Hmmm... i see traces of the NSX and the Bugatti... You think they could at least be original with the design...? Ok, ok, i'm being snotty... i can't help it, i'm biased... i know the Enzo isn't the fastest car in the world, but i'm allowed to be defensive, right...?
http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4882 Already attacked, defended, and discussed. Like I said before, hope they build it and don't just tease.
Now will it go in production? Just look at the Cadillac Cien (750 bhp), to me that car is going nowhere.
No worries. Only DES can follow all the topics at once, you know with that chip in his brain and all.
I HIGHLY doubt the ME412 will be built but then again look at the Viper & Ford GT which I also doubted. The ME412 is better looking than the ENZO. Pininfarina needs to fire that Japanese designer & get a good Italian designer again.
NSX?? Looks more like the illegitimate baby of a Lambo Murci-lardo and an Audi PeePee. However, I actually like the baby's looks better than either of the alleged parents. And the numbers are staggering. But while the Ford GT seemed fairly logical to me... this one does not... I give it a snowball's chance in hell of ever being produced. Unfortunately.
Yuck! Im sorry, but that is hideous. Yea 0-60 in 2.9 seconds is fun, but its not worth it for that thing.
I talked to the Caddy rep at the Anaheim Auto Show - He said that would not ever go into production. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I like it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't buy it for the money (ummm F40 for starters) and if Daimler-Chrysler is giving away, then I say go for it! Everyone needs a halo car or at least a halo concept. It stirred up our blood, but not nearly as enticing as the CGT. Sunny
Damn, you know the Germans have completely taken over every particle of Chrysler when they call the car the ME412 (similar in designation to the ME109 of WW2). I'm guessing the Bristol Fighter is a percieved competitor...
Jordan, i think i have to disagree with you, here... If it lives up to the performance specs, it seems like it would DEFINITELY be worth it... It just looks like crap compared to an Enzo... That and i'd never take one over an Enzo simply because the Enzo is a Ferrari...
