    I don't like it. It doesn't look like a Ferrari. The back looks like an old Corvette.

    Veyron had a child with an IROC Z. Nah, JK. It actually is kind of nice, and not unlike what I'd expect from Ferrari these days -- over-stylized cars with too much power.

    The Dino reminds me of a Lotus Elise.

    That is really ugly. Put a Mazda symbol on it.

    Lots of 599 in that drawing attempt, but way off the mark for a real Dino.


    Yes, but more accurately, vice-versa.
    The Elise Designer was heavily influenced by the Dino, Lotus' Mike Adams has had a Dino for many years.

    Dunno Mike Adams...but the Elise Designer, Julian Thompson has a 246GTS and was quite open in the press releases that it was an influence during the design process.

    Right direction but needs a few tweeks.
    The front of the front end is slightly to high - fenders could come down a hair, and the nose needs to come out a little. Face is too squaty.
    The headlights have to come down a little. The top of the headlight trim ring should always be at or preferabbly well below the hight of the front wheel.

    Back end is good.

    All of this talk about the influence of the Dino upon the Elise escapes me.

    If that were the case, why is the Elise so ugly?
