    not sure what this will be but saw a teaser ad for it in forza mag and could be a beauty. best i can make out its going to be a cobra replica with 599 motor and custom body inspired by 250tr. debut at pebble beach events this month. anyone know more about it?

    looks little bit more cobra than ferrari but still pretty nice. wonder what pricing will be. the forza ad made it seem like 7 figure car but this foto looks more low 6 figure to me.

    how heavy is 599 motor compared to ford v8? and are they using stick or f1 trans?

    AG:     Are you going with an older Colombo V12 or a more modern unit?

    TT: I’m going to be using a 2008 Ferrari 599 V12, 630-horsepower. I thought about the fuel injection and being that the intake manifold on a 599 is so big,
    I decided that I’m going to make my own intake manifold and run six Webers down the middle like the old school cars, but it’ll be today’s engine.
    I think a high revving 630-horsepower carbureted V12 is going to be pretty cool.

    That is gorgeous. Reminds me of one of James Wood's fantasy Ferrari 1:43 scale models.
