    So a friend of mine who lives in the US just put up this status on Facebook... Any guesses as to which car he's talking about...?

    "Just brought my brand new ride home from the dealership!

    It’s an import with a carbon fiber chassis, a racing pedigree, and its name begins with F"

    For some reason... he's telling me to be patient and all will be revealed...

    But somehow... I don't think it's an F40... I'd guess it's not even a Ferrari...

    No...

    "And it's name begins with an F" he said.....????

    4C begins with an A. But it does have a CF tub.

    And he said 'brand new' to him, not a brand new vehicle.


    Ferrari, FIAT, Ford...

    He could just say the model name begins with an F, not the manufacturer's name. And 4C is said "Four C" so the F could come from there. I don't think that's what it is, but it's a decent guess.
