    To quote John McEnroe. "You cannot be serious" :rolleyes:

    One of the best Ferraris ever built as far as I'm concerned.

    of course, on THAT car the middle pipe is for the wastegate.

    maybe they're going to turbo the 458 :)

    I thought that was the rumour hence my first post on this car. When I saw the 3 pipes I thought yep Turbo. Weapon.

    Edit, BTW like you would know. Did you own an F40 at some point.........

    At first nano-second glance I got P4/5 feelings then as I moved towards the back a little Enzo hit me, then back to overall and those things could easily be debated, but I gotta say overall I really like it and think this will be an amazing Italian design, My personal take is WOW!!! Otter P.S. I have to crack up about people that immediately start in about what they don't like etc..I think just kick back and take it in ....... there's only so many ways a designer can go these days, check out the overall result, get the passion for what's happening with a new Ferrari !!!!!!

    Just when you thought Ferraris couldn't get any uglier, Pininfarina pulls up this piece of crap...

    Simply amazing.

    Passes the ultimate test.
    Does the body make you want to model it?
    The answer a resounding yes.
    Its the next best thing to rolling the panels yourself by hand and the curves have to be flowing and alive to have that special appeal.
