599 GTB Fiorano photos

If the projected price will be indeed lower then 612(or close to it)with performance only marginally lower then Enzo(as hinted by insiders),that car will be also a relative bargain too.(next to SLR,CGT,Zonda)

 

Superb Manuma. Thanks for the technical updates- it's bloody brilliant, to borrow the British phrase.

This will indeed be the trifecta for Ferrari. Every model in the line-up will be sold-out before it's built.

I think I prefer the Rubino, at least in photos.

It's a very seductive shape- the more you look, the more you want to look, as a Ferrari should be.


Molto gratzie,


Cavallini

 

For a full replacement of the 550/575, I think Ferrari nailed it!!! This thing is everything I always wanted the prior cars to be....very aggressive (mean) and compelling (for me) from every angle. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

nice, but a bit overstyled in my view

I have weak knees.....

 

That motor is pure sex. I can see where the Testarossa rumors came from, but I'm glad they didn't give that name to this car.

 

Very nice! I'd love to see that engine bay in carbon fiber...

 

Overstyled??? What are you smoking, brother????


BELLISSIMA!!!!!



Thanks for the shots,



Cavallini

 

AWESOME looking engine....

 

I'm sure it's there, just well-hidden. But wait, you actually saw it, no? I'd find it hard to believe they incorporated Sat-Nav into the 575 but not this.


Forza,



Cavallini

 

Seeing these photos from the unveiling highlight just how poor the press release photos are. Compared to these "in the flesh" shots, the press release photos hardly look like the same car! Any doubts people may have had about the overall shape/design based on first glance of the original photos have to be quickly fading after seeing these! For me, this is one of the most exciting Ferrari's to look at in years!!

 

That's the best shot of the whole car!

 

the engine looks fabulous

 

I said that from day one....

I was never worried....

 

BEAUTIFUL! Liking this design more and more every time i see it.
I also agree that Ferrari's promo shots leave a lot to be desired. I think they are photo-retouched to the extreme and end up looking kind of unrealistic. The studio shots of the 80s and 90s were alot better.

Here is another link with more shots of the event

also... becaue i am not a huge fan of the 612's frontend, i couldnt resist a photochop grafting the nose of the 599 to the 612. Helps it alot i think....

Kudos to you BluCam, I remember the thread where I said I'd have to ride on your confidence. LOL. So glad you were right. What do you have, 4-D vision or something, transcontinental optics? LOL



Forza,


Cavallini

 

I beg to differ, my friend. The 612 is more photo-sensitive than this but in full-view live shots it's a beautiful shape. Have you seen the shots of the Novitec Rosso changes?

Here's a few. The Novitec is the black one.

Remember, the 612 is a pure GT that just happens to handle like a mid-engine sports car.

I think it's the icing on a gorgeous cake.

I just had high hopes....and was right!

 

its just that the engine bay looks too neat, almost Germanic. Hell, having a look at them again I agree it does look good!

 

here is the screen I was referring to..

There was no sat-nav in the 575....unless you mean the cheesy one in the head-unit of the stereo.

 

LOL..That's classic.

It doesn't look packaged like the German cars, just crisp, no?



Forza,


Cavallini

 

I guess I meant the cheesy one. LOL!



Forza,


Cavallini

 

That is rather small. Hmmmm...Disappointing considering the superbia of the rest of the car.

Maybe it's wonderfully functional but just more compact than other units....lol.



Forza,


Cavallini
