    I thought it would be interesting to see photographs of modern Ferraris next to their classic comrades, especially those revealing size differences between similar configurations...like say the mid-engined Enzo next to a Dino, the 599GTB side by side with a 365 GTB/4, or perhaps a new California parked next to an old.

    Very interesting pic. And the aged beauty actually appears larger...despite black's slimming effect.

    This is going to be a sweet thread. The question is, when do the "classics" start? Bullfighter?

    That 360/Dino pic makes me want to get a red 360 coupe to go with my Dino.

    The curves do kind of look the same.

    Great thread idea. You can see the Ferrari DNA being handed down through the years.

    Hell yeah! But IMO those are both "modern".

    The Superamericas picture is beautiful (two of my all-time favorites); I wonder when the California/250 California picture is going to show up...

    Also, as others have said, I never noticed where the 360's front fender 'haunches' came from before seeing one next to a 246. Great thread idea, I can't wait for more "ah ha" moments.

    Cheers

    Thanks Jim. First time I've seen the original and the Homage in the same shot. Makes me appreciate the job they did at Pininfarina even more.
    Will you be at Greenwich this year?
