Title: The New Enzo
Post by: PG_Gabriel on March 05, 2013, 03:42:24 PM
950 hp  :o Why don't they enter this for the F1 season? Give Alonso a better shot  :good:

My favorite part is the F1 rain light in the back. Otherwise I think the McLaren P1 is better to look at.

 :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: A Ferrari should not be that ugly!  :o

Enzo would turn in his grave if his name sticks to this brutal monstrosity.
It would be a good body shape for a Pagani or even a Lambo, but Ferrari's should have more class.  :(

I have to agree John. Way too extreme for Ferrari.

Am I the only one here who thinks this is a gorgeous car? :DntKnw: :DntKnw:

Like F1, due to emission regulation, they have to make sure that these beauties are stretched to possible limits regarding Aerodynamics. And being the most powerful Ferrari to be ever build, the had to push to get the best out of it.

Why do they call it LaFerrari?  Shouldn't it be IlFerrari or something?  Have Renault helped out somehow?

I'm on the side of 'don't really like it'.  Looks like a UFO (of course only Ian has seen a UFO, but he tells me this is what they look like)   :DntKnw:

Probably by UFO, Ian Means "You From Ontario"

Knowing Scott's mind I can think of a much more lurid meaning to UFO.  ::)

I've changed my mind! Now that I have read about this car and looked at just about every pic I can find on the web I get it. Just like the 458 and other newer models, also the Pagani Hy... thingy, all of which at first seemed to have ugly features at first. LaFerrari looks like that for a reason, this thing is just built to be the very best Ferrari could make it. Sure it's lacks the finesse of some earlier models but it sculpted for optimum performance, full stop. Verdict? A total work of automotive, aerodynamic and performance art! What more would you expect from Ferrari.

I passed a 458 Italia (yellow) yesterday.  Followed a minute later by a Bentley Continental GT.  Yowza!

My bike has the same problem.

I get the name now it's L A Ferrari, I guess to appeal to the American west coast market.  :D 

I do get the styling, but it's so McLaren looking from the side and three quarter view and Koenisegg or Pagani at the rear.  :( Ferarri is meant to be a leader to the pack not plagiarist's.  :P

I liked the 430 and the 599, every Ferrari since then has gotten uglier IMHO.

LaFerrari in motion. Looks a little better than in pics.
