    Hate to tell carscoop but... a Spider, by definition, is not a GTB...

    The California and 599 GT spyder look very similar.

    Sure. The letter "B" in "599 GTB" stands for "Berlinetta", a term used by Ferrari to describe a fixed-roof coupe. So there probably wouldn't be a car called a "GTB Spider"- it would more likely be a "GTS" or "Gran Turismo Spider", a designation that has been used on past models such as the 355.

    I have this shot of the Vandenbrink 599 on my wall paper on my computer. It is elegant, beautiful and timeless.

    Looks like something Howard Roark would design.

    I always like this one, but never saw the rear: can you show, hope it's a bit 'different' that the original

    More likely it will have a name ala Superamerica.
    (and it won't be as nice as Michiel's)

    The rendering shown in post #7 is absolutely beautiful!
    Like most things with an elegant, curvacious shape, it looks even better topless!

    Thanks. It can be ordered here: www.vandenbrinkdesign.com :p ;)
    Either deliver your 599 and have it converted by us with a carbon fiber folding hard top or wait for the official Convertible from Ferrari and start from there.

    I must ask but what the hell has happened to Ferrari? I have seen the California pictures before but it gets worse. That car looks hideous and very kit-car ish and Japanese. It may look better in the flesh but even then, Ferraris should always look good, even in photos.

    Michiel,

    Sorry to ask but how would you expect the roof to flip back as either side of the roof is wider than the area it folds in to? Or is that how impressions go? :)

    Thanks

    Matthew

    Don't take those first impressions too serious. It was a quicky... just a one hour job on request of some Fchatters a long time ago.
