THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

hopefully the mule is staying true to tradition by intentionally making it look as fugly as humanly possible

 

Of everyone out there, Ferrari sure is the best at it.

 

Hello there

I had some fun imagining what this might end up looking like and I drew this:

ingegnere!! Where are you?

 

That really is a great rendering, Good job! It's much like I invisioned it to look like apon seeing the camo pics!

 

hints of the car can be seen under all those mule panels ....it's evidently going to have a very slight body build to it ....likely the nose will be quite narrow, with what appears forced air cooling/downforce (like F50 and Enzo use), and what looks like intakes at headlamps (those are temporary 458 lights used) to accelerate air out from wheels well and possibly exit at the abrupt cut of front fenders tail edge ....my bet is the doors cut out into toward the center, with a F1 like intake pods shape for side impact protection ....a report says an incorporated full width rear wing and looks like it will be quite low aft of rear tires top edge, and with temporary rear intake ducts showing on the mule, likely have small coolers placed there (similar to 458) ....i'm excited to see the final result!

 

Reminds me of a catfish...

The doors are cut into the roof with alot more curve than the Enzo maybe the new design that was floating around last year...

 

I think you got the back, looks great! i doubt though the side will be like that, there are reports of testarossa side air intakes, but nonetheless great work!

 

Yes it was.. And now it is for sale somewhere in Germany...!

 

Actually I think that the headlights are staying. The camo cladding seems to stop just short of them.
The side windows appear to be deeper and the car quite wasp waisted. Think P4.

perhaps some similarities....

 

If I had to bet I'd bet it will be curvier than an Enzo.

 

And if it has P4 hints it will resemble a nonexistent car that did quite well at the Ring recently.

 

does the entire front nose articulate up and down somehow?

 

sounds like most of the design work for the F70 is complete:

interesting that there was no PininFarina involvement:
"As to the styling itself, we understand that traditional Ferrari collaborator Pininfarina had nothing to do with it. The result comes entirely from within the confines of Ferrari own studio in Maranello, led by renowned designer Flavio Manzoni. Could this be the beginning of the end of a long relationship with Pininfarina? We hope not, but we don’t run Maranello."

 

Hmmm, I wonder why?

 

Been coming for quite a while now.
Fiat/Ferrari want to bring as much in house as possible. Makes Some sense if you're an MBA, not as much if you're a Tifosi.

I still find it hard to beleive that they'd go this way but in the photo's it does look like they have.


"Although remnant traces of the 458 are still seen, particularly in the front end, the most prominent design detail that seems to be final is the shape of the rear window which strongly resembles the one on the P4/5 Competizione."

 

Have you seen the car or will you consider purchasing one? Well some people who saw it said it does remind of the P4/5...

 

Jim, in no way would I be in the least surprised if Ferrari considered P4/5 sort of an 'interim' successor to the Enzo very much considering it a springboard to other ideas, and plus the P4/5 has been met with nothing but massive praise so why not make a P4/5 'Evoluzione' or the like? It's a perfect paradigm to adopt in a day when 'retro modern' is so popular yet cutting edge at the same time. Interesting times, is this a renaissance?

 

Great combination of pictures. Thanks.

 

The general form really suggests a hybrid of the 458 and the P4/5. I suspect the design will not have the flourishes of the Cali/FF/F12 grill, going instead for the all-business look of the 458. I do hope that the massive side scoop of the P4/5 is tamed. All in all it looks promising. We shall see.
