The 599GTB Fiorano reimagined.... Michiel's Vandenbrink GTO

This workspo reminds me Brandoli’s brothers service

 

Nice pictures, is the photo of the breadvan with the new front-end, from the recent work he has just carried out ?

Some very fine work,

Can't wait to see your project's in action.

 

Yes, the nose reconstruction from last year.

 

Now there's an international thread in 'showroom':

LOVE the reinterpretation of the GTO! WOW! That is just beautiful! The Convertible is gorgeous too! Excellent work indeed! I hope you sell a lot of them...send one of each to Austin, TX and I'll test them for you to see if they meet ADA and wheelchair users needs! LOL! ;-)

 

Michiel, do you have any new info on the car?



Best,
Jon

I want an Invitation to the Unveiling. Since I saw this car on topgear.com I have been drooling to see one.

 

I love it, it looks like an evolved design of the 550/575 with a lot of classic Ferrari lines infused in the design. I like this a lot better than the 599GTB. Honestly lately I've been alittle dissapointed at Pininfarina's design for OEM Ferraris. From the 612, Enzo, F430, to the 599GTB. I actually like some of the newer Maserati design better than the Ferraris (MC12, Gran Turismo) I suppose this open up a lot of opportunity for private coach building - the 575GTZ Zagato, 612 Kappa, Pininfarina P3/4, and now the Vandernbrink GTO.

 

Bump.

Michiel, what news can you give us?

What stage of design or production are you in?

No updates in so long worries me... I want this design to become reality!

 

I'm sorry, we have to be discreet for some time now...
Many things going on at the same time, which demand a lot of time and much attention.
GTO is going steady.

No worries.

 

Bump. Michiel, can you give us anything? Anything at all? A new little thumbnail of the build?

 

You can see the new GTO in this spy clip if you look closely...

Hi Michael (KITT)

Been a few months...
How's the project coming along? Any more news/Pics you can share. Hopefully a actual car!

Cheers.

 

Not yet... Several projects going on.
The GTO may not the first car we'll be introducing, because of another very nice car we're currently working on. We're also working on furniture design and some naval projects.
I've experienced that wealthy and demanding clients can sometimes have troubles making up their minds, because of the many options and styling directions available (blank sheet syndrom). This causes longer lead times for each project, which is nice for me, but a bit of a let down for the fans.

 

There's a new pic in the header of this website, though... http://www.coachbuild.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

 

Michiel- Best of luck on all your cars. Really refreshing to see some new design directions being produced. Looking forward to seeing real hardware and congratulations on all your hard-won commercial successes.

So do I, Terry. So do I.

 

Lookin god. Just wish I didn't have to scroll past the RR Wraith.

 

Best thread in F-chat.
