thats not too bad, i wouldnt mind having one. i saw a current one today, it was pretty nice, sounded great, as Ferrari's usually do

Jabba 08-07-2003 04:14 AM

Yes I agree its not that bad at all...compared to some of their other stuff recently (360/550)...this is a beauty....

cho_888 08-07-2003 05:04 AM

dont get me wrong i like it, but it looks like a mazda

1zippo1 08-07-2003 05:51 AM

Yep, it looks good, but the front is a bit unferrari like... Too many rounded curves makes it look a bit like a mazda. Curious if this really is the way it's gonna look when it'll come out.

tekwar 08-07-2003 08:27 AM

for some reason the car reminds me of a corvette. Its still a nice looking car but thats about all i can give it.

Johns 08-07-2003 08:42 AM

nice, I think that model is suppose to have the Enzo's engine :shock:

troskap 08-07-2003 05:53 PM

It may have the Enzo's engine, but, gads, it reminds me of one of the newer model Dodge Avengers.....

fedezyl 08-07-2003 06:51 PM

I agree, but the enzo, the new ferrari's are starting to look japanes in the front...weird...

SFDMALEX 08-07-2003 09:36 PM

Well, I sure it gonna look way different, since this is just a drawing. I rember seeing the drawings of the current 456 and it didnt look anyting like it. Plus I saw the pictures of this 456 in EVO and it looks way different also.


Jabba- You dont like the 550 or the 360??? I think they are both gorgeous. The 550 is very classy looking. And the 360 is just beautiful IMHO.

stracing 08-07-2003 09:40 PM

at least it kept its original front grill

I cant say I am over keen on them...perhaps it is becuase the are more "classy" looking now...where as I like "exciting looking"...the 360 spider is indeed gorgeous though....

tekwar 08-09-2003 10:04 AM

I personally love how the 360 looks, but thats just preference. I think you probably prefer something that looks more wicked, not so curvy like the lambo gall. But if i had to pick, ill take the lambo too.

Two new pics of the disguised car:

Im not a 456 fan looks way to much like the old porsche's especially the hoods. this new one looks like its getting its update though especially the headlights not bad i must admit

Jabba u dont like the 550 or 360?

sportVeloce 08-10-2003 09:54 AM

456
 
Personally I think the 550 does not look anything special. I can think of plenty of cars where money could be better spent. EG F40 for less! The 360 Spyder looks cool, but the normal 360 is pretty boring and Hyundai looking.

The new 456 looks half ok. It was never a wonderful looking car so why expect anything else for the new one? Does Nissan Z ring a bell? Thats what im seeing...

Its not an exotic. To be an exotic it has to do more than go fast. It has to look exotic... like an "Ice Cream cake with a sparkler" or "Rachus Rock and Roll"...

Nice way to describe a Lamborghini Countach :wink:

456 becomes 460????
 
It is a great picture and indeed very exclusive. I only saw prototype pictures of it. I think we are talking about the new 460M.

More than ten years after the Ferrari 456 was launched, Ferrari will introduce a new 2+2 model at the 2004 Detroit Motorshow. Ferrari have yet to release a name, but strong rumours suggest that '460M' will be the name. Pininfarina design sketches and some technical information have already been released. Power will come from a down-tuned version of the 6 litre Enzo engine, which explains the '60' part of the name.

The new 2+2 will be considerably lighter than the car it replaces due to the extensive use of aluminum. It relies on the lessons learned when designing the 360 Modena, which uses a similar aluminum construction. Three six-speed gearboxes will be available; a complete manual, a semi-automatic 'F1' and a full automatic gearbox.

Responsible for the body is Pininfarina's Ken Okuyama. The design features the designer's characteristic sharp lines as seen on the Rossa concept and the Enzo.

it looks to much like a maserati

twboy1999 09-18-2003 10:01 PM

dun really like how the front look
but we never know how the final product will look like
hopefully is not like this

this thing looks freaking heavy

blah 09-19-2003 12:30 AM

It looks plain to me, like something mercedez would make.

Chingachgook 09-19-2003 03:34 AM

This could be one of the most beautiful Ferrari ever.
I love the 456 GT, and I'll love moooore this one.
Hope it'll be lighter than the 575M and even more power.
I heard Ferrari asked Audi for the 4wd system :twisted: :cry:

yunet 09-19-2003 04:10 AM

That looks awesome!! :P
It isn't wrong at any angle!
It must be one of best looking Ferrari EVER!

alondahan 09-19-2003 10:15 AM

most probably it will not be called the 460GT. 456 is the cylinder capacity in the 456GT (5474cc/12), so if the replacment will use this code it should be could the 479GT (if it has the 575M engine) or 500GT (if it has the Enzo engine).

about the awd, I don't think this will become reality. there was never a non RWD Ferrari before, and hopefully there will never be.

oeggermo 09-19-2003 10:48 AM

alondahan, as I wrote before :

"Power will come from a down-tuned version of the 6 litre Enzo engine, which explains the '60' part of the name."

as far as I know the Enzo has a 6 liter engine, that is why it is likely that it is going to be called 460.

Johns 09-19-2003 11:46 AM

ferrari550 09-20-2003 12:17 PM
