    I heard similar information some weeks ago,
    it's mean that F70 will be around 17 centimeters shorter than enzo
    maybe they will cut long Enzo front and engine space will be the same? maybe front of F70 will be short like in Zonda http://i38.tinypic.com/11cd3kw.jpg

    Well, this is not his Zonda. Somehow similar color but in a different tone.
    This one featured is a Roadster F. Hamilton has the 760 LH, which is Coupé.

    Sorry, my bad. I would have never thought there were two of that colour.

    The Enzo has exactly the same wheelbase as the 458 and if memory serves me well, that too has a large 6 litre V12. :D

    Yes Tony. The Enzo has some 20 extra centimetres in overhangs (plus that snout) though. ;)

    These are some quote captions from Amadeo Felisa about the current state of supercars from the Angus MacKenzie editorial in this months Motor Trend magazine. The story is titled Slow Dancing

    "Modern engine management means todays supercars are a lot more civilized than they used to be. The problem is good manners can be boring. Even the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is so easy to drive around town it is almost mundane and thats with 1200-hp. You cannot drive cars so fast today. So we have to make our cars as emotional to drive at 120 km/h [76] as they are at 220 km/h [136]."
    For years auto writers waxed lyrical about the joy of getting the clickety-clackety shift right in Ferrari's with the old metal gate shifter. Same with those testosterone-fueled types who muttered that pre-993 Porsche 911's were a bit tricky (read:diabolical) on a rain-soaked blind crest off camber corner even at moderate speeds, but taming the quirky handling was part of the appeal.
    Amedeo Felisa has it figured out: The future of the supercar is a supercar that delights the senses, regardless of how fast you're driving it. A supercar that delivers tactile precision, aural entertainment, and visual stimulation everytime you fire it up and take it for a drive.

    From me
    I truly hope this next generation of supercars does just that. The Ferrari 458 is an entertaining ride. The Mclaren 12C not so much hence it usually losing any comparison tests.

    Ferrari is only responsible for the F2012 in those photos. The other two were altered after they left the factory. I believe the F430 photo to be a photo shop.

    And for that you can blame the regulations.

    No one seems to have noticed the most interesting part of this photo and the tub.

    I thought he could be referring to the fact that the seats are molded into it, but that has been mentioned already. Hopefully he is referring to something new.

    I took about 15 or 20 photos of the tub myself and will put them up this evening.

    Splitting hairs. Zonda's trim was done at a customer's request.

    How about this ugly blue and the denim interior? Car left the factory that way.

    Excellent, I'm looking forward to seeing them. I am referring to the 'dashboard' in conjunction with the seats, the dashboard is more interesting than simply moving to the driver. The 'seats' are very interesting in the car and will be something the client has a lot of choices with.
