NEW MID ENGINED V6 (LITTLE BROTHER)

I think the cavalino restaurant will only make it an even nicer experience and help support reviving tourism to Italy post COVID this summer.

 

Ok, this pisses me off

F the men's and women's "luxury" clothes
F the "Ferrari style" online show
F a new restaurant

Get your asses in gear and win some FREAKIN' F1 races again and start making some great, noisy, fast yet beautiful sports cars instead of Freakin' SUV's for rich soccer moms to run to Costco in. Your market is men -- specifically car people. Start acting like you know that.

Get your marketing department people's heads out of their butts! Grow a pair. You're Ferrari dammit.

You're WELCOME!

/END rant

 

Tend to agree with you particularly on F1 which is just tragically bad. When it comes to the restaurant, I think doing something fancy with Bottero is a mistake. Montana is fine and has the history and good food. Bottero’s cooking is over done and to be honest not worth the money if Osteria Francescana is anything to go by.

 

Agree, Massimo is a genius

This seems to be more like a newsletter of upcoming events and for sure the fact that fashion—and especially restaurant—news are mentioned I don’t think it implies these are on the same level as a new sports car model.

 

I doubt they will price LB around F8 ..they moving into a higher segment now so expect Pista levels or maybe even higher

 

Exactly. Not sure why a simple announcement, which confirms a new sports car and includes some infos about side activities/businesses, could get this hate but...whatever.

 

The "whatever" is that Ferrari is more interested in promoting its womenwear today than new sportscars. Its forgotten its key audience.

This is just another example. Instead of talking to US about cars, its more interested in getting people to buy "Ferrari clothes".

Steve McQueen would be laughing his ass off.

BUT I do apologize for HiJacking this thread. We should get back to Little Brother.... Sorry

 

My "whatever" was about "F clothes" and "F the restaurant". I'm sure the LB will get the spotlight (deservedly so) when the time is right, but Ferrari, as a popular brand, has to care about other products as well to promote itself, be it a restaurant, a partnership with a fashion brand and so on. They are obviously less important than a new car in the eyes of most enthusiasts on this forum, nobody is denying that, but are still worth a mention in a normal, yet small, PR.

Also, no need to apologize Mayor, we're all here to share comments and opinions.

 

With two fewer cylinders and remaining RWD, do we think their could be a weight savings to LB (vs F8 or 488)?

Bringing Steve McQueen into this issue is a bit contradictory. McQueen was a celebrity and an amateur driver, actually a not so good one as the Tag Heuer ads makes us to believe (Paul Newman achieved a lot more with much less fuss).

So I wouldn't put Steve McQueen as the "standard of real manhood behind the wheel".

 

Can’t wait, the poster suggests those are the final wheels and they look Monza-esque , which imho isn’t a bad thing, interior looks (for the very little we can see) very reminiscent of the SF90, which is to be expected.

Hi Guys,

@maha already put my link to my instagram account. I was last Thursday in Maranello, the car is already spotted and reviewed. But this time one of the testcars (3 in total that day) was having camouflaged rims (what @9nb already said) they're close to the rims of the Monza. At the the picture where the car is driving behind a Fiat 500 you see her Looks in comparison to a normal road car
The noise? it's pretty close to the SF90, only the SF90 sounds a little bit heavier
as always our Render artist @isot will make some renders!

Greetings,

Derek

Thank you Derek for the spy shots!

 

My pleasure! I will be back in Maranello by Tuesday, and hopefully with some new updates!

 

Doesn't look particularly elegant, but I'm the worst at seeing beyond the camo.

So I hope I'm wrong!

 

What the heavily camouflaged V6's testcars didn't show was what I saw on this (Frankenstein ) Ferrari Mule
To little airholes on the bonnet.. curious what the function is and if it will come back on the Final car!

Don't worry, they changed almost every body panel to fool you!

 

I saw the V6 last year in october with her last form of camouflage.
The hips with the airintakes will be extreme high, higher then the rear view mirrors.
I had also the Luck that a SF90 crossed my path, the difference between mirror setup and airintakes are great to see!
Hope you like them!

@G. Pepper you see.. don't worry!

Great job Derek, terrific photos as always!

 

The airintake from behind, like @isot told me, it reminds him on the 250 LM!
I think we all agree, that is one of the best looking classics on the planet

Thanks, I hope I can post more updates in the next couple of days

 

I have a McQueen poster hanging in my office behind my desk.

I’ve asked this before, but is this a spider? Looks like flying buttresses...
