The 599GTB Fiorano reimagined.... Michiel's Vandenbrink GTO

Yes, she will.

 

Is that hard to do or can the 599 systems Cats, etc. cope with the bored/stroked engine?

 

Almost everything will be upgraded/revised/optimized: new air intake system, electronics, camshafts, valvesprings, coated valves and completely new exhaust system, etc, etc... the engine will be completely be rebuilt.

 

Very Cool.

 

LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL SKETCHES!!!!!!

GREAT RESULT! GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT!

 

THANKS!!!!

Neither can I...

 

Stunning! I hope to see one in real life someday. Can you tell us were and when the real car will be unveiled?

 

Can't tell yet...

 

Any chance of it being shown at a carshow in Belgium or Holland someday? Top Marques Monaco would be nice as well .

Congratulations on making one of your dreams come true .

 

Someday yes.

 

Very interesting project Michiel ! I'm really looking forward to it !

When the car officially will be unveiled ?

 

Somewhere in 2009.

 

Very impressive images/design Michiel! I really have to get your autograph next time....will you sign the Autovisie for me? Last time we met was in Apeldoorn last year.......too bad that the concours was cancelled this year.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Vu

You forget about the second last Dutch Fchat meeting!
Sure! I'll be delighted to sign the Autovisie for you!
When the car is finally finished in 2009, you should apply your photographic talent!

 

Michiel,
Glad you went with the 599

My personal opinion, everything looks killer. I just think that bump in the hood could come down some.

Good luck with the project. I look forward to the result. What a fun undertaking!

 

WOW! I haven't seen this latest version. I'm stunned. This is the best modern interpretation of a retro Ferrari that I have ever seen. Great job!

PS Any chance you'll do a modern take on the Cal Spyder next?

 

I Have a question about the design, with witch programs on pc's do you work with? 3D max? ad more? what kind?

 

Wow Michiel - you've surpassed the high standard you set with your original designs! Truely a beautiful looking design. Congratulations - I can only imagine how wonderful you must be feeling right now! I agree with Top Gear's quote: "Ocular Nirvana: arguably the best-looking car in the world".

I want one!! A 630 GTO would be nice; though a 599+the conversion costs almost 2.5 times what my house did...

Will there be any interior chages, or will that remain the same as in the 599?

Wishing you every success!!
Carl

 

Interior redesign is optional.

Yes and many many more websites, but I don't want to bother you too much with that.
Magazines are coming up as well.

Thanks, Kenny.

 

Michael,

A question or two:

1) Are the LEDs at the front position/side lights or indicators?

2) Are the taillight lenses Lotus units or bespoke?
