    Right, it's probably an elaborate hoax (build 2 cars and rent an auditorium) to excite a bunch of FerrariChat watchers.

    Design doesn’t matter???

    After all these years, I’ve taught you nothing?
    Seriously?
    Tell that to Mr. Manzoni.

    Putting aside the fact that I have seen far more realistic photoshop fabrications than this, and digital cameras don’t do double exposures, you are probably right that it’s a legitimate leak (hmmm, can a leak be legitimate??)

    It’s a mock up of what it’s supposed to look like, with all the aero and tech. The rear wing will be far more articulate (bendy) than it is now. And the mind bending aero will be there as well. Notice there was no start up. It’s supposed to be more comfortable than the Valkyrie. I believe that they are putting the finishing touches on the Valkyrie. And that V12 sounds crazy!!! I think it’s supposed to come out at the same time the AMG One is.

    That vid I posted was no Clay Model. That’s carbon fiber all around, just no working TTV6 engine in it.
    Aston has the V12/V8 DB11, the V8 Vantage. The Vulcan, again a limited edition car, ended recently. The Valkyrie is finishing up with development, with clients allowed to VR spec it. Again we don’t know what the future holds, but the they revealed the RB003 allowed reviewers to sit in it, showing the aero, ground effects, tech, etc. no real production engine. The Vanquish Concept, is the one with no seats/interior or engine. However, there track record as of recently, shows that they are consistently putting out the products. And as someone said, Palmer is more credible than Bahar.

    I get your point , maybe i'm wrong but I don't believe Aston has the technological know-how to develop such car ,
    Are you sure Valkyrie road tests have started?

    Aston have completed the verification prototype, most clients have also finished speccing up their car. Road reviews should come up some time this year or early next year. They develop this car with Red Bull Advanced Technologies as well so I won't question their know-how.

    Pretty much. As I said in one of my previous posts, I didn't expect anything crazy or revolutionary in terms of design (in other words: not a spaceship) and Mr. PPG was totally right about it.

    Exactly, they just show you a concept first, probably get deposit from potential buyers, then start road test for years. Ferrari is the other way around, road test for years then show you the real car.

    They don't!
    That's why Redbull Racing is doing a lot of development for them. Real F1 technology.
    I was very impressed with what I saw, but again decided to decline.
    Let's wait if my gut feeling was correct.....!

    You are Amazing! I believed it was the last problem for such a car: but it looks that everyone has his own priority, why not.

    You are the customer that Schedoni dreams about every night: everyone that wants to carry luggage on his Ferrari so in the need of buying his sets... ;)

    ciao

    Just one red/black 'mock-up' of the new car and not a running example to be shown?
