    Ferrari GG50 by Giugiaro will be unveiled at the next Tokyo Auto show.
    Car has been made to celebrate the 50th year in Industrial Design
    The GG50 is based upon the ugly 612 Scaglietti. Must be nothing but better.
    Tokyo auto show - October 19 => November 6.
    Bridgestone's POTENZA RE050 Tires Fitted on Ferrari GG50 Concept Car.
    - On Display at Bridgestone Booth at 39th Tokyo Motor Show -

    The car will be used in a future Bridgestone TV commercial.

    That looks like all the spy photos floating around which are supposedly of the disguised 600 Imola, I bet it was this.

    The 612 looks good I think. The front could be a little better, but other than that its a great looking car. Its a Ferrari too!

    I think the 612 looks very good too. I do think Ferrari should make the S/F Shields a little bit larger on the 612. IMO it looks too small.

    In that side shot the front end looks smaller for some reason, makes the car look nice and light.

    Let's face it, you can go to any car enthusiast forum and search the 612 and you'll find more people dislike the design than like it, it's just not a hit.

    And the rims in the above pics are the worst Ferrari has ever put on a car, they look like the cheap hub caps that you can buy at Wal Mart.

    I like the 612 okay, it's just disappointing....partly because expectations of Ferrari fans run so high.

    In person I really like the 612. It seems very different than when you see pictures of it. I think most posters that dislike it have not seen it in person.

    The 612 does look great in person. It represent a real grand touring sport. It would be a direct comparision to the Bentley Continental GT and it would blow the sock off the Bentley. But as far as being a supercar exotic, it's far from our expection, IMO.

    Perhaps this car will be the replacement like everyone is talking about and not the new Testarossa.......

    I agree. I didn't like it at first and was going to a bar here in Houston, Red Door, and a 612 was sitting out front. It was beautfiul, and it changed my perspective.

    Seeing it on the assembly line in Maranello, I switched sides and used my limited time there looking at the 430's and the SuperAmerica's...

    Even in person, the 612 did not give me wood!

    Sorry!
