    Are any Ferrari emblems going to be used on the final? What is the timetable for the first completion? (aka real pictures) How much $$?

    Do you think you'd maybe get more takers if it was suited to a 550 or 575 chassis?

    You would definately have to do it on the 599 GTB. As stated before, if you are going to do it...do it right. Go all out!

    I like the design and would love to see pics of the real car. Best of luck with the project!!!!

    Design is still in development, this pic is just the first impression which started it all.
    Just wait and see when this baby rolls out of the workshop...

    Don't know and don't care.
    Just one would be very nice, five at max will be fantastic.

    599 would be the better choice imo, faster then the 550,575

    That is fantastic news !!
    I have a question though , how does the new shape compares to the original 599 in terms of aero/downforce ?

    It's a TVR/Ferrari blend without too much of either, so not too weird. Definitely aggressive, without being too over the top.

    Thank you all for the compliments.

    We're figuring it out.
    Aerotesting will be done later in the process.

    Damn Michiel, you're good. You're really, really good. You nailed the rear. The front looks a bit slab sided, but I can dig it.

    Now, I don't suppose that there is any way of wrapping a Cal Spyder look-a-like around a 599 is there...

    Best of luck with the process.......looking forward to see the result! :)
    I did not mean to be harsh or rude against your design at all, I just did not find the first sketch much "Ferrari-ish"! :)
