    Now that Andrea Pininfarina is no more and his company has been taken over by Banksters I hope Fioravanti gets a chance to design the next Ferraris

    Good stuff. Amazing to hear him pick apart his Daytona design...

    I can only imagine a Ferrari company run by Leonardo Fioravanti. Such a shame that the world missed that glory.

    I don't think there would be as many coffee cups and tee shirts sold the last 20 years if it happened...

    I wish he'd been asked what he'd change about the BB. I'll bet the list would be longer.

    Amen.

    I'd like to hear him critique it, actually.

    Just saw the Fioravanti SP1 in Tokyo last week and I have to say it was a very good design exercise base on the funky looking F430. While I don't think the side vents were all that great the redesigned rear end on the SP1 is absolutely stunning. The rear quarter view and rear end is absolutely beautiful.

    It's just fantastic that we can still enjoy and be mesmerised by this man's great designs. I bought my childhood dream 6 months ago and I'm falling in love with the lines all over again. Thank you Leonardo!

    I have always thought that if ever a car desiger was led by the hand of God himself, then it was the through the pen of Leonardo Fioravanti. His designs are fresh and inspiring and to this day I consider the 308 GTB to be the only car I can call PERFECT from every angle.

    His shoes have proven too difficult to fill.

    Montezemolo's replaced them with Chinese knock-offs.
