Both the the Rossa and Enzo were designed by the same guy. I like the nose treatment on the Rossa. Retro yet modern. The hood cut-out is interesting. Think that feature will make it into a future Ferrari? |

Yes, that car is absolutely gorgeous! I was lucky enough to see her at Concorso Italiano a few years back when they honored Sergio Pininfarina. I to think that is the super car they should of built, even though I also love the looks of the enzo, but I'm a fan of the nostalgia. |

"The tail on the original 57 Pontoon TR is actually nice & flowing. The tail on the Rossa looks like it came off a Miata" Just noticed William's comment. You're of course entitled to your opinion, but I think the Rossa is a beauty from all angles and Ferrari probably thought the same and reused the "Miata" tail for its Enzo:

The entry to the festival was made under Pininfarina's name. So yes, there is only one car and it belongs to the maestro himself. |

No13 I envy you for the people free pictures. By the time I got there it was pretty crowded:
But I won't complain, I was just happy to see it after having missed it last year in Calif. I never saw it running, did you? And yes, this is the car they should have made. Not sure they would have gotten that windshield streetlegal, but anyway. |

Now that this car is a little older you can see how they have incoporated the little styles into the production cars. The Enzo uses the headlights and taillights, the flat top steering wheel and the drawings of the 460 are using the Rossas very round rear and taillights. This is still one of the best looking cars ever. |

IMHO... this is a car they should have made... Incredible... classic looking grill, fins, 550 powertrain, six speed manual, sports seats... just awesome! Thanks for the pics. I just love the sporty interior and F1 style steering wheel... Oh and the Enzo's tail lights where inspired by the ones one this car. |
