Just gorgeous! It makes you wonder, how did these guys over reach and screw up so badly? Why not follow on from the 599 with design cues? This really shows what the platform was capable of, and what was unnecessarily left behind. Maybe the 458 heralds a new era, where Ferrari will design and build attractive cars again. Thanks Michiel! Very inspiring.
I will use a newly developed silencer and level end pipes from Edo Competition. For now I only have various sketches of the front and rear, but not nice enough to show yet.
Seeing the California in person has changed my perception of the car. I still don't love it but got to admit it looks much beter in person. It appears small in pictures but is actually big. While the side styling ( long swoop from front to rear) still isn't attractive the front looks substantial and well balanced and somehow the rear looks ok. The crown jewel of the car is it's interior.. is very very nice. When you look back to the 348 or 355 interior and then the California's interior it's a night and day improvement IMO.
I couldn't agree more. After seeing teh car in person and then driving it, it left me a completely different impression. It really does look much better in person.
