Wonder if Ferrari had any input, or even if they know about this. Enzo would not be happy.

I think they (Yanko Design) would be in some trouble to brand it without Ferrari's permission. :DntKnw:

Inevitable that Ferrari moves into electric propulsion, every other Major car maker is working in that area in some way, not sure I'd spend my own money on one though. Like the overall shape and look though, I'm a fan of roadsters and could see this being a winner as a new gen FIAT X19 - with an internal combustion engine of course.

What interests me more is when might we see an F1 team rolling up to a race with a 'Buckypaper' bodied car? 
It's lighter than carbon fibre and certainly strong enough, they're even talking about it as personal armour plating so it's robust enough. But will Newey be able to get Red Bull to splash the cash, it's incredibly expensive at the moment?  ;)

FIA is trying to save money, and you are talking about bringing nano-tech to F1?   :DD :DD
