    click above for gallery of the Ferrar Monza concept
    It appears that after seeing a number of its finest works crashed by errant drivers, Ferrari should consider making something like this. It's called the Monza, and it's part car, part motorcycle, part flying wing, and all anime.
    Independently designed by Iman Maghsoudi, the Monza, whose name recalls historic Ferraris of yore and the race track that hosts the Italian Grand Prix, can go 125 miles per hour. But because humans cannot muster "sufficient concentration" to keep it on the ground and upright, computers take over. They change the angles of the canards over the front wheels and make sure the Monza doesn't go airborne in violent gusts. This study in advanced aerodynamics appears to be the road-going equivalent of an F-16, which seems to be a rather complicated way to go speeds that aren't considered that fast anymore. But hey, it's a Ferrari, it's red, no one else has one, and if we got the chance we'd drive it, too.

    I wish these 'designers' (loosely used) would quit calling their POS stuff Ferrari concepts. What's wrong with calling it the Maghsoudi Monza?

    It looks a bit like a Transformers Robot that got stuck halfway through its change.

    The article says 125 mph is too fast for humans to respond... Funny, my 82 Mondial can go faster than that!

    Something tells me a car with two pikes out front won't meet pedestrian safety standards.

    It REALLY gets annoying, but maybe you get more media coverage if you call it a Ferrari, and not a Maghsoudi. I wonder why the Ferrari lawyers are all over these guys...
