I recall an article that said you had a Stutz. But the car on the far left looks like a Duesenberg. Is this a Stutz and I am just mistaken?

That's a Studz. I also have a Duesenberg.

Makes more sense as they would not want to annoy some of the pre-selected potential customers by inviting them after the launch

Was hoping for 950 HP from the V12 alone
Oh well, this will have to do

I dunno about the weight tough, seems too good to be true

FWIW, and I don't think I'm telling anything secret, by this time next week, there will be at least one group en route to view the car in in person.

As others have said, private viewing events are scheduled all month.

It'd be interesting if Ferrari we're to spoil the private showings by showing it to the " public " first... just my thoughts.

i'm as excited as the next guy though!

That will be the dealer presentation as a start. Feb 6th

[Hawkeye]

I'm pretty sure the first public photos will be from the press at Geneva on March 7th. There are too many events scheduled up to that date (IMO) for Ferrari to release pictures and data.

... so yesterday there was a presentation in Maranello?

Ferrari have managed something very unique with this car, and I think it's going to be better received than the Enzo was initially. It is certainly prettier, at least to me. Having said that I have yet to see it in person, but I think that only reinforce my opinion.

What exactly do you mean with 'second version'? An even more uber uber-Ferrari?

Oh, and Hi btw

From the front, they look similar. I have seen a number of Duesenbergs in person, but the Stutz's I have encountered vary a lot.

Could it be that the coachwork was done around the same time or by groups who had some design similarities? I know that there were 3 or 4 primary coach builders for the Duesey. My guess is that some crossover took place. At first glance, the Stutz looked like a Duesey to me.

Looking at them side by side, one can see similarities if viewed front-on.

I hate to admit it when I get one wrong. But this Stutz fooled me. (Can't get close enough to see the hood ornament.)
