are great.
- Front bumper side intakes are cool and resemble current F430 design.

Not so good:

- Too much Masseratti in that front end.
- Mesh looks a little tacky.
- Mirrors positioned too high.
- Fog lights look tacky, unnecessary with the cool LEDs.
- Headlights should be slightly wider too.
- Needs shoulder side-intake like 360 and 430.
- Rear is plain in comparison to the rest of the well designed, muscular car. Needs quad tail-lights to maintain link with 360 and 430.

and that's me done

One other thing, just an observation - I can see some Dodge Viper in the rear 3/4 angle. I know I have more bad than good points, but the good points weigh heavier. This is a brilliant effort and if these small things were fixed it would be perfect for me!

Nice. A bit of Maser Gran Turismo, and a bit Viper and Vette.

But, when the F430 is suceeded it will be a new numerical sequence.

Corvette swallowing an Exige, looks pretty good, but not exactly like a Ferrari.

looks fat!

so sexy

DM1 · 05-15-2008, 02:14 PM

Looks great to me!

lyndon_h · 05-15-2008, 02:23 PM

it has alot of American car hints along with Maser and Jag IMO

LACA335i · 05-15-2008, 02:27 PM

the front form look like corvette c6. im not talking the fog light

AJerman · 05-15-2008, 02:32 PM

For those of you who say it looks like Corvettes or Maseratis or the like, you must not have seen the California. This actually looks a lot LESS like them than it does.

That's not to say that I wouldn't like them to have a little more originality in such a prestigious name such as Ferrari, but still, it makes the concept art more realistic.

I like it though. It could use a few tweaks, but overall it's pretty damn good looking.

They appear to have added a lot of domestic flavor.

Definitely a lot of 'Merican in the car. Eh, I don't know what to think of it. It doesn't look like a Ferrari to me.

Looking back, I think I like it, but as a 430 replacement - hell no. I'm strugling to find much Ferrari in it. Like I said though, it would look good with shoulder intakes ala 360 and 430.

The only Ferrari I can see in it at the moment is the angle the of the rear. It resembles the 599.

footie · 05-15-2008, 05:16 PM

Not to my liking, sorry.
