I don't think there's much you can tell from those Autoweek pictures. There could be 4 round lights under those masks. It's way too early to pass judgement on its looks. As for the questions of whether or not it will sell, it won't take much to do better in the marketplace than the present car. The 4 seat Luxury GT market is one of the most hotly contested segments in the automotive world, and a tough place for a small company like Ferrari to compete.

Let the speculation begin! Thanks Roel for the second post. The text of the autoweek article says they are going with integrated headlights, which would be more in line with their other current offerings. Overall, it looks chunkier, heavier even, than the 456GT. Also, a Ferrari trademark is the four round tail lights, which don't seem evident here. Wonder if they will change that, or buck tradition. The Testarossa being the exception, when a car company breaks tradition, sales suffer, if they change too much, will this car sell? It will be interesting to see what comes of this in the next year. One thing for sure, I don't have enough to go on to build a model of it at this point! |

I just registered at that board, but the link Roel just posted is the same, same 2 pictures same text. So no need to register if you don't want to. It does have a nice F40 vid though and info on some other cars aswell. Edit : That F40 vid is the same as posted by James Dixon in the "Ferrari F40 Video!!!" topic ( http://server.ferrarichat.com/~ferrari/ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/21/164955.html?1037171178 ) even the link to that vid is the same.
