THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

and rear view ...tail is obscured, so nothing there ...but my guess is much more pronounced rear fender bulge/trough as Napolis says, like P4/5C, the new zonda H and the concept birdcage have

i don't know, IMO you could be right that it will stay those light units (or similar), they seem to fit tight in the appearant panels structure there?! ...someone remarked how expensive it is to certify lighting, so they may look very similar to the FF units internally, but be contoured slightly different on the exterior lens?

 

possibly? ...zoomed in that crease in the panel runs right under the fake door skin, and it runs up over top to the edge of the engine rear window cover

 

Mocking up fenders around the FF headlight assembly would be the path of least resistance, and the likely reason why they would leave them exposed (rarely is this the case).

I think we're going to see something all-new, and it's hard to say if it'll be F1ish in nature.

Whatever it is, we're not looking at it now.

 

it'll be pretty close, the contours under the camo line up, even if they change it in details of the housing ....fact is we'll all be left guessing until it's finally revealed

 

Many spy photos of the Cali had side-by-side exhausts.

 

True, but if you look closely at them you can see that they made up some low grade pipe bends to re-orientate the Cali stacked arrangement to side by side. This does not appear to be the case here.

The mule definately has Enzo type doors on it

 

I really dislike those wheels, they look more in place on a rail wagon. Hope they'll come up with a better design on the final product.

 

I was just at the grocery store and glanced at the magazine rack and saw a mag called
" The Future of Supercars ". I quickly glanced through it and saw a couple pages on the new car and it included a few pics of an actual
car being driven on the road. One was from the front. It was exactly like the car in this drawing. It it just a concept or is it the finished design?

it's a nice rendering, but isn't the car we're seeing at all, nothing in the drawing compares same to the actual surface we see under the mules coverings

 

Read the thread, no wing...

 

That is not the picture I saw in the magazine. It is just to show what the car I saw in the article looked like. The car in the magazine was real and being driven by a man on a country road so there is at least one working car that looks exactly like the pic above right down to the color.

I was wondering if it was a concept or the finished car.

 

I went back to the store and bought the magazine.

First time at the store I just flipped through the pages, saw the article and thought the car was done.

Now that I have time to read it the caption says " ....forecasted here by our spy illustrator..."

So what looks to be a real photograph of the car on the road is really just an artist's illustration.

Sorry for my confusion and I will now be leaving the internet

i understand now.....both cars are exactly alike in that magazine, but they are both digitally created ...hope that helps

 

Oh I hope not.
Just not special enough.

 

I have a probable explanation for the front headlights,
only the front fender, adn spliter are true under the camo, the headlights and camo are integrated and stuck on the bare chassis, there is no body under there at all, same as the back..

 

I believe the final frontal product is under the camo... but agree that there are no rear quarters under the rear camo. There is not enough surface area above the rear wheels.... unless they are going for something more radical in design.

 

This far along in the design process would they be still running incomplete cars?

 

I could see them driving a scantily clad mule around if they are just using it to dial-in chassis dynamics. Porsche is doing the same with the 918.

 

If they're doing the final settings wouldn't they want the weight and weight distribution to be as accurate as possible?

 

I would think that the fine tuning would be done without the added weight of false panels. Much of that work is actually done after the reveal but prior to sales.

 

I guess if we're talking about tweaking that makes sense.
