Touring reimagined the Maranello

See you there!

 

It’s based off a 550 platform?

 

@Menko I wonder if this car will be at your event tomorrow. Let us know if you get a view.

 

I left Touring Superleggera in 2022, so I have nothing to do with the new Touring Superleggera's car.
Best regards,
Louis de Fabribeckers

Will this be in Monterey for all to see? I hope someone posts pictures. While it's cool to see people tweek the maranello I look at the 550 today and it just gets more and more classic looking. When the 575 came out I thought that's the way a maranello interior should look. but it is 25+ years since the 550 and the 550 just exudes classic lines and classic design including an interior that complements the body lines.

 

I don't think it's an improvement..

Strangely I look at that and the bridge to the 599/612 scagilitti nose. We had 550 and 575 OK make this one 585?

 

Why did you leave

 

I have two different feelings about the car.

First the design,and it’s purely personal. I don’t really like it. There some nice details inside and outside, great reminders to both Touring and Ferrari heritage, and of course some pure lines - but too many lines?

And second, the concept. It’s pure Touring heritage to use an existing chassis and add its design and give its proper shape. Strangely they did this with a Pininfarina car, but actually, if they use an existing car, they are necessarily forced to use a car designer by another designer…

To me it’s more like a restomod of a 550 than a new car (as per they did with the Berlinetta Lusso and the Aero 3).

Still, I’m impatient to see some live pics and videos of the car, and then also see the other models personnalised by their customers.

 

It’s a beautiful car I think it’s great

Meh, not that exciting. Rather just get a modern ferrari

Big 90s greenhouse looks awkward with modern graphics.

And who wants superleggera emblems over iconic prancing horse?

 

Thanks for posting those pics! I much prefer the original. Any weight savings?

 

The Body is all CF, so yes. Also 30 (?) more HP.

 

The front looks like one of those recent Fiat Spyders…

 

I still think the pinnacle of maranello development was the prodrive racecars in purposefull esthetics and performance

 

They have ruined every detail that makes the 550 such a great and now timeless design.

 

They will all be sold and put into collections

 

Thank you sharing the photos. I respect the tremendous effort they put into this but would rather have an original.

This is a more successful update if you ask me. Looks totally cohesive
