    Very intresting project! I'm not experienced in any of those fields, but I hope I can be of any help anyway, and I'm sure we'll all learn a lot from this experience!

    hello

    what can i say....I aint a ferrari owner yet only 19 :(

    But you would have made me put down orders on 3 of your designs..

    The black and silver coupe@ the 1st post/612 convertible and that gto


    Your designs are just crazy man, you have done ferraris work all for them, you should seriously contact them with them and many other car designers you got talent.


    that 612 looks nice..looks like an entry level model ferrari..it not as in your face as just say a ferrari 430 spider

    very suttle might be the colour as well.

    :D good luk

    Weee I'm glad you decided to do the Dino :):)
    I guess you allready know that's what I was hoping for ;) And that it will be a Fchat one is just even better :)
    Unfortunately I'm no expert, so I'm not sure I have something wise to say ;)

    don't undersell yourself - you have some great talent there.
    Being a doc, I'll contribute to driver safety by providing a condom and spermicide for the glove compartment

    Michiel, design something radical, like what a 2020 F80 would look like. Then get cavallino to make a model of it. That would be awesome :)

    Great idea and very interesting project, because I've been working on a similar concept, for a 21 century Dino based on the F 430 chassis.

    I could contribute some of my renderings to this project, but unfortunately they won't be your beautiful Photoshop renderings, but just paper and marker renderings.

    Wish this project the best and let the fun begin !

    That would be very welcome.
    During the ideationprocess I can use every idea you and other Fchatters can provide.
    It's open source!
    It doesn't matter how the designs are illustrated as long as they communicate.
    I allways make simple pen- and markersketches aswell.
    I could use a 3D-modeller though...

    Splendid! :)
    If this car will be as appealing as I intend it to be, just one condom would not be enough, I think....;) :)

    Thanks!
    I still need a lot of various experts!

    I would like to have some more team members.
    When most of the departments are covered, I would like to start sketching the conceptdesign.
    Anyone is invited to send in their ideation sketches.
    But only if there are some more "partners in crime" I will start a new thread.

    Tube framed or unibody? Materials? If it's a V6, it's not Ferrari-powered, so we need to be looking for another powerplant. Maybe some front-engined FWD platform that can be adapted to a mid-engined layout -- what's Alfa have in a V6?

    Tube-framed fiberglass/carbon covered cars aren't all that hard to create, see Factory Five racing or any of the major kit car manufacturers or street rod guys.

    To import to the States, the car will have to be a kit, drivetrain sold separately.

    Just random thoughts.

    Nothing has been decided yet.
    All things above will be discussed during the project, just like in a real development process.

    Please PM me with what you can contribute to this project.

    The 3.0 turbo duratech engine in the Noble is a pretty decent powerplant. It is pretty straight forward, and can produce gobs of horsepower. It should also be able to pass emissions in America...

    I don't want to start the discussion in this thread yet.
    When there are enough team members I'll start the Dino project in a new thread and all can be discussed there.

    First let me know if you are interested in participating in this little project.

    Been mucking around with ideas for the Enzo - based P4/5 as it's such a fascinating idea (and thread). Didn't come up with anything that I think will resemble the real car but this is the pic I ended up with:

    Beautiful! This looks as realistic as any of the ideas I;ve seen, but again, there is no way to know how close it really is. Jim also metioned his troubles with oversized ducts, so you might want to make the ones on the back smaller or remove them completely. Damn good job though, I couldn't do it.
