    I don't remember exactly. I believe it is not made by Ferrari. I remember it being a re-body of a TR.

    Leave it to our good friends at www.italiaspeed.com to keep up so well and in depth with the Italian motoing industry - conceptual and otherwise. These photos are from a bit ago and the car is named the Rossellini, and is designed through Castagna. I know very little about this car and do not recall any mention of it throughout automotive affairs. I can remember a bit from a Geneva Motorshow a year or so ago but nothing more. I was curious to know if anyone know of its role with Ferrari, or is it just another r&d car like a Sbarro?

    (The five pages I displayed earlier did not work: This is the www.images.google.com page that had all the links)

    This looks a bit like the Rossa with a very F90 influence...

    This was taken at Boughton Hall ferrari day in I think 2003, it is a Testarossa with a one off rebody, it looked like a cross between a 360 and a Testa, it did get a lot of interest, my friend was really interested in it, when I see him I'll get more info on it

    I remember the owner stating that he was inspired by the 1970 512 race cars

    I can see William's point, the front end really does look like the old 512M's (not the 1996 one) and 512S. I really like the front. The head light cluster looks to be from a 512M (as in the 512TR replacement).

    That is a great looking car!! That could even be a good push for Ferrari to get a mid 12 back in the line-up! I really like it!

    Mirrors are wrong for one.
    Still it is prettier than a Testarossa (ducks and runs for cover)

    This is not the same car!

    The car pictured was custom-built to the (UK) owner's design on a Testarossa chassis. As correctly stated, it was displayed at the UK Owners' Club Concours and National Meet at Boughton House in 2003, where it won the Ladies cup. That prize is presented by the lady Concours Judges to the car present that they would most like to drive home in.

    I miss-match of about 5 different cars. Result: different but far from better.

    This sentiment is thought provoking.:cool:

    Though I am not a student of automotive styling, I have come to appreciate that it is much more difficult to pen a design than merely throwing together an assemblage of curves and edges which intersect and converge.

    In the end, however, the beholder decides for himself whether he finds something beautiful or not.

    The 512TR and F512M look better IMO.

    That's an interesting car... not sure what to make of it really. It's certainly different to the TR, but I can't figure out whether I like the overall shape more or less.

    I do miss the side strakes though. :eek:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    If you copy, do it well. The parts they copied from other cars are not done well here.

    No.... the steering wheels definately on the right side of the car! ;)

    (Unless you live in one of those countries that insist on driving on the wrong side of the road, which is actually the right side of the road and not the left side of the road, which would be the right side of the road to drive on!. Confused?, You won't be after this episode of: SOAP! :p ).



    (BTW, Holy thread resurrection Batman! :D )
