Heres pics of the new prototype. Its called the Aurea.. http://www.ferraribuy.com/fb/scoop/index.html
Its not official by the way so dont get too excited! Aurea is the result of a collaboration between Ferrari and the Università degli Studi di Firenze.
looks like an enzo barchetta actually. how often does ferrari put out a new model? isn't it every 4-5 years? seems like they've put out a lot the past couple of years with the enzo, the 360cs, and the 612.
i'll call BS on that. there's no way they'd permit so much in-depth photography of an actual prototype. my guess is that it's just some project done at some university. no prototype of anything - just some futzin' around. but i've been wrong before (i think). doody.
Translation from Bablefish!! Gold Ferrari: Study and plan of une supersport University of the Studies of Florence - Faculty of Architecture Run of Bachelor in Industrial Design Department TAeD Pierluigi Spadolini With the collaboration of the Engineers of Produced Development FERRARI Hmmm!!!
University of Florence - Faculty of Architecture StudiesRun of Bachelor in Industrial DesignDepartment TAeD Pierluigi SpadoliniIn collaboration with the Production Development Engineers of FERRARI Not certain what *Run of Bachelor* means. Could be this, could be that - Study is most likely. If they're not careful, "aurea" might loosely and incorrectly be mentioned in passing as "aureole" - which may please or displease those with nipples that mean business. Judging by the top view, they must have seen the bikini thread and fell for the ol' slingshot-thong trick. Don't know what's up with the bling-bling tru-spokes, though. Ought to satisfy the "Ferrari isn't 'exotic' enough" whiners, though.
that's what it seems like - just some art student's design project. Pretty cool design, I'd give it an A.
Even though it isnt official, I think it is butt ugly. If Ferrari ever makes a car like that Im calling it quits
I think its more attractive than the Enzo. I wonder how much of the project was collaborated with Ferrari? Give it some time and we might see this student penning F-cars in your driveway in a few years.
I'm sure this is a student project... Anyway I must say it looks okay, I like the front but I'm that excited about the rear end. If someone has more information please tell us.
I should add that every Ferrari I have seen has looked pretty bad as a prototype drawing...So, in real life if I were to see this car, I might change my mind
Maybe this car will be the F60 for the 60 th anniversary of Ferrari in 2007 or maybe its the 360 replacement? (I'm just saying that because I have no idea why they have to built a new car with a new name after they just came out with an Enzo,360 CS , 612 )
Oh My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Major SCHWING!!!!!!!!!! Now THATS what a Ferrari Should look like. Put me down for the GT version, G Dam what a car!!!!!
I really like it to - almost McLaren-esque on that one side shot. Some elements might be a little over-the-top, but I love the basic design I think it has promise
I don't think any of you have mentioned it yet, but that isn't real -- that is to say, every image there is a computer generated 3D render. As a college student who majors in computer animation and video effects, I believe I am qualified to tell when something is or isn't real in that respect. Needless to say, the car in those "photos" isn't real. It is a pretty good 3D render though, nearly the best I have seen.
