From a time that taste forgot ........

Hi all. Just dredged up something from the archives that you may find interesting.

After their success of luring Ferrari momentarily away from Pininfarina with the 308 GT4 (or more likely Pininfarina being too busy and/or expensive), Bertone put forward a model for the updated 308. Let's gloss over the fact they called it the 'Ferrari Rainbow' shall we and just marvel in the car for a bit. They honestly thought this was to be the next Ferrari?!?

There are several cars that thing favors and none of them are aesthetically pleasing.

Sure glad that didn't make production! Given the importance of the 308 for Ferrari, things would most likely have taken a turn for the worst.

 

It looks more like a boat than a sports car. The width outside of the front lights and over the front wings look more like running boards!

 

We could see if it'll float. My guess is no, but that wouldn't be much of a loss.

I just can't take it seriously. To me it looks like it should be on a carpet with my son pulling it backwards then letting it go.

 

Looks like an X-19 with a body kit. Ouch.

 

It would be interesting to see if that actually went to production and it did catch on how it would have changed the way automobile designs would have looked today.

Im glad someone up high made the call to produce what Ferrari actually produced.

 

I was just gonna say that!

 

Why is this in the 348/355 section?

 

Just some light hearted fun. Why is your avatar an F40? It's in the wrong section

 

Now, that's funny!

Sorry guys, just some light hearted banter but couldn't resist. Will be good from now on, honest.

 

I think I saw it in Total Recall (the first and real movie)..

 

I like how the top works....w/ the sunroof that doubles as a back window when folded.

 

Can you just imagine someone converting a Fiero to look like that thing.

 

No, but I can imagine someone converting one of those to look like a Fiero

 

"Logan's Run" is calling wanting their car back...

Lol.

 

I needed to add, that I think this design is just awful.

That is all.

That first pic has James Bond written all over it. Great pics everyone....!

 

The back looks like a cassette deck, like a tape the size of a suitcase should pop in there and then it closes.

 

Hilarious!
