Nope, not really seeing that.

[Kiliunjubl]

Looks like an elongated 599.

Autocar are saying 715HP.

This... looks nice.

Still not a stunner in my books.

[Cerilopasei]

I don't see that in the Ferarri at all. I can see the similarities between the Batmobile and the Maybach Exelero though.

[Bymnbypeten]

Not a 599?

It's similar, just looked up a few more versions of that on Pistonheads but I don't think thats what it was, the back was a lot more angular - Almost a bit lambo-ish


EDIT - Pretty sure I've found it... It was a brand new 458 Italia I think, I only saw it from the back/side

[Nptxsews]

You're either blind or trying to be funny cos' there's now way the thing looks like the F620.

[ElenaEvgeevnaa]

You dont see the line from tail to front? The upwads hood?


Come on guys, look at the lines... Not much difference.

M5, X5, C63, RS4 are proper names are they?

I agree.


Its the model that makes it forgettable, or unforgettable.

911, 959, 550. 3 numbers that just about any petrol head anywhere will recognize.

No, they're not BUT I don't actually love any of those cars anyway, I'm being forced to consider them by family commitments... otherwise wouldn't have even looked at them at all, as none of them float my boat so to speak. They are basically cars that are quick and will fit 5 people in them, infact I've had a passion for burning BMW's in the past... BUT... they do give an option. Like I say below, if I won some cash and was single these cars would NOT form any part of a short list. The quote on numbers now being forced dfown my throat was a one liner just joking about Ferrari lol.

--- Post Update ---

I'm sorry but if you consider yourself a car nut and don't remember those 5 models that I mentioned then you are no car nut.

Would you rather have a McLaren MP4-12C

No I just don't follow Ferrari as I originally said because I don't and never have liked them, if I won the Lotto tomorrow, wouldn't even think about a Ferrari. Personal preference that's all. Don't think I could even tell you a real name of a Ferrari... i.e. one that doesn't have a number... must be one... but I can't think of one. If you don't like something you don't take any notice. So I take it as a car nutt you know all known sports cars then? No, thought not.

I was just thinking from the 360 onwards Ferrari have given all their cars numbers and a name. 360 Modena, 550 Maranello, 599 Fiorano, Enzo, 612 Scaglietti, 458 Italia but then the 430 seems to be the exception?! It doesn't have a name does it? Anyway everyone I know refers to them by their number and not their name. The numbers give you a bit of detail about the engines as well

[Casyimipist]

Theres the scuderia F430 .... but that is a lighter faster version of the normal F430 that doesnt have a name you are correct.

[h0ldem]

According to CarBuzz its engine produces 740BHP, 0-62mph in 3.0s, 0-124mph in 8.5s. Very impressive and boy does it look sweet.

[Anckzxik]

Only few hours to go.

[en-druzhba]

I wonder how it's fuel economy compares to, say, a LS7 'vette?

[Gometesstem]

I wonder how it's fuel economy compares to, say, a LS7 'vette?

Like it even matters to those who can afford such a car.

[lh88gFzI]

It's a dig at those who go on about US cars being thirsty - some high end Euro' cars can be very thirsty.
The 'Vette was chosen as it's about the same max' hp as the Ferrari - my money is on GM being significantly better

[Goalseexere]

Like it even matters to those who can afford such a car.

It still matters to a certain point because at this level it increases the time in between refills.

[gkihueonhjh]

Euro cars are having to become more economical and better to the environment though.... because of EU laws on emissions.

MP4-12C is a clear example of that and even the new M5 is now a V8 turbo charged is it not?.... a lot of american super still use huge capacity engines and probably will for the foreseeable future do you not think?

Holy mother!!!

This thing is faster than Enzo or 458 Italia in Fiorano track.
By 2 seconds! [surrender]



It can't be that good in corners...

And the Americans have had corporate fuel consumption legislation for a couple of decades...
Now, what size engine does that Ferrari have? The Aston Martin V12s, the Bentley W12, the Veyron, the Lamborghinis, the bigger Audis...

[Asianunta]

New bentley continental has a smaller V8 engine.... I am not saying there are not euro cars with large engines... that would be silly, but the trend is starting to go towards slightly smaller turbo charged engines with better economy and lower emissions...

My question was do you think american cars will be going the same way in years to come...
