Open source virtual Fchat-designprocess: NEW DINO

Personally, I like Ernesto's the best. I thought this whole idea for an affordable Ferrari or Dino was off the table. I have to say that I would love a new Ferrari even a less expensive Ferrari which I do not feel would damage the Ferrari name if done right. BUT, the talk of making an affordable Ferrari with a Maserati engine based off of the Maserati convertible is scary! I think that would hurt. Come on, let Porsche make a Boxter but Ferrari doesn't need to sell out that bad. The company is healthier financially than it has ever been. Why do they feel that they need to gather market share. I think a smaller and less-expensive (but not cheap!) Ferrari done right might be great! But some of the rumors and drawings escpecially of that California front engined convertible which looked like a cheap Maserati Spyder with a Ferrari badge on it was not a good idea! In fact, it was horrible!!! I say they should hire Ernesto! I like his ideas better!

 

I have followed this thread with interest...and today I stumbeled over this site... http://www.etereaestudios.com/docs_html/nixus_htm/nixus_blueprints_index.htm

Could maybe be of some interest.

Staffan.

 

Well... Thank you very much!

Ernesto Freitas

 

No...what I meant was that this guy could probably contribute to the new Dino))

Best.

 

Jim am I hallucinating or does that baby Ferrari on businessweek really resemble your P 4/5?

 

nice look, i like that.

 

Looks great Ernesto!
Without a doubt the best concept I've seen in this thread so far.
Keep it up, following your own style!

 

What is going on? Where are everybody disapeared? Let's keep this thread alive: it's too important to be burried at this stage. Michiel, Italo, Ernesto: please finalize (or make something absolutely new!) your concepts and we will vote. Seems that every one of you can offer more than one concept. Happy drawing!

P.S. The air intakes could be placed in the C-pillars and back trank could be just a little bit more bertonesque...

Hello,

Here are very nice designs/renderings. The Dino must be retro, not new design.
She must be retro with a 21 century lines at a Ferrari.
Look at the 599 GTO, very nice design with retro lines. I hope a design here can post. This a beautifal contest to let see you dream over Ferrari's..

 

I agree about the intake,though I really like the rest, the overall proportions/flow,it has a squat nimble streetfighter look to it

 

OK, enough with the food holiday, time to get serious again with this thread. Anything new in the last week?

 

Michiel,

How many of the GTO's are being offered? What is the price to play?

 

Any of the GTO's for the USA market?

 

Ferrari Emblem?

 

Is this the one for me? :}

Hurry up and show them how cool a new Dino could be! Then they might think twice!

 

can't wait to see the final design presentations

 

Is it time to vote for the favorite design?

Michiel, should everyone that wants to participate submit their final design on a separate thread with a poll, and let FChatter's vote over the next few weeks?

Then we submit the winning design to Ferrari. :}
