Autoweek had a piece about the F60 last week, and it sounds like they're shooting for a fall release. The picture they had made the headlights look like they were fixed upright! I assume those are either temps, or flip-overs. But the bodywork made them look permanent. |

Well, since my sound didn't want to cooperate, it sounded a little more like an electric car! |

The car is wack...thats funny! Anyway.. Cavallino is reporting that the cars price will be over 500,000.00 euros. Unless you are a bazillionaire or own a parking lot of Ferrari's...don't expect to get one anytime soon as Ferrari is and will be very selective on who gets one.(as always) |

Can't wait for it! Very F1 inspired, although it still needs a wing of sorts IMHO.
RMK.
PS. Interested in pricing, anyone know? |

It doesnt look that fast, im sorry but it didnt take the corners fast, either the car is whack or the driver is a p*ssy. |

Sounds like a typical Ferrari V12.....Beautiful... More like a GT racer than F1 though. In fact, very much like a Group C racecar... |

The front end looks like the old BMW 850 series don't you think ? |

I am thinking it might be a GT-1 race/street car. you know...the 360 GT is now being built by the factory. |

Although the F50 was released in 1995 and made until 1997, so the F60 could be released as short as 3 years from now. Or in modern lets-make-money-times under the lawyer, it could be released tomorrow and we could forget about the meaning it is supposed to have, because then we could make more money which is all that really matters right? |

Nice to see the test mule in motion rather than in static pictures. It's difficult to know if it's a V10 or V12 by the sound. But in an interview article with Montezemolo, he insisted that the FX is a V12 car.
Yeah, a true F60 would have to be released in 2007. It will be difficult to top if the FX turn out to be a really good car. |

Cool site. Who knows what the Italians are up to with the whole F60, FX, thing. It seems odd to me to make this thing now and then another supercar in 2007, making this ridiculously expensive car no longer the latest and greatest, who knows. |

Cavallino has a nice story on the car in the latest issue. Remember the car won't be called a F60 as 2007 is reserved for that model. |

Does anyone know for a fact, that the FX (F60) will be having a V12 engine..
I would think it natural to introduce a new V10 engine... just as in the Formula 1 cars..
Judging the sound on the spyvideo on Bilfo today.. I'm not convinsed of the V12 story..
