Yeah they are definitely not gonna make it look like that, they are all about organic curves now and stuff, just look at the 2001 F1 car, the F50, the 360, it's gonna look like a more organic F50 if you ask me. They always do testing like that with chop cars, Lamborghini was just doing it with their replacement for the Diablo last month.
I gotta agree with you Caribe about the other depictions. It'll look good I'm sure, they continue to amaze us everytime a car comes out, I'm sure they wont let us down with the flagship.

I hope the car does not look like the one depicted on the last link. The rear looks like a Mitsubishi 3000GT and the front from a Mitsubishi Eclipse(previous model design). No, I do not own any Mitsubishis, it just look like those. Personally, I think the F40 and the 288 GTO has been Ferraris best achivements of design. The F50, I don't know, something about it is just not right. Of the ones I can afford, the Testarossa is by far my favorite.

What about this one...
http://www.automedia-online.com/e_spion.htm

The project is called F 140. The car might be given a real name, Enzo. Aluminium/titanium chassis, carbon fibre body, 6,2 litre V12, 670 Hp, 0-100 km/h 3 sec and 6 or 7 speed F1 gearbox. A german called Mike Schum... something is developing the car. Is he familiar? Price: 500 000 $. Please send me two of them...

William, I think that you are right about the spy photos.

Kurt , I imagine its an F60 underneath with a cobbled up body cus Ferrari doesnt want spy shots leaking out till its ready to disclose the F60 publicly

Good question - looks like the front is off a 355
with added cooling slots, the midsection comes from a 348 and the rear again 355 with the wheels set too far back.
In my mind a F60 should look a lot more like a racecar - think of F40 and F50.
This is almost anonymous in comparison.

Car and Driver's website has a section on spy photo's and they claim this is testing of the new F60. What do you think?
