THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

wow...from the silhouette of the mteal plaque and teasers this looks like its close.

 

knowing Mr. LaColla,I think he did these on his own based upon what he's heard

but I'll ask him

 

Superb render.

 

I've not seen it but I would expect the nose to have specific slots for front wheel brake cooling like the f12 and teased at in the official pics released. This is a bit too 458 dominant... Side looks reasonable given the teasers and the back as well... No spoiler/wing tho...

Turning into an air pump must change the sound of the exhaust during deceleration, yes? Using the compressed air is a replacement for a supercharger mechanism... What are the chances it can be drained away before refilling? If it has a secondary compressor already does the braking really help? Any idea how much benefit it derives from the braking pump? Can easily imagine a significant weight gain over kers tho...

Yeah, that was supposed to be the next big thing. I think cost, complexity, size, power requirements and durability concerns in high temp environment conspired to put that on ice, for now anyway.

 

These look awesome.

Obviously missing a few details that we have seen on the mules, but looks incredibly feasible

 

Nice renderings, but too fat around the cowl area. Back end looks feasible.

Shape of the sides similar to what I posted about a month ago and before the release of the line drawing on Ferrari invite.

Still believe those are vents in the center of the hood and still expecting to see some kind of bridge from cowl to front fender - a more extreme version of F12 design.

There's an article in the lastest Evo that goes into the specifics of this system.

 

Even more sad for sure.

RIP.

 

The underlip in this new render makes it look awful and the rest of the body isnt that great either if the new Enzo is to look like this... but the rear and the back fender looks like the best remake so far.

 

Those are freaking stunning.

 

I'll be disappointed if it's that. No zing and looks tubby.

 

Interesting rendering. One has the sense that these are getting close. Will we see an exactly accurate rendering the day before the announcement?

 

That was my first thought too, I was hoping for something amazing going off what other people have said but the only thing I like about those renderings is the rear, F1 rainlight knockoff and all. Horrible, just horrible.

 

Its not it... nor would it be..alot of elements missing...looks like the base was a 458/Enzo

 

Base image was a pair of Enzo pics from Boldride.

That's not it.... but it's real close.

 

Just spoke with him.......he made them up

Awesome job IMHO

 

Lots of convex surfaces on this latest render which makes the car look plump. The mule is a lot sleeker.

 

If the mule is to be used as a guide, that center air intake is reversed. It looks more like an aero effect on the mule.

 

I thought it looked like an exit for front radiator air on the mule. It'll be interesting to find out what it actually is.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

It does. If anyone has seen the car, I wish they would comment. Most of these renderings have the center scoop reversed.

 

The rear is "similar", particularly the tail-lights, the rest is wrong (eg, the intake which should be reversed in two separate "fins". This render is too conservative. The actual car has a much greater WOW factor to it.
