One might wish to go bac to who created the Daytona wagon. It was Gene Garfinkle who had been GM design. So, his modification to the Daytona had a GM sense to it anyway. As for the sideview rendering, I suspect that being based of a 599 the body side cross section would make the 3D loo far different from the Corvette.
The original Daytona shooting brake looked like a Ferrari hearse. I'm not sure why you'd want to pay homage to that. Those sketches look like a Corvette C7 hearse. If the idea floats someone's boat, then more power to them. However, those sketches sunk my battleship. All the best, Andrew.

I know there are wealthy collectors who pine for something SO exclusive, but the more I read about this project and look through the sketches the more I wonder why not just buy an FF/Lusso?
Correction: this is not a "shooting break" but a "previously shot break" (ref: British Crime Dramas Are Us).

Can't understand why it's so hard for Toyota to grasp what potential f150 and Silverado buyers desire. The recipe has existed for years, yet for some reason they arrogantly believe they have a better a formula. Anyway, that looks like it was designed using a dull blade and discarded styrofoam beer cooler.
No such luck. In the battle for out of control front end designs, they may be the all time winner. But we’ll have to wait and see.
Just received this from Italy. Haven't read it yet. Soft cover, 164 pg. @ $33. One of the few books that discusses the car and the art/design of the car. Anxious to hear what he has to say. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Guess I'll go ahead with the F150. I was waiting to see what the new Tundra would look like before I bought one. Pass.
I will become a believer after I see it in metal, Even the Garfinkle design turned out different than his drawing or are we to believe that it's a "Coco" Chinetti drawing? Here's an article on how the Daytona turned out. https://**********.com/2021/06/design-another-ferrari-shooting-brake.html Image Unavailable, Please Login
I posted this in the Purosangue thread, but I figured it had a place here as well. Same disclaimer. Just a rendering, albeit a nice one at that. Not based on any real data as far as I can tell. Too much sedan, not enough SUV. But I admire the rendering . No more, no less. For curious minds, I gave it a B+ for effort and a C+ for execution. Image Unavailable, Please Login
not bad overall... it has a few issues though. upper air inlet a bit too race track/tin snips for my taste, and the greenhouse is Polestar with short front door side glass.
My first thought: eeeewwwwww. My second thought: eeewwwwwwwwwwwww...... Third thought: oh why bother!
I think if Ferrari wants to distinguish themselves from the sea of SUVs already out there they need to do something race and very sporty. Off-road racing sporty, in fact. Maybe not with so big tires and fender gap. 4-doors and more greenhouse glass needed but something like this: Image Unavailable, Please Login
On this one I disagree. It looks like an Audi. Ferrari already did an SUV and the management got cold feet and told them to start over again and come back with something better. The distinguishing feature is the 'prancing horse' and not some wild design which I think is where they went on the first try. Make it easy to build and profitable is the new mantra...
