Imola Racig Ferrari 360 NGT for The Road.

[SFDMALEX]

I went to a local book store today(to buy a book) and I stumbled across the Forza magazine with a beautiful 360 on the cover page. Right away I push some old guy reading a jaguar magazine out of my way and grab the magazine searching for the cover article. With my hands smoking on just that much away from getting a paper cut I find the article and start drooling like a dog over a peace of bone. I loved it. All of you know that I like to keep cars they way they are. Original. But in this case Ill make an expection since all of the performance enhancents were achived without using any forced induction, or other cheap tricks. This car has 480BHP. Thats N/A power. All achived by little tweaks. I did not have the time to read the article completly, but Im sure it got more to it then power. Plus it does look like the NGT racer. Its just beautiful. For those iterensted its not the F1 version, its a proper manual, and the interior remains the same. If you gus are fimiliar with the JMB 360 racers, then this looks hell lot like it. The front and the back bumpers are pretty much replicas of the race car.

This was the 360. BTW It looks like shit in these pictures. In the magazine its simply amazing. Its not as glossy in RL. It has a more matt color to it.

That i the one that Eliseo Salazar drives in the USA ?

damn..looks good, but i like the CS rims more and the quad exhaust. very nice varbon intakes tho!

It looks good,it seems the N/GT car,and it's good,because I don't like mods like the Koenig 360. They're only ruining one of the sexiest car in the world. But this has a strong link with the reality.

I agree with Dan. BBS rims and quad exhaust

dan?! i aint dan!

Yup, minor differences. You know, the obvious ones as one is a road car and the other is a full on race car.

Even though SFD said the front and rear bumpers were the same, he's kind of wrong. The front bumper on the JMB race car doesn't have that cutout on the front. It's straight across with two lights. Hard to explain, but this pic should show the differences. Unless the road car has them, it's hard to tell in the pic SFD posted.

Sorry for the small pic, but it's the first one I found.

Thanks for posting this SFD, a friend told me about it not too long ago and I had forgotten about it. It's a sweet car, I'd love to have one. Now I just have to figure out where I can pick up Forza Magazine. Barnes and Noble never has it. :(

WOW! that engine looks mean! How did they get the extra power that Ferrari didn't?

[atlshaver]

Thanks for posting the pics. The car looks very nice with those wheels.

Ferrari find 400bhp enough. There engines have lots of potential. But as Luca said ones "We are not going for top speed, or hp records"(not exactly what he said, I paraphrased that a little). Anyway, they do what the think is enough. For them 400bhp is enough. That V8 is capable of much more.

[SFDMALEX]

Wow! It looks stunning... but in red, with quad exhaust and the BBS rims... it would be much much better. I can't imagine the sound of that 480hp engine; the 400hp V8 sound is just amazing, this one should be... errr... brutal.

Actually I dont like how it looks in these pictures iether, but in the magazine the black looks just stunning.




BTW 666fast in the magazine the front bumper looked slightly different. This is too round, its more agressive, sharped aged in the magazine...

[SamuraiGti]

The road car is very nice. I like it more. If it had the CS rims it would be much better =)

And they could change the seats for bacquets.

bleh......im not big on the front bumper. the front end is already very bulky in plain stock trim for my tastes, and this bumper just kills the lines IMO. the extra power is nice, but think about where it is in the rpm band as well. an extra 85hp or so is always cool, but on an already high strung engine..........making a peaky engine peakier. there is a reason turbocharging these motors is a popular idea.....down low torque is our friend. :twisted:

So it looks more like the pic I posted? Either way, it's pretty damn cool.

Sorry Deth! I was falling asleep in fornt of the Pc, and I msade the mistake :oops:

I think it looks great but ferrari's are perfect in their natural form and shouldn't be tweaked with, 400bhp is enough, if ferrari think its enuf y not believe them
